In order to access an entire free online casino (as opposed to just a few games here or there) you have to be able to access the entire software.  There are two ways to do this; either download the casino so you have it saved in your computer, or play on the no-download Flash version, which runs inside your web browser.  It’s really pretty simple.

The easiest thing to do in my opinion is to just download the free online casino software onto your computer and an icon will automatically appear on your desktop so you can play easily, whenever you want.   With this option, you have the software a click away at your home computer and you can still access the casino from a different computer (without downloading) and get into your account with just your username and password.

However,  the Flash version is there for those of us who maybe need a little bit more privacy (i.e., you have a family computer and don’t want nosy kids getting into your online casino account) or maybe your main computer IS from the office or from another shared computer and you want your privacy outside the house as well as inside.  There are also those who simply prefer to go via the website, where they can access the Flash version, in order to check out the latest promotions (although I get all the promotions sent directly to my email.)  However way you choose, it’s really simply to access your favorite free online casino from virtually anywhere.

Choosing between downloading the software or using the Flash version is strictly a personal choice and it won’t have any effect on your gaming experience.  Both the download version and the Flash version require internet access.  I suppose if you want to play for fun, you don’t need internet access to do so if you have downloaded the free online casino software onto your computer.
