Computers and also the Internet probably will be the most fast-growing field of technology, for this reason, within 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 is possible.

The very first online casinos have been made in simple HTML, but since the creation 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 as well as have added new games. Creation of online casinos had end up being 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 dealers playing on the real equipment and the player may receive the video record of the course of this game. Roulette had become the first great online casino gambling 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 from then on the real spin is made; all gamblers receive one final number and payments corresponding to their bets. Through the way, if there are a lot of gamblers in one casino it becomes unprofitable and impossible for the latter to swindle and that increases the attractiveness of game. Soon baccarat had become online too: the player 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 can’t simultaneously play at one table given that they choose to take or not to take the card and these decisions could possibly be different so the dealer cannot simultaneously execute them. That is why online blackjack, and real, is played by one dealer against only some players simultaneously. As a result this game usually has quite high bets.

In recent years, there are tons of online casinos offering three abovementioned games (for instance, such games are often offered in casinos with Playtech software), but currently there is 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 your data to a server that can distribute this data among other players. As a result for a number of see the opponent’s face through the game and which will add new options, specifically for players’ psychology experts. Of course, these proposals are not realized these days but when they will be realized the Internet-poker will become quite much like offline poker.

Another latest thing which is utilized 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 were 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 have been completely static, pre-rendered pictures of individuals and table which had little in common with “real 3D”. Nevertheless, on the whole, tridimensionality in casino is not very interesting – 3D table or perhaps a dealer will not be a revolution, even though 3D effect of poker had become quite revolutionary. PKR had become the first real 3D poker-room: it had been opened just on over a 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.

Nobody knows the future result of gambling and technology mix; maybe in certain tens of years the effect of presence will be reached, even though now we can play the real roulette by means of video broadcast and 3D graphics makes a video game nearly real. We will wait for new interesting decisions which can make the game even more convenient and pleasant.
