Computers and also the Internet probably will be the most fast-growing field of technology, as such, within the nature of things, the casinos and poker-rooms try and ride the ground-swell and use new technologies that became available recently wherever it really is possible.
The first online casinos have been made in simple HTML, but since the advent of Java language and additionally with spread of flash technology online casinos started to use these technologies. Within the course of time, offline casinos have improved graphics and sound and have added new games. Creation of online casinos had get to be the first considerate achievement in online gambling as well as 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 conveniently broadcasted online and any range of players can parlay on one table because there’s no need to make any decisions.
The stakes are placed on a virtual table and there after the real spin is made; all gamblers receive one final number and payments corresponding to their bets. By the way, if there are a lot of gamblers in one casino it becomes unprofitable and extremely hard for the second to swindle and that increases the attractiveness of game. Soon baccarat had become online too: the player doesn’t make any decisions within the course of game as well as the cards dealing is made on a standard pattern. But in case of another popular game – blackjack had appeared some difficulties. Many players can not simultaneously play at one table while they elect to take or not to take the card and these decisions could possibly be different so the dealer can’t simultaneously execute them. This is exactly why online blackjack, and real, is played by one dealer against only some players simultaneously. As a result this game usually has rather high bets.
Presently, there are many of online casinos offering three abovementioned games (one example is such games are usually offered in casinos with Playtech software), but at the present time 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 information to a server that can distribute this data among other players. As a result for various see the opponent’s face during the game and that can add new options, especially for players’ psychology experts. Keep in mind, these proposals are not realized nowadays but once they will be realized the Internet-poker will become quite similar to offline poker.
Another latest thing that is utilized 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 have been a number of 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 folks and table which had little in common with “real 3D”. Still, generally, tridimensionality in good casino is not very interesting – 3D table as well as a dealer will not be a revolution, although 3D effect of poker had become quite revolutionary. PKR had become the first real 3D poker-room: it had been opened just on each 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 lot of them play for love), even despite of absence of Americans and option of one table game.
PKR offers the choice to look at the table from different views and additionally to pick the unique appearance of player, which is the case: there are a lot of types of faces, hair styles, hair colors, clothes, footwear and accessories, so it’s almost not possible to meet two similar players not just at one table but in all room. Appearance and standard clothes are possible to obtain cost-free, although expensive suit or accessories are to be purchased for points (which are collected conveniently and quickly), and the player can digitize his own face to ensure that his poker avatar is his perfect copy! The players don’t sit still – they really move dibs, look-at cards (your cards are not shown on a daily basis, it is essential to press the special button and also the player will look at them), express emotions (some standard emotions – from pleasure up to teasing), to play tricks with dibs (a number of tricks are free of charge as well as other are to be purchased for points), pronounce their actions which is possible to choose the player’s accent. On the whole, all players agree, that PKR is most realistic of all computer rooms. Unfortunately, you are going to have to pay for all that beauty: firstly, the game runs just a little bit slower than in other rooms, secondly, you can play only at one table, thirdly, the game is resource-hungry and on slow PC it runs slower. And then finally this game is recommended only to owners of unlimited Internet access (and additionally online casinos, however), since it requires quite a whole lot of traffic. Only its installation requires more than 600 Mb, and through the game the room eats away nearly 10 Mb per hour.
Nobody knows the future result of gambling and technology mix; maybe in some tens of years the effect of presence will be reached, however now we can play the real roulette by means of video broadcast and 3D graphics makes a computer game nearly real. We’ll wait for new interesting decisions that could make the game much more convenient and pleasant.
