Ladbrokes, one of the leading UK bookmakers, has announced the launch of a new live dealer service following a parnership agreement with Playtech, the online gaming provider.

In accordance with the deal, Ladbrokes will migrate to Playtech’s full range of gaming products before the 2014 FIFA World Cup which is due to take place in Brazil.

A huge range of Playtech powered live dealer games will be featured at the new Ladbrokes games section. These games include live dealer Blackjack, live dealer Baccarat, live dealer Roulette and live dealer Casino Hold’em and will be streamed from Playtech’s Latvia studio and filmed 24/7. The live dealer games are also available for iPad users to enjoy while “on the go”.

Playtech will supply Ladbrokes customers with back office systems for the product as well as customer service and promotions while Ladbrokes will make six live dealer tables available to players, including two games of roulette in the special Dual Roulette games room.

Players who sign up for the new Ladbrokes live dealer games are offered £1,200 in bonuses spread over the first three deposits made by them. New players will receive a 100% bonus up to £200 on their first deposit, a 50% bonus up to £500 on the second deposit and 125% up to £500 on the third deposit made by them.

Jim Mullen, the Managing Director of Ladbrokes Digital, said that the launch follows the delivery of the Vegas tab of casino games in July of last year, the Mobenga sports betting mobile app in December and the launch of Playtech Poker on their gaming site just prior to Christmas.
