Computers as well as the Internet probably will be the most fast-growing field of technology, as such, in 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 very first online casinos are already made in simple HTML, but since the advent of Java language and also 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 end up being the first considerate achievement in online gambling together with development of broadband access. In these casinos one plays not against computer dealer but against real dealers playing on the real equipment and also the player may receive the video record of the course of this game. Roulette had end up being the first online game since it is effortlessly broadcasted online and any number 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. By the way, if there are plenty of gamblers in one casino it becomes unprofitable and nearly impossible for the latter to swindle and that increases the attractiveness of game. Soon baccarat had become online too: the player doesn’t make any decisions in 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 given that they choose to take or not to take the card and these decisions may be different so the dealer can not simultaneously execute them. This is why online blackjack, and additionally real, is played by one dealer against only a few players simultaneously. As a result this game usually has quite high bets.

Nowadays, there are a variety of online casinos offering three abovementioned games (by way of example, such games are often offered in casinos with Playtech software), but right now there isn’t any video poker, although there is talk on its promotion. There is an idea to propose players to use their web-cams: each player will film himself during game and transmit your data to a server which can distribute this data among other players. As a result for a number of see the opponent’s face through the game and that may add new options, especially for players’ psychology experts. Remember, 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 which is employed in gambling is 3D graphics. Some years ago Intercasino had announced the advent of new edition of software – “the first 3D casino”, although, in fact there were several 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”. Nonetheless, generally, tridimensionality in casino isn’t very interesting – 3D table and even a dealer will not be a revolution, although 3D effect of poker had become quite revolutionary. PKR had end up being the first real 3D poker-room: it had been opened just on annually 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.

PKR offers the option to look-at the table from different views and also to pick the unique appearance of player, and this is the case: there are tons of types of faces, hair styles, hair colors, clothes, footwear and accessories, so it really is extremely difficult to meet two similar players not only at one table but in all room. Appearance and standard clothes are possible to get cost-free, however expensive suit or accessories are to be purchased for points (that are collected quickly and quickly), as well as the player can digitize his own face so that his poker avatar is his perfect copy! The players do not sit still – they really move dibs, look-at cards (your cards are not shown everyday, it is essential to press the special button as well as the player will look at them), express emotions (some standard emotions – from pleasure up to teasing), to play tricks with dibs (several tricks are free of charge and other are to be purchased for points), pronounce their actions and it’s possible to pick the player’s accent. Generally speaking, all players agree, that PKR is most realistic of all computer rooms. Unfortunately, you’ll have to pay for all that beauty: firstly, the game runs just a little bit slower than in other rooms, secondly, you may play only at one table, thirdly, the game is resource-hungry as well as on slow PC it runs slower. And finally this game is recommended only to owners of unlimited Internet access (as well as online casinos, however), since it requires quite a lot of traffic. Only its installation requires more than 600 Mb, and throughout the game the room eats away nearly 10 Mb hourly.

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 will wait for new content from Mit interesting decisions that may make the game even more convenient and pleasant.
