Computers and 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 to ride the ground-swell and use new technologies that became available recently wherever it is possible.

The first online casinos have been made in simple HTML, but considering that the advent of Java language as well as 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 also have added new games. Advent of online casinos had end up being the first considerate achievement in online gambling along 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 because 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 next the real spin is made; all gamblers receive one final number and payments corresponding to their bets. By the way, if there are many of gamblers in one casino it becomes unprofitable and almost not possible for the second to swindle and that increases the attractiveness of game. Soon baccarat had become online too: the player will not make any decisions in the course of game and also the cards dealing is made on a standard pattern. But in the event of another popular game — blackjack had appeared some difficulties. Many players can not simultaneously play at one table since they decide to take or not to take the card and these decisions could be different so the dealer can’t simultaneously execute them. That’s why online blackjack, and also real, is played by one dealer against only a few players simultaneously. As a result this game usually has rather high bets.

Presently, there are a lot of online casinos offering three abovementioned games (one example is such games are often offered in casinos with Playtech software), but right now there is absolutely 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 transmit the data to a server which will distribute this data among other players. As a result you can see the opponent’s face throughout the game and that will add new options, particularly for players’ psychology experts. Simply, 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 which is used in gambling is 3D graphics. Some years ago Intercasino had announced the creation of new version of software — «the first 3D casino», although, in fact there have been a couple 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 individuals and table which had little in common with «real 3D». Yet, generally speaking, tridimensionality in casino is not very interesting — 3D table or maybe a dealer will not be a revolution, however 3D effect of poker had become quite revolutionary. PKR had become the first real 3D poker-room: it had been 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 a lot 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 additionally to pick the unique appearance of player, and this is the case: there are a lot of types of faces, hair styles, hair colors, clothes, footwear and accessories, so it is difficult to meet two similar players not simply at one table but in all of the room. Appearance and standard clothes are possible to get totally free, although expensive suit or accessories are to be purchased for points (which are collected effortlessly and quickly), as well as the player can digitize his own face to ensure 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 on a regular basis, it truly is necessary to press the special button and the player will look at them), express emotions (some standard emotions — from pleasure up to teasing), to play tricks with dibs (a few tricks are totally free as well as other are to be purchased for points), pronounce their actions which is possible to pick the player’s accent. Generally, 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 also on slow PC it runs slower. And ultimately this game is recommended only to owners of unlimited Internet access (and also online casinos, however), because it requires quite sneak a peek at this site lot of traffic. Only its installation requires more than 600 Mb, and through the game the room eats away nearly 10 Mb every 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 can make the game even more convenient and pleasant.
