Download Games vs Flash games vs HTML5 Games

Published

on

The Internet age is undergoing an evolution in development. Does this mean that everyone will have to move to new standards? Not at all. However, many believe that with the advent of HTML5, a hypertext markup language that works perfectly with JavaScript, games will no longer support Flash, and there will be no need to download games to your computer or mobile device. All three methods, whether HTML5, Flash or Download, have significant differences, which will be described.

 

Download games

 

Downloadable games are a separate branch of casino game development, which is still being followed by several developers. What’s the advantage of downloadable games? Only that you can play anywhere in the world without having to enable a VPN. With gambling becoming increasingly illegal and many sites blocked in various countries, the best option is to download the app to your mobile device or a downloadable client for your computer.

 

Flash Player games

 

That’s the name Macromedia gave to the world at the end of 1996. Its very first version, the vector editor SmartSketch for creating illustrations with a stylus, had been developed three years earlier by programmers J. Gay and R. Tatsumi. In May 1996, an improved version of the program appeared as a plug-in for the Netscape browser. It was called Future Splash Animator and allowed the creation of animation. Seven months after this event, the developers of the program were bought by Macromedia. Their product went on the market as Macromedia Flash 1.0. In 2005 Macromedia was absorbed by Adobe Systems Corporation. At the moment, Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform that provides the user with a wide range of possibilities.

 

The benefits provided by Flash:

 

  • Smooth animation that doesn’t require waiting for loading and doesn’t “eat up” traffic
  • Audio accompaniment for user actions, integrating video and audio insertion into flash movies
  • Built-in ActionScript programming language that makes flash elements highly interactive
  • Programming opportunities and videos for PC.

 

However, there are disadvantages, which for the most part outweigh the advantages:

 

  • To view flash animations in browsers, you need to install adobe flash player on your PC. Otherwise, websites with flash elements will not be displayed in full. Instead of an animated image, the visitor will see an empty field. To solve this problem, in some cases, site developers install an alternative image parallel to the SWF-file
  • Flash-based content is heavy and takes a long time to cache and is affected by the speed of the internet connection
  • Flash technology is CPU intensive and consumes a lot of RAM, which means that smooth playback of all animation elements is only guaranteed for owners of modern PC.

 

And for the developers, there are other nuances that limit the SEO opportunities, sites with Flash are completely uncomfortable for the user, are not supported by iOS and macOS operating systems, as well as sites using Flash technology, have a lower security factor. That’s why all online casino game developers have abandoned the technology, as it’s not suitable for games and websites in general.

 

Html5 games

 

It’s currently the best the web has to offer. A great advantage of this language is that now you don’t need to download cumbersome applications to your computer or install plugins with Flash players. You can run casino games without any complicated installations by simply typing the name of the casino in the address bar. On casino-howto.com, you can find many casinos you don’t need to download in order to run your favourite games and enjoy them without any extra steps. Play slots, card games, craps and more straight in the browser of your Windows or macOS computer or laptop. Or if you prefer to play on the move, for example, open the casino in the browser of your Android or iOS mobile phone and enjoy your game.
