FAQ:

How many users can the system support and what are the hardware requirements?
Our system servers effectively use the computer memory and central processor resources. On an entry level server with a processor like Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz 1Gb RAM the system will be able to support 10 000 concurrent unencrypted connections or 3000 SSL encrypted connections. Also the system can be up-scaled to several computers which will proportionally increase its performance.

Can I purchase the source code?
Yes, the source code can be purchased under special license terms.

What are the system requirements?
The servers can be deployed at Linux with 2.4+ kernel version or Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista. The system requires MySQL 4.1 and higher. For additional functionality, a web server is required with PHP support (e.g. Apache Web Server). The client software can run on Window 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista. Screen resolution should be 800 * 600 or greater.

How is security provided?
Any sensitive information is located at the servers and is not exposed to the Net. It is protected on the server level to eliminate potential threats. Client connections are SSL-encrypted.  Random Number Generator (RNG) in the system is based on system provided high security crypto functions and random hardware data. With already available protected sequence of random numbers, we additionally employ an original algorithm, to generate a random number based on several random numbers of initial order.

Tell me more about Random Number Generator
To generate random numbers we use the Mersenne Twister pseudo-random numbers algorithm.  Truly random data is used as a initialization vector. Random data initialization is done periodically which exclude any result prediction.

Are tournaments available?
Yes, the system supports various tournament types. With a scheduled start or predetermined number of players (Sit-and-Go). A tournament can be held on one or several tables. If a player is off from a multi-table tournament the system balances the players. A table with fewer players is paused to distribute the players through the remaining tables.

Can I play poker from a browser?
Yes, our system has a version made in Macromedia Flash that allows playing poker in a browser. If I need to introduce some specific rules or options what should I do? Through the lifecycle of our system, we implemented a variety of different poker rules as well as introduced many unique features. It is highly probable that all you need to do is to change settings at the server. However if still there is a need for anything like that we will be able to implement your request at additional cost.

Can I integrate poker to any existing web site of my own?
Yes, there is an option to do so. A more complete integration is supported to web sites written in PHP and ASP.Net. There are special integration modules providing access to the serverPI.

However if it is only required to read the system data then the database of the poker system can be accessed directly.
