Live baccarat has completely reshaped online gambling and brings the real casino vibes to you, but how can these games possibly do it? Top live game providers like Evolution, SA Gaming, and Playtech are using the latest tech innovation to bring you the best gaming experience as if you’re playing in a real casino. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is one of the technologies behind the successful operation of live dealer games like Baccarat. It is the technology that connects the live dealer, the physical table, to your screen. So if you want to personally see how this tech works in action, visit one of the live baccarat tables at WClub Singapore live casino.
What Is Optical Character Recognition In Live Baccarat Games?
Optical Character Recognition is the technology that interprets physical action into digital data in real time. You can think of it as an interpreter and closely watch and read the cards as they are dealt in front of you. Then, it will instantly translate the information to your screen. This live casino technology is silently working behind the screen and acts as a bridge between the studio and you, and makes sure that what you see on the table matches the results flashed on your screen.
How Exactly Does OCR Work At SG Live Baccarat Games?
There are multiple HD cameras placed strategically in the studio to ensure that all the actions are captured… but to integrate this physical action into your screen, the game uses optical recognition technology.
Let’s say you are playing Speed Baccarat at WClub Singapore Live Casino. Then, the dealer draws two cards from the shoe and slides them face-up toward the camera. In that exact moment, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes to get that result flashing on your screen.
Real Time Capture
As the dealer pulls the cards from the shoe, there are multiple cameras recording the action on the table. One camera may zoom right on the card shoe, while another gives you a wide view of the table, and the other one gives a top view of the dealt card. Then, there are dedicated OCR software that scans the live video feed to identify and “read” the symbols on the card face.
Instant Data Conversion
After capturing the action, the software will start translating the video feed. It doesn’t see a “picture” of a card, but it recognizes what it sees. It then encodes the cards’ image into a simple digital format. Let’s say. an ”8S” for the eight of spades or “9D” for the nine of diamonds. Within milliseconds, the card that has been dealt is translated on the Player’s or Banker’s hand to a format that the casino’s game server can read.
Result Display & Integration
The coded data (8S, 9D) is sent directly to the central server. Then, the server will sync this data with the live stream, update your betting interface, as well as the game history.
So if these cards are dealt to the Player’s hand, then the current total that you’ll see on your screen will be 7. The optical recognition technology works so fast that you won’t ever recognize the slight delay between seeing the cards and your screen updating.
Live Baccarat Games Use a Special Deck Of Cards
The cards used at your favorite Live Baccarat games in Singapore are not the regular cards you play at home. They are specially designed for OCR, whereas each card has an oversized font and a unique barcode printed on it. These card designs ensure that the scanners located near the shoe can read them with 100% accuracy, even with the fast movements of the dealer. This also eliminates the possibility of a misread card by the OCR.
Wrap Up
The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is working silently behind the scenes, capturing all the physical details with exact precision and streams them to you without delay. This technology not only enhances the game speed but also creates trust and authenticity for players.
