The first Russian Flash Casino has been launched at http://www.casino2000.ru. The casino, based entirely on Shockwave
technology, features ten gambling games: American Roulette,
BlackJack, Bingo and Keno, Memory, Magic Caps and four kinds of slots. All the games feature MP3 music
and sound effects.
At present, gambling at Casino2000 is not
for money, but for scores.
Online gambling in Casino2000 is available both in English and Russian and the
user does not have to download and install any software.
Casino2000 claims several advantages of their Flash games over Java-based online games. They say the main
advantage over casinos using Java is that the quality of gambling does not
depend on the speed and correctness of data transfer -- the user can still keep on
gambling for five minutes when the connection is interrupted. They also say that Flash helps
to get the most of the monitor color potential -- the full range of
colors set in the user's monitor will be brought into use in the process of
gambling, the monitor resolution will be set according to user's
choice, and flash-content will be scaled appropriately without any quality
loss.
The project was conceived by "KBK group" (Russia) in collaboration with
"Hanet Internet Service" (Holland) and designed by Avesta Design
web-design studio (Moscow), http://www.avestadesign.ru.
