No-Download Casinos Offer a Great Alternative
Most online casinos, including those that cater to the Australian trade, have a lot of games to offer their customers. Because it is a virtual environment, there are casino games of every different variety, and indeed part of that variety is being able to play those games any way they want. Almost all the casinos you could find have a suite of games that can be downloaded. The player, upon registering, has the chance to, in fact, download a piece of software, which, as it turns out, is a very large file. It is the casino itself, and the customer uses it to play all the games. It contains a menu that allows for easy navigation through all the available casino games. Also accessible within the "casino lobby" are controls that connect the customer with the support team through live chat, real-time updates on available bankroll, etc. As we said, however, it is a large file and has to be downloaded. Not everybody wants to do that. For one thing, a lot of people don't trust downloadable files for fear that they might be infected with a virus. That is, in almost all cases, paranoid, but it is the case nonetheless. Also, these files take up a lot of space, and if the customer has multiple casinos downloaded it could get cumbersome. And going back into a session and loading up that casino can take time. Somewhere along the line, operators of online casinos decided to offer an extra dimension of convenience, and that is how the concept of the no-download casino was born. It is what it says - a casino that does not have to be downloaded. Created using Flash and / or Java technology, it is accessed and played right through the browser. Obviously there are some advantages to be had. It only requires you to log into the casino web site and then you can go right to the games and play, which saves time. Also, if you are at a computer that is not your own, you may be able to play as well, because it is accessed with a browser. There is no compromise in terms of the richness of the graphics or the user-friendliness of the interface. There are some online casinos that no carry no-download games exclusively. Such is their level of popularity. The only downside is that, almost uniformly, no-download casinos do not contain as many games as their downloaded counterparts. But they are getting more robust over time, responding to demand. Microgaming's no-download casino, which services Australians, is very robust in particular, and that's good news! |
