Dunno if I'd like it. Sure, it's convenient and high hands per hour...but there's just something about holding your cards and shuffling your chips that can't be replaced.
hmm thats a reason for me not to play at this casino with the live dealer option it takes to long playing blackjack for example a match takes 2 minutes at every other site it takes maybe 10 - 15 seconds !
