Many gambling chat rooms and news groups devoted to poker, more and more often writes with dismay about the so-called card works on the Internet jargon "bot", used by commercial gambling sites. Many players believe that a number of gambling portals thrives through special programs that can beat a player with above average abilities and much less beginners. In traditional casinos, you can always calculate the weakness of his opponent, to draw conclusions about his strategy, etc., in the virtual gaming houses, you never can be sure even that your opponent - a man and not specially created program, "podstavlennaya "For real player.

Poker pros from Canada Gautam Rao, regularly playing for big money in online poker in the Internet casino, confidently told reporters that many casino play work, only what he is not sure - how they can be stronger "live" players. If this is true, then widely distributed poker bots that can beat the average player, constitute a real threat to the entire poker industry, whose revenue by the end of this year will be over 1 billion dollars. Without creating a serious identity verification system and "humanity" of card rivals in the online casino industry, this could seriously compromise themselves. This view is the players themselves, as well as gambling activists who are interested in the further development of online gaming industry.

Some skeptics say that, given the complexity and ever-changing game strategy, the program capable of reading maps opponent with special screen scanning systems and give answers in real time, will be created, at best, through many decades. Advocates of this perspective, refer to the abundance of commercial software-aides players from which there is no good. However, all these objections have already real answer - the University of Alberta in the Canadian team to study computer poker has created a car with artificial intelligence, called "Vex Bot". This robot is able to play at his studio level in the game with two players. The new system has already been used to test the capabilities of artificial intelligence, as it will be the basis of commercial training program poker. As soon as news of the establishment of a robot was published in the press, have become the creators write about the dangers of using technology in reference to illegal gambling business.

A leading creator of "Vex Bot" Dars Billings believes that the possibility of using bots on commercial sites - approximately 50:50, but he also sure that all current programs are unlikely to move closer to its creation caused by the 10 - year of a research team of specialists .

"The strategy of poker - quite complicated, just take and write software that can beat a table of experienced players - is not trivial", - said Billings.

In his view, the main difficulty is that much information is not available in poker player, so the program must apply different strategy: it should be able to bluff, to build traps for opponents, etc. It is for these purposes in the system has been added artificial intelligence, capable not only to count the chances, but also build a logic game, to simulate the behaviour of the opponent, etc. According to the creators of "Vex Bot", its main advantage, like any other robot is the lack of emotion - he was not nervous, not experiencing fear and shame . He will remain indifferent, even in the most aggressive player.

Journalists studying the problem of poker bots, writes that it is very difficult to get the real picture because of the unwillingness of many gambling operators to answer queries on this issue. Quality programs that can track suspicious sites poker game with unusual schemes, still lacks. The representative of the company CryptoLogic, commenting on the issue, noting that some number of players suspected of using bots, was denied access to the game. Define who plays - a person or robot - sometimes simply impossible, but the company, identifying all unusual strategy, reinsurance and prefers to shield itself against possible communication with the bot.

Professional players, speaking of the proliferation of poker bots, underscore how this can be beneficial: if you have a program capable of playing simultaneously in 25 casinos, with two tables and even if you put a minimum of $ 10-20 for the game, then earn $ 1000 in hour. Participants many gambling chat contrite that computer programs have already been forever changed online poker. Skeptics are sure that poker will continue to gain popularity turnover, despite all threats from the programmers. In their view, may soon appear willing to create a lot of their own bots on the wave of hype, but all these attempts are doomed to failure.
