Computers and the Internet probably is the most fast-growing field of technology, so, in the nature of things, the casinos and poker-rooms try to ride the ground-swell and use new technologies that became available recently wherever it’s possible.
The first online casinos have been manufactured in simple HTML, but since the advent of Capuccino language as well as with spread of flash technology online casinos begun to use these technologies. In the course of time, traditional casinos have improved graphics and sound and have added new games. Advent of online casinos had get to be the first considerate achievement in online playing 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 the player may obtain the video record of the length of this game. Roulette had get to be the first mega 888 online game as it is easily broadcasted online and several players can parlay on one table because there is no need to make any decisions.
The levels they fit on a virtual table and after that the real spin is made; all bettors receive one final number and payments related to their table bets. By the way, if there are a lot of bettors in one casino it becomes unprofitable and almost impossible for the latter to swindle and that improves the attractiveness of game. Soon baccarat had become online too: you 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 because they decide to take or not to take the card and these decisions may be different so the dealer cannot simultaneously execute them. That’s why online blackjack, as well as real, is played by one dealer against only a few players simultaneously. As a result this game usually has quite high table bets.
Nowadays, there are a lot of online casinos offering three abovementioned games (for example, such games are usually offered in casinos with Playtech software), but at present there is no 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 monitor the data to a server which will distribute this data among other players. As a result one can see the adversary’s face during the game and that will add new options, for players’ mindsets experts. Of course, these recommendations are not realized nowadays but when they will be realized the Internet-poker will become quite similar to traditional poker.
Another latest thing that is used in playing is 3d graphics. Some years ago Intercasino had announced the advent of new version of software — “the first 3d casino”, although, in fact there were a few static 3d portraits of players. Consequently quite many casinos and some poker-rooms had produced so-called 3d software; usually there were completely static, pre-rendered pictures of men and women and table which had little in keeping with “real 3D”. But, in general, tridimensionality in casino is not very interesting — 3d table or even a dealer will not be a wave, though 3d effect of poker had become quite revolutionary. PKR had get to be the first real 3d poker-room: it absolutely was opened just on a year ago and during this short term it had become among the leaders on visiting statistics (more than 5000 players at a time, although some 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 as well as to pick the unique appearance of player, and this is the case: there are a lot of types of faces, hairstyles, hair colors, clothes, footwear and accessories, therefore it is almost impossible to meet two similar players not just at one table but in all room. Appearance and standard clothes are possible to obtain free of charge, though expensive suit or accessories have to be purchased for points (which are collected easily and quickly), and the player can digitize their 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 all the time, it is necessary to press the special button and the player will appear at them), express emotions (some standard emotions — from pleasure up to teasing), to play tricks with dibs (a few tricks are free of charge and other have to be purchased for points), articulate their actions and it is possible to choose the player’s accent. In general, 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 a little bit slower than in other rooms, secondly, you can play only at one table, finally, the game is resource-hungry and on slow PC it runs slower. And finally this game is recommended just to owners of unlimited Internet access (as well as online casinos, however), because it requires a great deal of traffic. Only its installation requires more than 600 Mb, and during the game the room feeds on away nearly 10 Mb hourly.
