Synchronization & verification of shots

To assure that GC pool cannot be manipulated by any individual player, every pool movement/shot (as well as all moves in other GC games) are verified not only on the individual players' computers but on the central securely firewalled server as well.
In the rare instance when the graphical calculations of ball movements on individual players' computers mismatch server calculations, the position from the trusted secure server replaces the individual position. When this happens, there can be a visual effect showing a slight correction of ball positions on the table.
The end result, however, assures full synchronization with a trusted source, as opposed to occasionally 'untrustworthy' or quirky individual players' computers.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
