New Tables & People Icons in Lobby

When you use the newly updated lobby for the very first time, the tables and people would take a bit longer to load. Thereafter, the room load time will be as fast as it used to be before.
The tables/people icons help the newcomers (like former MSN Zone players) adjust to the site and understand what's going on and which table is free to join.
Some old timers have described the new tables/people icons as 'cute'.
We understand that tastes differ and tried to make the new dynamic icons as tiny and unobtrusive as possible so that they occupy the smallest possible portion of the table listings screen and so that they do not interfere with the overall lobby view.
For those who'd prefer the previous text-only view ... unfortunately there's no way to turn the new icons off. Please try and see if you can ignore them or get to like them -- after all it's about people playing at tables...

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.
