Boss Media, provider of online casino and poker software for online gambling sites, announced that it is working and new poker software which will be completely browser based. Browser based implementations of gambling software are popular by those who prefer no to download the software to their computer either because of lack of patience or for security reasons (many people do not download any executable files which are not coming from a known source).

The new poker software will be implemented using flash technology, which is currently the most popular way for building rich client applications which include vector graphics an rich sound.

Usually, flashed based versions of online casino software (no download casinos) tend to lag behind the downloadable version in terms of richness of the graphics and the number of games provided. The new flash based software from Boss Media is supposed to offer exactly the same end user experience as in the regular version.

Most casino and poker software is only available to Windows based platforms. Since Windows is the undisputed leader in home computer operating systems, virtually no offers are made to develop client software for other platforms simply because the casinos and poker rooms don’t see it as profitable. A browser based solution like the one from Boss Media, should be the answer for those who do not run Microsoft Windows but still want to enjoy online gaming. Browser based solution tend to be cross platform and are accessible to almost any platform which supports flash.
