Computers and also the Internet probably is the most fast-growing field of technology, therefore, within the nature of things, the casinos and poker-rooms attempt to ride the ground-swell and use new technologies that became available recently wherever it’s possible.
The first online casinos have been made in simple HTML, but considering that the advent of Java language and additionally with spread of flash technology online casinos started to use these technologies. In the course of time, offline casinos have improved graphics and sound and have added new games. Creation of online casinos had become the first considerate achievement in great online casino gambling together with development of broadband access. In these casinos one plays not against computer dealer but against real dealerships playing on the real equipment and the player may receive the video record of the course of this game. Roulette had become the first online game as it is easily broadcasted online and any range of players can parlay on one table because there is no need to make any decisions.
The stakes are placed on a virtual table and from then on the real spin is made; all gamblers receive one final number and payments corresponding to their bets. Through the way, if there are a number of gamblers in one casino it becomes unprofitable and impossible for the second to swindle and that increases the attractiveness of game. Soon baccarat had become online too: the player does not make any decisions in the course of game and the cards dealing is made on a standard pattern. But in case of another popular game – blackjack had appeared some difficulties. Many players cannot simultaneously play at one table since they opt to take or not to take the card and these decisions might be different so the dealer can’t simultaneously execute them. This is exactly why online blackjack, and additionally real, is played by one dealer against just a few players simultaneously. As a result this game usually has rather high bets.
Currently, there are a variety of online casinos offering three abovementioned games (by way of example, such games tend to be offered in casinos with Playtech software), but right now there’s absolutely no video poker, although there is talk on its promotion. There is definitely an idea to propose players to use their web-cams: each player will film himself during game and transmit the data to a server that could distribute this data among other players. As a result you can see the opponent’s face through the game and that may add new options, especially for players’ psychology experts. Keep in mind, these proposals are not realized these days but once they will be realized the Internet-poker will become quite much like offline poker.
Another latest thing that is used in gambling is 3D graphics. Some years ago Intercasino had announced the creation of new edition of software – “the first 3D casino”, although, in fact there were a few static 3D portraits of players. Since that time quite many casinos and some poker-rooms had produced so-called 3D software; usually there were completely static, pre-rendered pictures of people and table which had little in common with “real 3D”. But, normally, tridimensionality in casino just isn’t very interesting – 3D table as well as a dealer will not be a revolution, however 3D effect of poker had become quite revolutionary. PKR had get to be the first real 3D poker-room: it had been opened just on over a year ago and during this short-run it had become among the leaders on visiting statistics (more than 5000 players at a time, although a number of them play for love), even despite of absence of Americans and option of one table game.
Nobody knows the future result of gambling and technology mix; maybe in certain tens of years the effect of presence will be reached, although now we can play the real roulette by means of video broadcast and 3D graphics makes a video game nearly real. We will wait for new interesting decisions that could make the game much more convenient and pleasant.
