There are two different ways to enjoy online games and gambling, and both have both pros and cons. The two basic ways are flash games and the option to download online casino software. Since both options provide you with access to the games, speed of play and access is usually the major but not only factor in deciding between the two.
Flash Game - Pros
Not everyone has the latest, most up-to-date computer with multi-core processors and lots of memory. In addition not everyone wants to have computer gambling software downloaded on their personal or office computer for a variety of reasons, not the least may be privacy issues for you as the individual that enjoys online gaming. If your computer is older, has little memory or space on a hard drive or is not a computer that you have control over who sees what has been downloaded a flash game may be just the perfect option.
You also don't have to worry about the time it takes to download the software. All you have to do is click on the flash or instant play button and get ready for casino action.
Flash Game - Cons
Since a flash game or web-based game is typically based on browser plugins and your internet speed, sometimes games may be very slow to load and connections can be regularly lost, leaving you in gambling limbo until you log back into the system. Graphics, sounds and additional features on games are often minimized with flash play or instant load games just to prevent issues with bandwidth and plugin problems.
Download Online Casino Games – Pros
Download online casino programs provide all the music, game and graphics in the downloaded software client, meaning that you don't have to worry about bandwidth or download speeds of your internet provider. The games tend to have more graphics, better video animations, crisper, clearer images and a generally more professional finish to the visual image. The games play faster and smoother without the hesitations sometimes noted with the online instant games. This is particularly true with the really action packed gambling games such as the turning reels on a slot machine or the automatic dealing of cards in poker or blackjack games.
Download Software – Cons
Perhaps the only drawback to taking the time to download online casino software is that initially there will be a short period of time to complete the download and install. However, this only has to happen once and you will be up and running. Downloading only from reputable online casinos is a must but staying with the well known sites means you are secure with the download and ready for some great gambling action.
