It’s also an excellent alternative if you don’t feel comfortable having the casino software on your computer. Plus it’s perfect for many Mac users, whose computers aren’t always compatible with the downloadable versions of a casino. The minor disadvantages of using the browser-based software is that some games won’t perform as well in terms of speed and responsiveness to your controls. Also, some casinos don’t have as large a choice of games offered in Flash as the full download version.
