| Web-based or Download? You decide! Download vs. Web-based play When gamblers go online to visit the casinos and wish to play the games, they must either download software to the hard drive, or else play the games over the Internet without downloading. Thus, download vs. Web-based play differs slightly, since the player if downloading the software must go through a series of steps to download the software to the hard drive. As a rule, the player goes online and starts the download process by clicking on the Download button. The player will then see a dialogue box, asking the gambler where he chooses to download his software. It is best to select the Desktop to save the software. Few casinos have a file size of around “5.2 MB,” thus the downloading process may take longer on a ‘56k modem.’ The software is often compatible with Windows, Mac, and Standard PC. The software, once downloaded will often setup a Shortcut, usually on the Desktop or in the Start Menu. Once the software is on the hard drive, the gambler clicks the icon and goes through the steps of setting up an account, registering the software and providing a username and password. Overall, there is no skill involved in downloading software to hard drives. Downloading vs. Web-based play differs slightly, since the player does not download software. The gambler goes online to the casino, sets up an account, but does not have to register. If the player wishes to play for money however, then he must download the software in most instances. The casinos allow the players to play on Web-base platforms free. In other words, the gambler can play the games but they are not playing to win real cash.
