There are typically two ways to play at an online casino – through the download version of the casino or via no download/instant play casinos. Playing via download casinos requires you to download and install the casino software onto your desktop. All the games are then available on that computer. When you play at no download/instant play casinos, there is no need to download software as you play directly in your web browser.

Many new online casinos South Africa offer both these options for players to choose from. We have listed a selection of some of the best no-download casinos or instant-play casinos for South African online casino players to enjoy.

Playing at No Download Casinos/instant Play Casinos

Some no download casinos/instant play casinos require Flash technology and you will need to install the Flash plugin onto your computer if it does not already have it. Other casinos may require Java to run their no-download version. There are a few online casinos that are available only in a no download instant play version and some that do not offer it at all, but these days, most online casinos offer both the download and the no download options.

To play the no download casino games in South Africa, simply register at the online casino, make a deposit into your account if you want to play for real money and then click on the game you want to play. You will be able to begin playing almost immediately.

Benefits of No Download Casinos/Instant Play Casinos

There are a number of reasons why people may choose to play at no download casinos/instant play casinos over download casinos. Playing at no download casinos/instant play casinos is simpler and less complicated. You do not need to worry about large downloads onto your computer or the hassle of installing the software. If you have an old computer with low computer memory, this may be a significant benefit.

If you are an infrequent gambler, you may also appreciate the fact that you do not need to take up memory space with the casino download. You simply register, make a deposit and begin playing. As you do not need to wait for the software to download and be installed, you can begin playing almost immediately.

To play at no download casinos/instant play casinos all you need is an Internet connection. This means that you are not limited to playing at one computer but can move around, giving you more flexibility and options. As a Mac user, you may have found your casino gambling options quite limited a few years ago, but now that no download casinos/instant play casinos have become more common, you are able to enjoy the same top online casinos as those playing on PC.

Players will have access to all bonuses, promotions and tournaments via the no download version of the casino.

Disadvantages of No Download Casinos/Instant Play Casino SA

The disadvantages of no download casinos/instant play casinos are fewer than they used to be. There was a time when no download casino/instant play casinos offered significantly fewer games than their download counterpart. In addition, the graphics and sounds offered were noticeably inferior. Today, the difference between the quality of the casinos is far smaller and players can enjoy a high-quality gaming experience at the no download casino as well.

Some players prefer to download and install the casino software, which gives them access to all the games at the casino. When you play in the no download version, you need to access each game independently. If you want to play a wide range of games, you may find downloading the casino a more appropriate option.
