Server client technology
This technology is most commonly used in the last decade since the internet revolution. The advantage of server client's technology is the distribution of processes to run on the server side or on the client side. For example: graphic images that build the client application backgrounds and button images are all saved on the client side and are operated independently on each client machine so that all functionality happens on the client side. User login authentication for example, is a process that takes place on the server side and the client is just a tool that sends username and password data and receives login approved or failed messages from the server, after the server has verified player details. This is how the internal software systems architecture can build a multi-user system, maximizing the efficiency and decreasing lag time.
Client software
Client software is an application that is installed and run locally on your machine. We all think twice before we click download on any site, however this is the most commonly used design for almost every on line casino. This design was proven to be the fastest, most efficient and most secure way to give the user the best casino experience while playing on line.
Flash software
Flash technology is an internet design tool that enables high quality designs and animations on internet pages. A few on line casinos are using this technology in a non client side on line environment. This method is comparatively modern but most casinos prefer not to use it as it is heavy in relation to user application reaction time and consumes substantial system resources especially on the server side when many users are logged in. The advantage of using flash design is that it is less aggressive compared to client installation and it can support much more complicated designs and animations. Flash games run on browsers such as Internet Explorer or Fire Fox. All of the games functionality is reliant on the server side. The number of server requests and the amount of data transferred between the browser (clients) and the server is much higher and the server load increases dramatically with the number of clients that use it at the same time.

At the end of the day, it's all matter of personal preference, some people play casino games from a system other than their own personal computer so they will naturally prefer not to install any clients, like playing from a work or a shared system. Some prefer the client option, this being mostly the people who use casino often as a form of entertainment and they do it from their own personal computer the majority or all of the time.

There is a good reason why the vast majority of on line casinos do not chose to upgrade their systems to flash. One of the most important things to take into consideration is the user experience. Casinos put extra effort into duplicating to the maximum extent the off line casino experience. It is a challenge, but most casinos use advanced graphic and sound effects to maximize user experience and modern software architecture to increase the systems speed.

Most professional gamblers have experienced both options and it is a fact that the vast majority play with the client installation. If you are still in the early stages of this process, make sure that the casino from which you decide to download is reliable and well known. All big on line casinos work very hard to obtain a reliable reputation and they all know that one unhappy user is more than enough to ruin it. Read and compare casinos terms of use and other player's opinions.

Enjoy on line casino
