The mobile gaming and gambling market has enormous potential and is growing at an incredible rate. It's no wonder that many operators are going mobile to get their share of the new market's spoils. There are two ways of making an up-and-running
online casino available for smartphones and tablet computers. One way is software: The casino develops an app for one or several of the mobile operating systems, and players then download and install this little program to play. The other way is a browser-based solution. The latter has already proven more popular, as a mobile site can also be Flash-based and doesn't need all that much new development done to go mobile.
The Flash-based sites are what you'll be looking at if you're a Windows Mobile user. Downloadable apps are usually available for Android and iOS only, mainly because these two systems are the most common. A Flash casino for mobile use solves this problem and makes content available in any operating system.
This sounds familiar, doesn't it? If you play casino online, you might have seen a very similar situation there.
The classic download casino has become a little old-fashioned, and Flash sites that don't require any additional software are on the rise. The simple reason for this is that instant-play sites work as fast and smoothly today as any downloaded client. Internet connections have become fast enough to support both high-quality graphic, video and audio content, and the technologies available to game developers have made it possible to produce the same quality for browser-based play as for a separate program.
The most important factor is that
browser-based casinos run independently from the operating system of the device the player works with. This is the reason why Flash is becoming more popular not only for the mobile market, but also for online gaming sites. Apple users couldn't use the old-fashioned download clients, because their operating system didn't support them. That problem is solved, as instant play sites can be accessed on any device that's got a browser.
