New Online Casinos Technologies
The Internet and computers is likely to be the most fast-growing technology field, thus, it is natural that poker-rooms and the casinos attempt to ride the wave and make use of new technologies which became recently available wherever it’s possible.
The first internet casinos were made in elementary HTML, but since the Java language advent as well as with flash technology spread online casinos began using these technologies. As time goes by, offline casinos have made sound and graphics better and added certainly new games. Online casinos start had become the initial important achievement in internet casino gambling along with broadband access development. Someone plays not against virtual dealer in such casinos but against just a real dealer who plays on the real equipment and the gambler may get the video record of this game course. The first game to become available online was roulette as it’s broadcasted online without any difficulty and any amount of players may stake on a table since there isn’t any necessity to make any decisions. The bets are put on a virtual table and then the actual spin is made, all the players get the same final number and receive payments that correspond to their stakes. Incidentally, if there’re a great number of players in one casino, to swindle for the casino becomes unbeneficial and nearly impossible thus the game attractiveness increases. Soon online baccarat appeared too: the gambler doesn’t make any decisions in the game course and the cards are dealt on a standard model. But in the event of blackjack, another very popular game, had emerged several difficulties. The majority of players can’t play at one table at the same time since they have to make a decision to take the card or not to take it and these decisions can be different that’s why the dealer can’t execute them at the same time. Therefore online blackjack, like the real one, is gambled by only one dealer against a small number of players at the same time. Consequently this game frequently has rather high bets.
These days, the majority of online casinos offer 3 above mentioned games, for instance, these games are offered in Playtech casinos, but now there isn’t video poker, though there’s talk about its promotion. There’s an idea to suggest players using their web-cams: every gambler will film himself for the period of game and transmit this to a server that will distribute such data amongst other gamblers. As a result a player can see the face of the opponent during the game and this can add new options, particularly for psychology experts of players. These proposals aren’t certainly realized these days, however, when it will be done the online poker will be quite like to offline poker.
Another hottest thing used in online gambling is 3D graphics. Several years ago the advent of new online casino software version, “the first 3D casino”, had been announced by Intercasino, though there were actually some static 3D players’ portraits. Since then quite a lot of casinos and a number of poker-rooms had made 3D software; there were usually totally static, pre-rendered pictures of table and people that didn’t have much in common with the “real 3D”. Although, generally, 3dimensionality in casino isn’t extremely interesting, 3D table or a dealer won’t be a revolution, although 3D poker effect had become rather revolutionary. PKR was the first actual 3D poker room: it was opened a year ago and despite this short term it became one of the leaders according to visiting statistics (over 5000 gamblers at a time, though some play for fun), even in spite of Americans absence and option of an only table game. There is the option at PKR to look at the game table from some different views and to pick the exclusive player’s appearance: there are a good deal of types of hair styles and colors, faces, clothes, shoes and accessories, that is why it’s impossible to find two similar gamblers not only at a table but in all the room. A player can obtain unique appearance and typical clothes free of charge, nevertheless dear outfit or accessories must be bought for points (that are earned quickly and easily), and any gambler can digitize his own appearance so that his/her poker avatar becomes his/her perfect copy! The gamblers don’t sit just still, they actually look at their cards (the player’s cards aren’t shown constantly, the player need to push the special button and then see them), move dibs, express emotions (a number of standard emotions from enjoyment to teasing), play tricks with the help of dibs (a small number of tricks are gratis and other must be bought for points), declare what they are doing and it’s possible to opt the accent of the player. On the whole, all gamblers agree PKR is the most realistic of all the computer rooms. Sorry to say, but you must pay for all this beauty: first, the game is a little slower than in other poker rooms, second, you will be able to play just at one table, third, the game will be resource-hungry and it will run slower on slow computer. And in conclusion we’d recommend this game only to those who owns unlimited Internet access (and online casinos, though), since it requires rather a great deal of traffic. Its installation only requires above 600 Mb, and for the period of the game the room consumes away almost 10Mb per hour.
Nobody can predict the future technology and gambling mix result; perhaps in tens of years the presence effect will be achieved, although we can currently play the real roulette with the help of video broadcast, a computer game becomes nearly real with the help of 3D graphics. All of us will wait for new exciting decisions that will make the computer game even more pleasant and convenient.
