Html 5

[LuigiXIII]

How's everyone? Haven't been in the mix with all the HTML 5 crave right now, how are developers coping the change from browser gaming Flash to HTML5? Or are they solely focused on developing for apps (iOS/gPlay)? Hm...

Hi Luigi,

There has unquestionably been a strong push toward HTML5 live games from the major live dealer games developers in the last year or so...presumably driven by iPad and other tablets growing popularity. Evolution Gaming, Playtech, NetPlay and Smart Live Gaming casinos now have Apps in App Store and/or Gplay.

Can't speak from a developer point of view ('cause I'm not one), but from a player point of view one I still don't think the HTML5 games play as well as the PC/Flash versions. Video stream is definitely inferior (to varying degrees depending on platform).

If any of the developers behind these games happen to drop by, I'd love to get their thoughts on whether (and how fast) they think HTML5 can bridge the gap to Flash in this regard?

I did read with interest a release from HoGaming claiming they're soon to roll out live dealer games for smart phones that will be playable over 3G networks.
