From cutting-edge technology in development to virtual and augmented reality, without forgetting cloud storage. And all this with maximum data security.
The new generations are interested in traditional card games. Poker is going through another golden age. Another episode shows how a card game manages to adapt to evolution to new times. Poker is now a hot topic on all online platforms and has thousands of followers. One of the reasons for this success? Technology.
The history of poker
The origin of poker can be found in Persia, back in the year 1000, where a similar game was played, known as “âs nas”; However, it would not be until 1850 that poker drew the foundational rules in the United States and began to be an exciting game in all areas of society. Since then, poker has been adapting to the times and capturing the attention of all generations.
Currently, this card game enjoys enormous popularity, and there are even global tournaments in the world’s most famous casinos where professionals seek to pocket a few million euros.
But also, apart from this professionalization, poker continues to be a pure entertainment game.
Anyone can play poker- all you need is a network connection. So, for example, if you want to play live poker or dive into bitcoin video poker, you can. Yet, there are nuances. For example, if you want to win a few euros or beat your friends, you will need some knowledge of card combinations, better management of strategies, and control of emotions to maximize long-term rewards.
This digital transformation has allowed you to play poker in the online rooms of different platforms, in addition to being played in casinos. And this offers many advantages and benefits, especially in particular social uncertainty, a situation that has boosted its growing popularity at a digital level compared to purely face-to-face games. And also because entertainment, in general terms, has become more digital than a few generations ago.
Let’s explore the intricacies that make poker a trendy game among the new digital generations. Behind every online platform, there is a lot of work and effort of people and technologies that help to make this card game grow and support the numerous accesses of new players.
From development to virtual and augmented reality
First, it is a programming language; you can play poker online from any device, computer, tablet, or cell phone.
Poker is accessible and universal. And this involves the laborious work of designers and usability experts, so the user only has to worry about finding the best strategy and hand of cards to win the game.
Space is a technology problem. High-value servers are needed to store all the information, and not only that related to the game. And that implies the development of cloud storage, making it possible to play with anyone else, regardless of their location.
Likewise, the platforms invest in systems such as these to offer users the security of their personal and banking data.
Another technology widely used by online gambling platforms is software that studies user behavior. The objective is not to monitor the player but to know what they demand and use it more frequently to respond better to their needs. And this ties in with artificial intelligence, which is responsible for offering more personalized games through the constant analysis of data from users accessing the games.
Finally, virtual and augmented reality make online games-so, not just poker but also blackjack, roulette, etc. – make players feel like they are sitting side by side at a green carpet table.
And that’s the beauty of technology: it makes us think or do things we never thought we would achieve. For example, who would have guessed at the dawn of physical casinos that we would be able to play the same games online?
Playing against the machine
The magic of technology has brought about this remarkable popularity of poker. So much so that many companies are already developing, and there are already examples of different machines capable of playing poker like real professionals.
Another way to play poker or learn is by facing a machine with varying difficulty levels. Because this card game is complicated, it is not just choosing a number and waiting for it to come out as a winner, as in other games of chance. Instead, you must know rules, combinations, and strategies, read your opponent’s thoughts, and control and interpret your opponent’s feelings.
All these digital aspects reflect the influence of new technologies in poker. And this is only the beginning. This card game still has a long way to go in the digital sphere since it has established itself as one of the most demanded leisure options.
