Casino Software: Download vs Flash

[Christoff]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what everybody prefers playing nowadays. I've always played download casinos but the flash versions are now quicker and better than they used to be in terms of game selection and speed.

What are your preferences and why?

Thanks in advance

Flash games have come a long way, so I'd say it's pretty even. If I had to choose... probably download.

As a big video game fan, there's something about downloading the software that I like better than Flash. But Flash is faster.

I play Sloto in the Flash version most of the time, though, because you can open each game you wish to play in a new tab - when you are finished with a slot, you simply need to click on the x in the corner, and it takes you automatically to another slot - no muss, no fuss. When playing Sloto from the software, you spend countless seconds opening and closing games, which is a drag. I don't play any other softwares in flash.

The Download version is better for variety and user features, but flash is quicker as highlighted above.

Some Casino softwares like MG, will eat your bandwith to download everything it can for every casino you download. It is sometimes a resource hogging pig that ultimately ends in your reels spinning too slow or the software hanging. If the Download version was SIMPLE, with just the games and the software provider not trying to cram everything and anything they can into it - it would be my preference.

Played a flash version of RTG yesterday, first time, and was not impressed.
Slow and only a few older games, did not look very good also.

Microgaming flash plays great, but I just miss too many of my favourite games in flash, so I always end up in the downloadversion.
I also found browsing through the gameslib. in flash to be a pita.

Rival has ver good flashcasinos imo, fast, smooth and easy to use.

And recently discovered NetEnt, flash only, no download.
Really impressed, they have some great games and they run like a charm.

The only thing I miss with flash is that you cannot play the games as fullscreen as in the downloadversion.
