The world of online casinos is constantly being revamped, revised and re-designed. There are some bad sites and then there are some great sites – most of which are utilizing some of the coolest new online gaming technologies available today.

One of the most interesting trends in online casino technology (that is rapidly becoming more popular) is live dealer software. Only in use through a handful of online sites, the live dealer software is exactly what its name suggests – you can play online while watching a real person deal out your cards. Many argue this approach makes players feel more comfortable gambling online and creates the feeling that you are playing at a real casino. GPS Global and LazerWager currently offer great live dealer games.

Other popular type of technology used is the 3-D casino. This technology isn't quite new (think of the game 'The Sims') but is definitely taking hold with online casinos. In a 3-D online casino environment players can actually wander around the online casino, into different rooms and interact with other 3-D players. Current casinos using this software include WinADay.com and PKR.

There is also a new offering from PokerStars.tv. This site allows players to access high quality media of poker tournaments through live webcasts, video blogs and footage of many major events. PokerStars.tv also offers TV channel line-ups, interviews, highlights and expert commentary from some of the top Poker pro's on the circuit. Visitors can also access archives and tagged clips by using their search feature.

All in all, there are some great online casinos ahead of the pack when it comes to leading environments and entertainment for its players.
