Poker is one of the strengths of the sector ofonline games, which in Italycounts about one million and a half players, 30 millions tournaments and 70licensed websites. In just one year, from 2008 to 2009, the expense of Italiansin online games and sport betting has doubled, and the estimate for 2010 showsthat these numbers will probably increase. It is no coincidence that, whileonline games and bets have increased, there has been a significant decline inthe attendance at casinos: in 2009 the games in the Italian casinos havedecreased by 5% with reference to 2008, meaning that the traditional methods ofplaying have given way to their new descendants, and that the green table hasleft space for the computer screen. We must also consider that poker is not theonly gamble to have moved to the web: also the roulette and many other games are nowavailable online.Not only poker and gambles: ininternet there is space for all types of games. Just think of a board game thatyou used to love as a child, dredge up from your past that box with worn edgescontaining dice, game pieces and board. It is very likely that you find theonline version of the game just surfing the internet. An example? Risk, a cultgame of the recent past, which has now landed on new shores, on IT shores: a big jump for a board game thatwas born in the fifties of an idea by French Albert Lamorisse. Now theparticipants in the game do not need to meet around a table to challenge eachother, they can do so online, staying at their place. Many other board gamesthat are well-known all over the world have now an online version, for exampleTrivial Pursuit and Bingo, which in Italy in called tombola. In Italytombola is considered as an old game, to be played with grandparents, unclesand aunts on Christmas Eve, using beans to cover the numbers that have beenbrawn, but now this conception of game has definitely changed!Poker and board games are onlysome examples that illustrate the phenomenon of online games, but these twoexamples let us clearly understand that the conception of game has changed alot recently, becoming something virtual and computerized, which is veryconsistent with the time we are living in.
