Play Live Casino

In the casino gaming development space, there are three kinds of developers: those that focus mainly on RNG games, those that focus on live games, and those that do both.

Visionary iGaming is primarily a live game developer. They claim to be one of the very first companies to offer B2B live dealer solutions.

Live dealer games are no longer a niche product in online casino gambling. As the number of available casinos grows, more of them are adopting live games as a way to draw in new players. Live gaming represents an opportunity to play your favorite casino table games without having to physically be in a brick-and-mortar casino.

For the live gaming fan, it is all about presentation. Offer the right presentation and you will get your share of players visiting your site. That is what Visionary iGaming is all about. They strive to provide an incomparable live experience that all but demands players sit down at one of their tables.

Visionary iGaming's profile

MegaMoolah.com has reviewed numerous game developers here on our website, but Visionary iGaming is special. This Costa Rican company is relatively new compared to some of the other game developers we know and love. They have only been around since 2008. However, being just 10 years old (at the time of this writing) hasn't stopped them from becoming a game developing powerhouse.

Visionary iGaming markets itself as "one of the largest B2B Live Dealer providers in the world.". They currently employ more than 200 people at their San Jose facilities. Their feeds supply live games to more than 50 operators - both online and brick-and-mortar - while their games are enjoyed by more than 30,000 players each month. Visionary iGaming live games facilitate more than $2.42 billion in annual bets.

That's not bad for a relatively new gaming company located in a Central American country. The company's results are proof of its commitment to understanding the business requirements of customers and then developing live gambling solutions that meet those requirements.

Also note that a stated part of Visionary iGaming's mission is to utilize the live dealer experience as a means of creating solutions that maximize client revenues. In simple English, part of their mission is to ensure the success of each of their client's businesses. When clients thrive, so does Visionary iGaming.

Visionary iGaming's Products

The actual games produced by Visionary iGaming are all live dealer games. This is to say that players are not playing RNG video simulations. They are connected to live dealer tables using real-time audio and video. The games they are betting on are played out in real time using professionally trained dealers and croupiers. The cards are real, the chips are real, the tables are real, and so forth. The only thing simulated are the computer-generated buttons that players use to engage with their chosen games.

Having said all that, each of Visionary iGaming's games can be built around one of the following six product solutions:

  • Integrated - Visionary iGaming's integrated solution makes it possible to offer their games in an existing online environment without having to build everything from the ground up. Integrated solutions are available to both online and land-based operators. They include the games along with wallet integration, fund transfers, back-office functions, and live customer support.
  • Turnkey - The company's turnkey solutions are exactly as their name implies. A turnkey solution allows a new operator to establish a brand-new online casino and brand with a package that is ready to go right out of the box. Solutions include content management, payment processing, cashier services, affiliate marketing, and more.
  • Betting Shop - Betting shop solutions are designed for owners of brick-and-mortar locations looking to offer live gambling by way of physical kiosks, PC terminals, and mobile devices. These solutions make it possible to offer live gaming without having to set up a land-based casino. Of course, that does not preclude land-based casino operators from adding these solutions.
  • Land-Based - Visionary iGaming's land-based solutions are intended for existing casinos looking to add live dealer operations. Why would a land-based casino do this? Because live dealer games increase revenue and generate traffic. There are people who appreciate a good table game but don't do well under the pressure of a live setting. They are perfect candidates for Visionary iGaming solutions.
  • Mobile - As its name suggests, the games offered through Visionary iGaming's mobile solutions are all intended for mobile users. Game interfaces are based in HTML5 rather than Flash, so they are device independent.
  • Social - Visionary iGaming's Live Social Casino is a platform designed to accommodate large numbers of simultaneous users all playing and interacting with one another. The company says their social solutions can accommodate up to 15,000 users at one time.
  • Private Tables - Online casinos looking for live dealer games for their VIP players can choose one of the private table solutions from Visionary iGaming. VIP Private tables offer a more sophisticated presentation along with limitless branding and additional customization options.
  • Promotions - Last are Visionary iGaming's live promotions. The company partners with clients to offer viable promotions aimed at driving traffic. Options include live tournaments, jackpots, VIP events, news tickers, and customized marketing materials.

As you can see, there is more to Visionary iGaming than just the live dealer games they develop. Visionary iGaming aims to offer complete online gambling solutions to clients looking for the very best in live dealer experiences. From a small selection of live dealer games to a full, Turnkey casino environment, Visionary iGaming offers it all.

It is also important to mention that some of the company solutions include RNG games. Think video slots and video table games, here. Please note that Visionary iGaming does not develop such games in-house. Rather, they partner with Betsoft to offer RNG titles alongside their live dealer games.

Examples of Visionary iGaming titles

So, exactly what games has Visionary iGaming produced? We'll start with blackjack. Visionary iGaming has designed live blackjack to accurately mimic the Las Vegas blackjack experience. There are seven seats per table. The table is hosted by a dealer trained in Vegas-style play.

Players experience a very social environment, an environment in which they can interact with each other and the dealer simultaneously. In terms of game-play, all the standard rules apply. Players can hit, stand, double, or split just as they would in a land-based casino. They also have access to a number of side bets.

Visionary iGaming's other four games are as follows:

  • Baccarat - This is a Macau-inspired Baccarat game that has been optimized for the live dealer environment. It is especially attractive to VIP players. Visionary iGaming utilizes multiple video camera angles along with picture-in-picture (PIP) technology to capture all the fast-paced action that Baccarat is known for.
  • European Roulette - It wouldn't be right to offer live dealer games without including European roulette. No worries, Visionary iGaming has one of the best live roulette games on the market. It is a rich, HTML5 game that combines HD video with computer-generated graphics for a complete gambling experience.
  • American Roulette - For every player who prefers European roulette there is another one preferring the American game. Visionary iGaming's American roulette offers the same rich experience with HD video and PIP technology. The only difference here is that it is played based on American rules. That means the addition of a double zero pocket and an extra wager.
  • Blackjack Early Payout - Last but not least is Visionary iGaming's proprietary Early Payout blackjack game. This is a common draw blackjack came with a twist: players can opt out of a hand at any stage in exchange for a payout that is based on the dealer's visible card. This option makes it possible to play blackjack without ever busting a hand.

One last note about Blackjack Early Payout before we move on. Visionary iGaming claims that this particular game is the highest paying blackjack game online. They say the RTP is 99.5%. That makes sense, given the fact that players can opt out and choose an early payout rather than risking a bust.

All Visionary iGaming's live dealer games offer side bets, by the way. This is an important feature to a lot of live dealer players. Game interfaces also include a scrolling news ticker that operators can leave intact or opt out of. The news ticker is a great cross-selling tool that keeps players informed of what is going on in other parts of the online gambling world.
