Crypto Casino BetHog Launches World’s First Live Blackjack With an AI Dealer

Crypto gambling operator BetHog has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s first live blackjack game powered by an artificial intelligence dealer. The company announced the launch through its social media channels.

The new product is branded BetHog Original: AI Dealer Blackjack.

Instead of a traditional human croupier, the game is hosted by an anime-style character named Sunny. The AI dealer interacts with players in real time, adapts to their behavior, and even cracks jokes or offers tips.

BetHog co-founder Nigel Eccles said the AI dealer is “a lot more fun than 80% of the live dealers I’ve ever played with in online casinos.” Eccles added that he believes AI dealers represent the future of the industry.

BetHog was founded in 2024 by FanDuel co-founders Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones. To launch the crypto gambling project, the team raised $6 million in seed funding.
