People who have visited online
casinos before may have noticed that
almost always there is an option on the
casino's website called “flash casino”.
And sometimes that same option may be
referred to as an “instant play” casino,
“no download casino” or something
similar. All and all, if you haven't
guessed it by now, in its essence, the
Flash casino is simply a version of the
internet casino, which does not require
download in order to play.
Anyone who has gambled on the
internet before would know that, when it
comes to the online casinos, the usual
path to playing them is by downloading
and installing a software on your
computer. This gambling software in turn
hosts all the pretty images, videos and
sounds associated with the casino games
offered by that particular online
casino, as well as connects to the
internet to the casino's server to get
the outcome of the games you are
wagering on. But the Flash casino is
rather different.
For whatever reason, maybe you are
not using your own computer or
gambling on a
Mac instead of a PC (we know, there is a
confusion here with Macs and Flash), one
may choose to forgo the downloading and
installing of the casino software and
start playing right away on the Flash
casino instead. The flash casino runs
directly on your browser using Adobe's
Flash plug-in, hence the name “flash
casino”, although as technology evolves,
other programming languages will be
used, such as HTML5 and in the future
the name may change to simply
no-download casino or instant-play
casino only.
So what are the benefits of the
Flash casinos? For once, you don't have
to download the casino software, which
could be quite large. If you have a slow
internet connection or one that limits
your downloads size, playing the flash
casino is a great option, since you
don't have to download the entire casino
just to play one game. You can play that
game right away by clicking on the
no-download Flash casino link, instead.
Other times a customer may not be at
their own computer and downloading the
software on someone's computer is not
only against common sense and decency,
but could lead to problems with the
internet casino itself. At such time
it's best to choose the flash casino,
should you desire to play casino games
away from your own computer. The
drawback of using the instant play
casino? The chief among them is the fact
that you won't get the full experience.
Some casinos don't have all the games on
their Flash versions, as their regular
software offers. Most of the casinos are
working hard to bring every single game
to the no-download side of the internet,
but it may take some time until your
favorite casino offers all the games on
the flash option.
At the end of the day, whether you
would chose the flash casino or opt in
for downloading the entire gambling
software, it's up to you. There are
benefits to either option and only you
can decide which one is best for the
time and scenario you are in. But it's
good to know that the Flash internet
casinos are their as an option one can
always take advantage of, when needed.
