Web-based
online gambling :
Web-based online casinos are websites where users may play
casino games without downloading software to the local
computer. Games are mainly represented in the browser plugins Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Shockwave, or Java and
require browser support for these plugins. Also, bandwidth
is needed since all graphics, sounds and animations are
loaded through the web via the plugin. Some online casinos
also allow gameplay through a plain HTML interface. |
Download-based
online
gambling
:
Download-based online casinos require the download of the
software client in order to play and wager on the casino
games offered. The online casino software connects to the
casino service provider and handles contact without browser
support. Download-based online casinos generally run faster
than web-based online casinos since the graphics and sound
programs are located within the software client, rather than
having to be loaded from the Internet. On the other hand,
the initial download and installation of a download-based
online casino client does take time. As with any download
from the Internet, the risk of the program containing
malware does exist.
Live-based
gambling :
Live-based casino gaming allows web players to interact with
games played in a real world casino environment. Online
players can see, hear, and interact with live dealers at
tables in casino studios worldwide.
