of 'bots' which are poker playing software disguised as human opponents, giving

claims against Internet casino poker sites. In June 2005, PartyGaming, the
parent company of the largest Internet casino poker room, went public on the
London Stock Exchange, achieving a market value in excess of $10 billion dollars
within a week of its initial public offering.
