A COMMERCIAL POKER BOT?
Robotic collusion?
Intriguing press releases from a company called Casino Robots were cropping up all over the Internet this week, punting ".....an intelligent software robot capable of consistently winning games of Texas Hold'Em Poker at popular online Poker Rooms."
Poker Robot Collusion Edition for Windows is claimed to be able automatically and simultaneously to play in up to nine of the ten seats available per game, for real money, using a strategy advocated by an unidentified nine-time World Champion of Poker. No knowledge or experience of Poker is required, the blurb claims.
"This combination of statistically sound strategy and awareness of nine of the ten hands in play inevitably results in consistent wins for the robot Poker players," the release reveals. "No knowledge or experience of Poker is required. However, if the user wishes to play in multiple seats themselves they can manually override the robot player decisions with the click of a mouse button. Users can also alter the rank of hands played, the types of table to be selected and the duration of play. The progress of each game session is displayed and updated in real-time. Poker Robot Collusion Edition also draws upon the analytical capabilities of Poker Trainer, our comprehensive Texas Hold'Em Poker odds calculator and opponent analysis tool."
Internet poker is big business, with an estimated US$180 million wagered at online Poker tables every day. Playing (or should that be 'preying') on this trend, Casino Robots claims that its software demonstrates that online Poker Rooms are unable to prevent collusion. "Whilst it may on occasion be suspected, it remains impossible to prove that collusion has occurred." the hype continues, with apparent scant regard for the evils of collusion and cheating.
This ethics-challenged provider also develops intelligent software capable of playing Blackjack, Poker and Roulette at popular online Poker Rooms and Casinos.
Initial poker player reaction has been both critical of collusion and cynical about this software.
