Top five reasons to play casino games on a Netbook

June 15th, 2026

Netbook ComputerThis may be a bit of preaching to the converted here, but while playing a flash game on the Netbook recently, a few thoughts came to mind about the advantages of playing casino games on the device. And so: the top five reasons why playing on a Netbook is better than on a PC or laptop computer.

• It's convenient. Of course – this is the reason you bought the Netbook in the first place. Maybe you're a traveler or just can't work in your home all the time. For whatever reason, visiting a familiar no-download casino on your Netbook can make you feel at home wherever you are.

• Keep downloads off your devoted work computer. It's the number one reason to play on a flash casino in the first place, after all. Without downloaded files (which you can never seem to completely erase) cluttering up your hard drive, everything will run smoothly on that other machine while you enjoy your time on the Netbook.

• You can do two things at once. You know how most online bingo rooms have casino slots? Or that sportsbook websites offer blackjack and table games? This gives players something to do during breaks in bingo or football or whatever. Now, with the World Cup on for the next month, what will you do for gaming if you're going to the pub or even stuck at home? That's right: You're using your Netbook.

• Special flash casino bonuses. Yes, they are rare. But after you find one (maybe from among the pages on this website), you'll cherish it forever for sure.

• Finally, some casino games and/or software are made for the no-download format and are therefore perfect for the Netbook in a textbook case of harmonious technologies. I mean, you wouldn't use a deck of cards to play video poker, would you?

RTG progressive slots a letdown to Netbook players

June 11th, 2026

Visit Aladdin's Gold Casino Among the prime draws at any online casino are its progressive slot games. Luckily for the Netbook player, most casinos provide a no-download casino version of its major progressive slots, knowing this is all some players play. Two of RealTime Gaming's progressive jackpot slot games are offered at Aladdin's Gold Casino: Food Fight and Shopping Spree. After playing both, however, only disappointment can be reported.

While Aladdin's Gold Casino is truly one of the most impressive looking casino websites on the Internet, the treatment given to the flash versions of both these games is quite a shock. With all the care given to designing the mascots of Aladdin's Gold, its promotional pages and the music, none is in evidence in either progressive game.

Using either Google Chrome or Mozilla as a browser, Food Fight and Shopping Spree maddeningly just didn't quite fit on the screen. There is no way for either display to fit vertically on the Netbook screen and, to make matters worse, both are asymmetrically skewed to the left margin. Not only is the white space on the right side ugly, it only reminds the Netbook player how things might have been.

While actual gameplay and the reel action itself transfers well enough to the small screen, the necessity of scrolling down to see everything is strictly 20th century. In short, there's no reason at all to try these games on your Netbook – skip slots gaming altogether here and play the very good no-download table games instead.

The beautiful Aladdin's Gold Casino is a great place to play, though the no-download slots are a bit subpar. Try the two dozen table and specialty games instead on the Netbook – and be sure to take advantage of the huge 200% welcome bonus offer on every deposit over the first seven days with Aladdin's Gold.

Review: Virgin Casino made for Netbook players

June 9th, 2026

Visit Virgin CasinoOf all the online casinos that support flash versions and no-download games, perhaps none cater so much to the Netbook user as Virgin Casino. A product of the internationally known entertainment company, Virgin Casino over 100 games – all flash, meaning all games are designed with the no-download player in mind.

Since this is a no-download casino first and foremost, nearly the entire range at Virgin Casino adapts absolutely perfectly to the Netbook. On any of the online slot games or table games, the translation to the smallest screen is perhaps the best available on line: There's no need to sacrifice the least bit of graphic detail in a much-beloved game when playing Virgin on the Netbook.

In terms of games, Virgin's slot range includes several games from several top software makers and has some of the Internet's most popular titles available, including DaVinci Diamonds, Cleopatra, Bejeweled, Cluedo, the Elvis series and a few of the new Marvel Comics slot games. Beyond slots, Virgin Casino is a player's dream. They've got nine variations each of video poker, table games and even roulette! These, too, all make the transfer to the Netbook very well.

The welcome bonus at Virgin Casino is pretty straightforward, with a 100% match bonus given on all first deposits of up to £100. Reload bonuses are typically offered for one week a month and Mondays through Thursdays all have a specific promotion attached to them. Virgin is also known for its excellent "V*POINTS" comp system which rewards players with bonuses and airplane flights.

All in all, if you're a Netbook casino player, you've simply got to try Virgin Casino. But be warned: You may be spoiled for anything else afterward.

Netbooks vs. tablets: Who owns the future?

June 8th, 2026

iPad or NetbookEver since the launch of the Apple iPad, tablet PCs are getting a lot more attention. Tablets are mobile computers with touch-screen interfaces. Some, like the iPad, are specialized and only run proprietary apps, but there are also more open-ended devices out there which run on the Windows operating system and can do everything a netbook computer can do. While netbooks still seem to have a stronger hold on the market, the scales could easily tip the other way. Which device has a brighter future?

Chances are, both will exist in a few years' time. Ultimately, the difference between a tablet and a netbook boils down to one very important thing: a keyboard.

Netbooks have keyboards, but tablets do not. This means that netbooks will nearly always be favorites in terms of productivity (writing emails, creating reports, updating blogs, etc), while tablets are often better for leisure activities – mostly gaming, web browsing, multimedia, and that sort of thing.

From the point of view of online gambling, both work equally well. Keyboards are not essential tools when playing slots or blackjack or any other internet casino games. In fact, a touch screen interface can make gambling on the go easier and more enjoyable, since players interact directly with the screen rather than using a mouse.

While the future is far from certain, we believe that tablet PCs and netbooks are both strong enough to survive for many years to come – or at least until someone events a tablet with a virtual holographic keyboard!

June 7th, 2026

Set in the world of the Indian restaurant, Cash 'n' Curry carries those features so loved by those who are fans of the fruit machines of old: There are nudges and holds constantly coming up in this colorfully-rendered slot.

In here, travel your way around a board lined with bonuses, big payouts and other features, but as you eat up the goodies make sure you have enough beer. If your "coolant level" reaches zero, the bonus round is over and the rewards nil. ("Sorry, sir!" our waiter might apologetically say.)

And the best thing about Cash 'n' Curry for our purposes is that it transfers absolutely perfectly to the small screen of the Netbook. The spinning reels become conveniently centered when playing on a Netbook and once again, the superiority of Microgaming's traditional slot format shines through with no loss of graphics and no need for squinting to enjoy this slot on the smallest display.

June 4th, 2026

The game is a 5-reel bonus slot with a wild treasure hunting theme. The graphics are a little on the goofy side, with a busty jungle explorer peeking through the bushes in the background, but the payouts are definitely serious. The game has 25 paylines that take bets up to $10 each making for a hefty max bet spin, but hitting the magic combo of 5 skulls in a row makes with its 2000x payout makes it all worthwhile!

Another exciting feature of Solomon's Mines is the bonus game, which is triggered when players spin 3 or more Journal scatter symbols across the reels. Players must work their way through a mine until they come across a pair of vases. One contains a valuable gem; the other, a 2x multiplier as a consolation prize. Choose either one, it's a win-win situation!

Playing Solomon's Mines at Go Casino is a good experience. The game pops up in a new window and it fits well on a netbook screen. The text on the Rules page is hard to read, but the slot is pretty basic, so players with any experience with online gambling will be able to figure it out in no time.

They also give players one of the biggest welcome packages in the online gaming business, paying out $20,000 in deposit bonuses across the first 20 deposits all new players make.

Intel’s ‘Canoe Lake’ netbook big news for gamblers

June 2nd, 2026

Canoe Lake netbookIntel revealed a netbook yesterday that they are dubbing the 'Canoe Lake' platform. As of right now, it's just a working prototype, so don't expect to find one for purchase just yet. We're covering it here anyway because it introduces some very exciting new technological breakthroughs that are big news for online netbook gamblers.

First of all, this machine is incredibly, unbelievably thin. When closed, this netbook is just 14mm thick, barely taller than a magazine. Because it is so thin it has to cram the bigger components like the battery and the fans into the back, so the shape is a bit odd, leaving a gap between the keyboard and the monitor when it is opened. But this is a small price to pay for such a light and thin machine.

More importantly, the 'Canoe Lake' prototype is capable of displaying HD video at full 720p. This packs a lot of resolution into the machine's 10" screen, ensuring that no download casino games look sharp and clear. The prototype packs a GMA 3150 processor makes it capable of handling high-def multimedia, so online casino games will play as smooth as they would on a full desktop computer. Intel says that the retail devices will support up to 4 cores, making these little beasts very powerful.

Intel expects that machines based on the 'Canoe Lake' model will be shipping in the second half of this year. Intel wouldn't say what companies will be producing these new high-definition multimedia netbooks, but it won't be long until they start hyping this incredible next-gen netbook.
