Turnkey and Land-Based Operations
Ezugi also offers dealer and croupier training and services for casinos establishing and operating their own live dealer setup. The review describes specialists installing the necessary hardware at a casino and training its staff. The dedicated live dealer suite can then serve mobile and desktop players.
Ezugi 360 Operations (OTT)
In the Live Casino segment of the online casino industry, Ezugi’s 360 offering uses a format also adopted by competitors: online players can bet on games at real tables in land-based casinos. The review says Ezugi used OTT roulette to stream these games.
For this setup, the company partners with land-based casinos, installing HD cameras over the table and using advanced microphone technology. Remote players can sign in and bet with virtual chips without disrupting the game or people seated at the table.
