Online casino operator Bethard and Swedish developer NetEnt have announced that they're working together to launch a new online live dealer casino, which will be dubbed Next Level Live.
The casino will be part of the Bethard brand and will allow punters to play underwater, near a volcano, and in outer space with live dealer tables. The site will offer blackjack on two tables as well as two roulette tables, one of which will also allow punters to look at live scores of football games. NetEnt has spent the last half of 2018 rapidly looking to expand their live dealer platform, which offers an experience entirely different from the standard slots and table games offered at most casinos. Live dealer games allow you to interact with a real dealer, who is webcast from a studio and helps you play out your hands. NetEnt's product has multiple camera angles, which let you look around and check out the action, including views on some of the other tables.
Speaking about the launch Bethard Casino Manager Bjornar Heggernes said, "Next Level Live allows us to have an unprecedented level of product ownership and control and the result is a live casino which is 100 percent Bethard. This authenticity means that players are getting the true and irreplaceable Bethard experience - we are sure our players will love it."
NetEnt's Henrik Fagerlund added: "Bethard is a super-ambitious brand with aggressive growth plans to match. With Next Level Live, we have jointly created a unique live casino experience that perfectly fits their personality and is guaranteed to boost engagement."

Obviously those two brands are trying to lift the Live dealer experience to a whole new level and it would be interesting what the end result would look like.
NetEnt are keen to develop that sector of their offerings as they probably realized it would become more and more popular in future and they look eager to be among the top brand in the live dealer experience.
