Okay, I concede, this has nothing to do with Queen, and it certainly isn't a report on the latest heroic movements of Flash Gordon, but a quick message to all online fans - you can now play poker on William Hill without actually downloading any software! Yep, from now on, if you want to play on Will Hill, then all you have to do is click on the Instant-Play poker link on the site. It's as easy as that.
Of course, there are plenty of benefits of playing through flash. Not only do you not have to wait for a download to... well, download, but it also means that players can hit the Will Hill Tables and play poker in an Internet Browser on any PC or Mac. Just picture those dudes in the PC and Mac adverts - well, now they're probably shaking hands.
In addition, this new advancement will allow you to play on computers where you do not have the admin rights to install software, like an Internet cafe, when using someone else's computer or, when I was a nipper, at college or university (but don't tell anyone I advised you to do that).
Finally, and here comes the science bit, flash uses vector graphics which provide the full graphical richness of the download poker software, without a bulky download. With vector graphics you also have the ability to resize the poker table to any size you like - you can even play on a poker table the full size of your monitor without any degradation in graphics or quality.
So, what are you waiting for? Boot up the ol' Will Hill, test out the Flash version and see what it's like. Good luck! It's just a shame it won't make me any better at poker.
