It is protected by a password that you select,
and after that only you can play the robot with your name.

In addition, top players are recognized on the site and by each other.
Above all it's more fun after you have registered.

Yes. 1,000,000 credits are $10.
It is a lot of fun to play with 1,000,000 credits and well worth the $10.
How does the robot work?
The robot makes decisions based on chip information, that is the stack sizes the pot size and
the betting history of the hand, and on card information.
More weight is given to card information.
At its core the robot uses two separate functions to analyze the cards,
one works on all of the cards in its hand and on the board, and the other on just the board cards.
The first function assigns a value to the robots chances, the second to the opponents,
taking in consideration the likelihood of improvement in the hands.
