Flash as a programming language has had its heights in the 2000s as the leading platform for developing computer and mobile apps. It had a lot of drawbacks however, especially when Apple has flat out refused to use it on their immensely popular desktop and mobile operating systems. This has created a large gap on the market for something new and improved. Lo and behold, HTML5 has arrived. The fifth iteration of the hypertext markup language is considered the best by front end programmers with a good reason – it is a uniting source for all things, including desktop and mobile apps.<\/p>\n

Mobile casino games and gambling as a whole is still very much reliant on Flash however they are already learning to adopt to what HTML5 has to offer. There is already a growing number of casino titles that are using the benefits of HTML5, and you can check some of the best online casino bonuses for 2016<\/a> here. Gaming as a whole has had a small evolution with the original introduction of HTML5, thanks to the very simple interface, use of tags and functions as well as the seamless integration for mobile use.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest and most radical improvement that HTML5 brought to the table is uniformity. With “responsive” pages and apps, developers of casino games and gaming apps do not need to worry about their product’s compatibility between devices and operating systems. With slight alterations, a casino slots game can be played on an iPhone, Android or Windows Mobile device, as well as a Macintosh, PC or even a Linux powered personal computer. This free range for coding is a blessing since you no longer have to be stranded per platform (which was the case with Flash). Google have already announced they will go fully HTML5<\/a> across all services by 2017.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

HTML5 also is also a real haven for functionality. With a native tendency to support social network platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and others, programmers can easily embed their gaming and casino titles within these platforms which can then be played on a mobile device.<\/p>\n

Still, when we are talking games we instantly think of the look and feel of the different genres and how the player interacts with the virtual environment and here HTML5 truly shines. There’s a whole string of available multimedia options that are constantly expanded and upgraded, letting you use all manner of different options for your games. You think Flash was immersive and great looking? Apps created with HTML5 load faster, do not take long to download<\/a>, take way less storage due to the excellent and compact lines of code, and also allow for some truly dazzling visuals.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, HTML5 has a firm grasp on the mobile portion of the market with a good reason – software developers and programmers praise it for its simplicity and ability to work for several platforms simultaneously. It is just a better and more optimized alternative for the creation of highly customizable and interactive gaming and gambling apps that will be easier to access, and maintain on your mobile device. Overall, this is the next big iteration in the gaming industry as a whole, and the direction gambling is already embracing for delving its top notch content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
