Already commonly played in places like Vegas, Atlantic City, and the Caribbean, Blackjack – Multiplayer tournaments are becoming increasingly popular in other areas too. Several industry executives and the public have taken into notice that Blackjack players are often just as enthusiastic and competitive as their poker-playing counterparts. To capitalize on this market, our multiplayer blackjack solutions provide complete solution with varation of games from quick games to multiplayer tournaments .
What some describe as potentially the biggest gaming development since the online poker craze took off a few years ago, multiplayer Blackjack has several advantages over its traditional format. Players can play with friends and people from all over the world at tables which can sometimes include up to 2-5 players (but 5-player table formats seem to be more popular). Friends, family, or gambling acquaintances can create their own tables, chat with each other. In multiplayer blackjack and blackjack tournaments, players are no longer playing against the house, instead against each other so the game is more competative and real.
Indusgaming Platform is built for high scalability, security and robustness and on distributed architecture concept. The platform provides the flexibility to start off with much less hardware and increase as you grow.
Most solutions available are built for Windows or UNIX, while Indusgaming platform is a hybrid with its game servers which requires Windows server to run on and the Database may be on Unix/Linux or on Windows. To keep the system management and administrative cost low and to reduce the headache of Unix/Linux, the servers are designed for Windows platform where as Database servers can be MSQL on Windows or Postgres on Linux which helps reduce the setup cost as Postgres is reliable and Free Database System.
The main task while developing a game server is reliability. We created a system that doesn't require the operator to worry about dependability of operation and data safety. Nevertheless, the server's hardware demands are surprisingly low, ensuring its stable functioning even on modestly powered systems. It's always possible to set up any number of game server systems, equally distributing the load for better performance. The modular server structure guarantees easy adding and modifying of system components, such as a set of games available to the user, chat channels and administrative tools.
The Administration System software allows the operator to add and modify any game table parameters, i.e. game rules, maximum number of players, bet limits, rakes etc. It's also possible to organize game tables in logical groups according to various criteria, such as game types, number of players, bonus systems, etc. The user accounts management tools are also included into the Administration System. Adding, banning, deleting, changing permissions of any user require a mere seconds. The operator can easily send a personalized message to any user or users' group, invite any player to chat at the secure private chat channel or leave a note on the personal message board.
We have removed the webbased client from our gaming platform. From research, we found that webbased client is not so popular amongst serious poker players because it requires more time to load each time unlike standalone client and because technology of webbased applets and flash is comparatively slower than standalone applications. The other main reason for removing the webbased client from our solution is the security loop holes in webbased client.. The webbased client, regardless who the developers and providers are, is usually developed in the form of Flash App or Java Applets. Surprisingly, most people are not aware that both flash and java applets first load on the viewer's/player's browser cache from where these files are accessible. And then they can be easily decompiled by reverse engineering tools available on the internet with which hackers and attackers get to know the gaming protocols and they use those protocols to do protocol level ‘DoSS' attacks and also it helps to make automated robots which helps people to exploit games and play unfair game . Indusgaming not only focuses on big clients but also the small and the medium ones so its important for us to develop such application which does not require extraordinary security management and solutions for the gaming platform safety . So, considering this combined with our research which showed not much benefit of webbased client for online poker and blackjack, we decided to discontinue our “Dual-Mode” feature.
