These casinos require you
to download software. With their programs you don't need to keep a browser window open all the time. This has its advantages, because graphics load faster and game action is a smoother. What's happening in the game doesn't need a constant data exchange. This also means that you don't need a super fast connection for them. There are loads around, so make sure you have a look at our listings every now and then for the latest news.
Security is of course an issue. Players shouldn't just download and run any software they're offered. So, after you've checked your system requirements and made sure your computer can deal with what's coming, have a look at the site you're interested in. Make sure they're licensed and that their software is regularly audited by independent testing facilities. Certifications can help: Look out for the eCOGRA seal, for example.
When selecting a software platform, make sure it offers download, instant and free play versions. A good software platform will offer a wide variety of games, including slots, table games and card games. You can also play variants and live dealer games if a site has good software. As usual, stick with the quality operators and not with random sites you encounter. Security's one thing, but even once it's guaranteed, not every software comes with the same game quality.
Connection speed is usually not an issue.
If there's the option to play live dealer games, it's a very important point though, because you'll be watching the dealer via video stream. So even if your package has been running smoothly, make sure your connection can put up with the games you want to play.
