Casinos: A Gonzo Journalism Explanation Online
casinos, aka as virtual casinos or Internet casinos, are online versions of traditional
"brick and mortar" casinos. Online casinos enable punters to play and
test their luck on casino games via the WWW. You might say it is a rather prolific
form of online gambling, popular with Yankees, Aussies, Kiwis, The Japs, Islanders
and Europeans. Yep, basically all four corners of the world. Online
casinos generally offer odds and payback percentages that are a modest bit higher
than land-based casinos. Some
online casinos pitch higher payback percentages for slots, and some publish payout
percentage audits on their websites. Let us assume that the online casino is using
an appropriately programmed random number generator, table games like blackjack
have an established house edge. The payout percentage for these games are established
by the rules of the game. We don't want any dodgy accounting systems do we. The
majority of online casinos rent or buy their software from companies like CryptoLogic
Inc (now Amaya), International Game Technology, Microgaming, Playtech, Golden
Race and Realtime Gaming. There's always other brands that come and go, but these
are the main ones at present, as far as we know. Mind you, things move very quickly
on the web - you know its been also named 'The Matrix', in reference to the Wal
Brothers. Web-based
online casinos Web-based
online casinos are websites where users may play casino games without downloading
software to their local computer. Games are primarily represented in the browser
plugins Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave (or equivalent), or Java and require browser
support for these plugins. In addition, bandwidth is needed since all graphics,
sounds and animations are loaded through the web via the plugin. Some online casinos
also allow gameplay through a HTML interface. Apple devices such as iPod, iPad
and iPhone cannot play Flash games as the technology is not supported. Again,
subject to change, with all the bells and whistles on Apple smartphones. Hello
to our friends at Apple Headquarters! Download-based
online casinos Download-based
online casinos require the download of the software client in order to play and
bet on the casino games offered. The online casino software says G'day to the
casino service provider and handles contact without browser support. Download-based
online casinos generally run fast like a rabbit.. than web-based online casinos
since the graphics and sound programs are cached by the software client, rather
than having to be loaded from the Internet. On the other hand, the initial download
and installation of a download-based online casino client does take time. You
won't be a turtle, but you won't be a rabbit either. As is the case with any download
from the web et 'Matrix', the risk of the program containing malware exists. You
must be 'The One' or Neo, and not get blocked by the station guard or caught by
a virus spreader - the type in neo arty Arnie films - watch out for the Ex Machina
wantabees! Virtual
casino games In
a virtual casino game, the outcome of each game is dependent on the data produced
by a pseudorandom number generator aka (PRNG). This determines the order of the
cards in card games, the outcome of a dice throw, or the results produced by the
spinning of a slot or roulette wheel. PRNGs use a set of mathematical instructions
known as an algorithm (you heard that word in relation to Google friends), to
generate a long stream of numbers that give the impression of true randomness.
While this is not the same as true random number generation (computers are incapable
of this without an external input source), it provides results that satisfy all
but the most stringent requirements for true randomness. When
implemented correctly, a PRNG algorithm such as the Mersenne Twister will ensure
that the games are both fair and unpredictable. However, usually the player has
to trust that the software has not been rigged up to the hilt - to increase the
house edge, as its inner workings are invisible to the user. Australian and New
Zealand newspapers have covered this type of sandal over the years, so hopefully
all is fine with that aspect now. Properly regulated online casinos are audited
externally by independent regulators to ensure that their win percentages are
in line with the stated odds, and this can provide a degree of assurance to the
player that the games are fair, assuming the player trusts the regulator. Yep,
all we want is a fair shake. Like a fair days pay for a fair days work... enough
of the We Economy aka 'Gig Economy' already Mr Matrix, Live
dealer casino games for guys and gals In
a live casino game, a real life human dealer runs the game in real time from a
casino gaming table, which can be seen via a live streaming video link. Players
can make betting decisions via a console on their computer screen, and can communicate
with the dealer using a text chat function. No bots or Ex Machina's here... they
are real life people! The
results of the physical transactions by the dealer, such as the outcome of the
roulette wheel spin or the dealing of cards, are translated into data that can
be utilized by the software by means of optical character recognition (OCR) technology.
This enables the player to interact with the game in much the same way as they
would with a virtual casino game, except for the fact that the results are determined
by real-life actions rather than automated processes. You like the sound of Real,
Yes? These games
are a lot more expensive for websites to host than virtual games, as they involve
a heavier investment in tech and staffing. A live casino studio typically employs
one or more camerapersons, several croupiers running the various games, an information
technology manager to ensure that any technical hitches are dealt with swiftly,
and a pit boss that acts as an adjudicator in case of disputes between players
and croupiers. In
the majority of cases this requires at least a three-room setup, comprising a
live studio, a server/software room, and an analyst’s room. The configuration
of these rooms varies from casino to casino, with some having several gaming tables
in one room, and some having a single table in each room. There's eyes everywhere..
so nothing untoward should happen to players. Might even be safer than a real
casino - probably is, if you believe the news media reports punters. The
high running costs involved with operating live dealer games is the reason why
online casinos only tend to offer a handful of the most popular games in this
format, such as roulette, blackjack, sic bo, and baccarat (the fav of the late,
great, Kerry Packer... and also the James Bond character). In comparison, the
running costs associated with virtual games are very low, and it is not uncommon
for online casinos to offer hundreds of different virtual casino games to players
on their site. Online
casinos vary in their approach to the hosting of live games, with some providing
live games via their own television channel, and others offering the games exclusively
via their website. In the case of televised games, players can often use their
mobile phone or television remote controls to place bets instead of doing so via
a computer connected to the web. The most common live dealer games offered at
online casinos are baccarat, blackjack and roulette. Just pick your poison, throw
back a drink to suit, and give her Guernsey, not matter what part of the world
you are testing your luck in.
