Blackjack Added to the 4in1 Game Lobby By Backgammon Masters

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

Developer “All-in-One Game Software” now has BlackJack!! Black jack adds to the already addictive fun of games like backgammon, poker, and perudo.

Of all the sites I have gone to and enjoyed this is the only one that allows you to play free, in an animated client. It allows you to use 10 languages. (Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, French, Japanese, Danish, Greek and German, and English). This particular provider of interactive entertainment boasts thousands of players networked at any given time. And now that they have BlackJack on the menu you can expect the number to grow exponentially.

The game itself offers high speed play, coupled with stunning visual graphics, each table holding up to 5 players. Each player can choose to create his own avatar which i had a bit of fun with. You can chat with fellow players, and even more interesting, the games possess a “view” mode, which allows other players to sit out and just watch the action!

Backgammon

Backgammon is a board game for two people in which pieces are moved based on the roll of dice. The first player to remove all of one’s own pieces from the board is said to be the winner. It is a part of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of games in the world.

Perudo

Perudo is popular dice game played in Peru, Chile, Bolivia and other South American countries. This game may be played by two or more people and, basically, is made up of guessing how many dice, under cups, there are on the table showing a certain number. The player who loses a round loses one of their dice. The last player having a die is the winner.

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the most popular casino card games in the world. Blackjack’s popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting . Blackjack’s precursor was vingt-et-un (”twenty-one”), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21.

Poker

Poker is a popular type of card game in which players gamble on having the better card combination (”hand”), by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains “in the hand” after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.

Enjoy playing Backgammon, Perudo, Poker, and Blackjack.

Dubai Tower Now the Tallest Building

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Dubai announced Saturday it now has the world’s tallest building.The Dubai Tower is 1,680 feet tall and is on schedule to be  completed a year before it was scheduled to.

The Dubai Tower interestingly is built by Sumsung, and is 141 stories tall. The developer claims that the finished building will exceed 2296 feet, and more than 160 floors. The building was designed by Adrian Smith of Chicago.

One of the Dubai Towers big competitors int he tower competiton is just 30 miles away. “Al Burj”’s size is also a secret  but the estimated height will likely be about 3,937 feet, and more than 200 stories.

Another possible competitor, would be the Murjan Tower. Its planned for Bahrain. The blueprints call for a 3,353 foot tall structure, containing 200 stories.

My comment is when is it too tall? Perhaps it stems from a fear of heights but, if i was 200 plus stories up and it got stormy… thats just damn scary. I live on the 47 th floor for a time, and i would leave every time the weather was due to go bad.
