Can Real Deal Be For Real



March 2010 the new poker site opens. http://www.realdealpoker.com/
The online poker industry has failed to adequately deal with the perception of unfair games. Gioia Gaming Systems has. The unique, proprietary system, consisting of the products, Cut N' Shuffle™ and Game Check™, is the only system in the world designed to provide a fair game of poker using real decks of cards and with the ability to verify and audit each and every game result.

• Created by poker players, for poker players.
• Real Cards, real players, real poker.
• Allows players to play and cut a real deck of cards—online.
• Eliminates Random Number Generators (RNGs).
• Eliminates any outside or inside manipulation or pre-determination of cards and outcomes.
• Replicates the actions of dealers in live poker games.
• The player with the dealer button can execute a cut of the deck.
• Each and every hand is played using a single deck of cards.
• Burn cards are used, as in live games.
• Decks of cards are totally secure. Data is encrypted at multiple points with different decryption keys and no single person will have access to the data required to play and win a game.
• Procedures and functions designed to deter "Bots" from participating in our games.

Process:



• Each single deck of cards is “scrambled/washed”.
• The deck is shuffled multiple times.
• Upon completion of the shuffle cycle, the deck is "Dealt" and both a digital and video recording of the result is captured. The digital result is sent to the Deck Matrix™ for use in generating game play decks. The video capture is sent to a secured file accessible only by 3rd party auditors upon a player request for a game audit.
• A unique deck is sent to a game table and the player with the dealer button "must" exercise a Cut/No Cut option prior to the initiation of game play. This provides a "reshuffle" of the deck immediately prior to game and assures that the "players" actually determine the result of every game.

First bead beat in 2010


Jan 1st, 2010. All in preflop with pocket deuces. I was behind, but on the turn I made a flush, and for one second had a hope that in this new year maybe .... but then the board paired.  What else is new?
