Lesson 2 - Download or No Download

Back to Lesson 1 - How To Find a Casino

This is one of the most commonly asked questions that we get, and it's one that doesn't have quite such an easy answer. You have to figure out what you want from the casino and what you want to do while you're there. These are the points that you'll need to think about when you decide to play at an online casino.

What Games Do You Want To Play

The range of games in a download casino can be huge. Some casinos offer over 200 different games and the numbers just keep on growing. Some no-download casinos don't offer the same range of games that the download versions do. The easy way to figure out what you need is to look at the details at the casino website and see what games are offered in the no-download version so you might want to play.

What Computer Will You Play On

This also takes in "Where are you going to play"? If you are always going to play at your own computer at home, or on your own laptop, then a download version will be fine because you can take it with you and you don't need to wait for the games to load every time like you would in a no-download version.

On the other hand, if you travel a lot, or don't have a computer that you use regularly, the no-download version would be the better choice because all you need to do is go to the website, and you can start playing.

There's also another group of people that really don't have a choice. Those people don't use Windows computers, they use Apple or Linux computers, and these can only use the browser-based versions that are available.

So Which Should You Choose?

The decision is totally up to you. Think about the points above and decide what you want most from the casino and which one will suit you the best. Of course, some people will have no choice but to use the no-download version, but for the rest of us, this just gives up more options for how we want to play.
