Ua hoʻomaka wau i kēia hana mai ka hoʻomakaʻana. ʻO wau ka mea i manaʻo nuiʻia e nā kānaka e pili ana i kahiʻoihana hanaʻoihana. Ua nānā au i ka loli o nā pāʻani casino e like me nā makahiki i hala. I ka wā i maʻalahi ai nā pāʻani i ka hoʻomaka,ʻaʻohe kānalua no ka hoʻololiʻana i nā pāʻani no ka pūnaewele.

Early casino game software was only available for download. Internet speeds were not like they were today, so it sometimes took a while to get them onto your computer. Once they were installed, the games (mostly lāʻau pālau, video poker and slots) would play efficiently with only minor hiccups depending on your internet connection. For a number of years, downloading software was the only way to play casino games online.

Ma ka hoʻomaka mua o ka polokalamu 2000 o Flash e Adobe i hoʻomaka e hopu a paʻa i ka pūnaewele pūnaewele me ka poʻe malihini kipa. Ma kēia manawa ua hoʻomakaʻoe eʻike i nā'ōnaehana Flash ke kālai aku a lilo i kaulana. Ua kaulana nā kālepa Flash no ka mea hiki ke hoʻokani pololeiʻia ma ka polokalamu kele pūnaewele me kaʻole pono e kiʻi i nā polokalamu. ʻO kēia hoʻi keʻano o ka poʻe i hoʻohanaʻia me ka Apple Macintosh huahana i hikiʻole ke pāʻani i nā pāʻani pāʻani pāʻani e like me ka hapanui o ka pūnaewele no PC wale nō.

I kēlā manawa,ʻaʻole i puni nā leo'ikepuni pēlā,ʻoiai he manaʻo hoʻonani maikaʻi ia,ʻaʻole i lawa kaʻoihanaʻenehana i makemakeʻia no kēia mea i mea eʻike ai. Me nā pāʻani Flash a me ka mana e pāʻani i loko o kahi polokalamu kele pūnaewele, hiki ke hoʻohanaʻia kaʻenehana i ka wā i maʻa mua ai nā smart phones i ka māka kūʻokoʻa me ka iphone ma 2007.

Eia naʻe, me ka kaulana o ka iphone, a me ka hiki ole o ka Flash i ke kiki, ua paʻa kaʻenehana a hiki i ka hikiʻana o HTML5. I kēia manawa hiki ke holo i nā pāʻani casino a pau i nā mea hoʻohana.

I kēia manawa, hiki ke'oniʻoli i ka pāʻani i nā pāʻani poʻokela o nāʻano likeʻole i kahi āu e makemake ai.
