Casino Software Programs and Their Advantages

If you already have gone back and forth to live casinos, you probably have experienced the strict implementation of “no use of computers and other varied electronic facilities”, though not applicable at all casinos as there are few of them allow the use of tablets or PC notebooks while playing casino games such as roulette. However, the scenario is quite distinct at online casinos – as the environment is mainly driven by computers, thus online through world wide web making it very hard to implement restriction on the use of support programs. But what are these support programs anyway and how can it serve a good advantage to players utilizing them?



Tutoring Programs: As the name suggest, this is the kind of casino program where a newbie player will have a chance to practice the casino game and become acquainted of its rules, controls and possibilities. For instance, a Video poker program is mapped out to teach the basic strategy of the game. That said, it’ll provide prompts to the player from time to time when a player makes an unlikely decision that is way to far from the “should-be” decisions. A player can also master card counting with card counting programs available. Tutoring programs can be used for both online and live casino players.

Analytical Programs: These type of programs are basically for better understanding on the calculation of mathematical assumption, distribution and basic strategies of the game – most especially those casino games with wide array of rules and basic strategies (ex. Blackjack). To help you better understand the use of these programs, let me put it this way, you formulate a strategy, the program creates various millions of spins, and then it shows how much you lose. It is much like knowing the possible future scenario after you created your strategy. Thus a very useful tool for you if you like “never lose” strategies.

Agent Programs: These type of programs are most formally known as “Online Casino Game Helpers”. What it usually does is to provide players statistics that they need to help them better understand the current scenario at speed. It’s a no wonder then that most online casinos nowadays provide statistics making these programs less necessary. Though there are complex types of these programs that enable the recalculation of strategy depending on the current statistics of the game. Thus an automated process for card counting. But the shuffle of cards after each deal in online casinos put these programs of little use.

Auto-bots Programs: Also known as Online Casino Bots which are created to fully automate the process of playing casino games. These bots usually read the information presented on the screen and make decisions in line with set program and simulate movements like pressing the mouse button. Though the first three types of programs are quite tolerable, these particular types are restricted. It’s forbidden not because it opens up the possibility of outgaming casinos, but the possibility of washing all the bonuses flat bet day after day. For instance, the rumored $1.2 million huge gain was acquired using a bot.
