NEW YORK – AI blackjack dealers might be the future, but for BetHog Casino, they’re the present. The online crypto casino introduced an AI blackjack dealer named Sunny to make digital blackjack more interactive.
Sunny bridges the gap between live dealer blackjack with real people on a video feed, and digital blackjack that features a fully virtual table and cards. The AI blackjack dealer engages in conversation with players, greets new players by their display name, and even remembers hand history and player conversations with the dealer.
“This is more than just a new feature, it represents a whole new category,” says Nigel Eccles, CEO and co-founder of BetHog in a release. “AI is already transforming other industries and with this launch, it is ready to transform online casinos. Sunny is the first of a new class of dealers who is guaranteed to be witty, sharp and completely engaged in the game. This is what the future of online casinos looks like.”
BetHog Not Available In US, AI Blackjack Reach Limited
Unlike other Bitcoin blackjack sites, BetHog Casino is currently unavailable for US players. FanDuel co-founders Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones introduced the online casino in 2024, but it’s only available in a handful of countries at this time.
BetHog fully embraces the crypto mentality with 10 different accepted cryptocurrencies, but the outreach of their AI blackjack technology is limited. Meanwhile, Ignition Casino accepts crypto deposits for online blackjack from 45 US states through Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more popular cryptocurrencies.
