Italian authorities originally severely restricted online gambling. They even introduced criminal penalties for online operators who performed gambling activities without special authorization. However, this law was deemed in 2007 as its principals were not compatible with those of the European community.
Therefore, Italian authorities were obliged to change their policy towards online gambling. Nowadays, there are 60+ online casino operators in Italy. All of them were awarded a remote online gambling authorization.Concerning the online casinos and, more specifically, live dealer casinos – they must have an additional authorization from the State Monopolies Authority (AAMS). The live streaming casino platforms (Authentic Gaming, Microgaming, etc.) should be also AAMS tested and approved.
Evolution Gaming was a first Live Casino Streaming Platform that got the authorization from the AAMS. Since 2011 Evolution’s live dealer casino products are provided to Italians through local operators. There are even specific live casino products tailored for an Italian audience with Italian speaking dealers.
Online casino operators certified by AAMS
In 2011 several online casino operators were also certified by AAMS, among them are:
William Hill
Williamhill.it the domain for Italian players. Includes the live dealer casino streaming platform.
888 Holdings
Launched the authorized domain in Italy 888.it with live dealer casino games.
Bwin
Giocodigitale.it, the product of BwinParty added live dealer games powered by Evolution gaming.
Unibet
Unibet also launched authorized domain Unibet.it and added live dealer casino products streamed from Evolution Gaming Studios.
Authentic Gaming Duo Roulette from St. Vincent Casino
Authentic Gaming has live roulette tables in a popular Italian land-based casino St. Vincent. From there, they are streaming their innovative product called Duo Roulette. If you are already a 
mature roulette player, the regular one-wheel variant may no longer be exciting for you. Also, the gameplay from the land-based casino can be slower than from a live casino studio. The solution developed by Authentic Gaming allows players to place bets more quickly, either using two tables at once or switching from one table to another.
Live Roulette Duo is two roulette tables streamed from the same location – St. Vincent Casino – and merged into a single playing interface. The gaming screen is split into two screens with different betting options and commands. The betting chips are placed in the middle. Top hot/cold numbers can be found on top of the screen.
Feedback
The general user feedback on the duo roulette is rather positive. Mature players are excited about having the second wheel. However, they tend to stick to one table despite having an alternative.
