Real money online casino app for PC

An app (“application software”) is an additional software that works on your device without interfering with or affecting the basic functions of the device. In the past, when the desktop was the main hardware, you would have to download and installed software on your PC, with which you could then play the money games directly on the computer. Since the Internet was slow and unreliable back then, software had the advantage of being more stable and running without interruptions. But not everyone wanted to install an app on the computer. Therefore the browser-based casinos such as online casino Canada real money took over the field, where you did not have to download anything more and could simply play in the browser. When Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) opened their own stores (“App Store”), the word app became popular for software that could be downloaded to mobile phones.

For brand new real money casino operators it was difficult, to develop and manage an app in addition to the website. Further difficulties arose when both Apple and Google often didn’t allow online casino apps in their stores that could be used to play for real money. The problem was solved with the advent of Html5 and so-called progressive web apps as the new standard for browser-based games. Instead of installing software directly on the device, parts of the application are executed directly in a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox). There is a further, immense advantage: compared to the download app, the web app does not have to be adapted to the respective operating system and does not require regular software and money games updates.
