I am also an avid online casino gambler. Flash-based mobile apps such as “Book of Ra Demo” or “Sizzling Hot Deluxe” work well on old computers. Don’t use 3D games! Use only video poker or fruit machine style games. A Blackjack or Roulette browser-table game runs on an old computer too. Avoid HTML5 games. Play “Mega Joker” or “Cash Station” instead. Many casinos support demo mode that you can test first. Have fun, but remember that the house always wins in the end!!
Games such as “Mystery Quest” or “Keno” that operate on Flash (aka old tech) should work fine, as will most slot machines made by Microgaming and Play’n Go coded with HTML5 (no fancy graphics), try out “Book of Dead” or “Starburst” in demo mode. If your computer can’t handle demanding 3D games like “Gonzo’s Quest 3D, ” then try Free2Play or Y8 for lighter browser-based games. Test them out and let me know if you need more suggestions. Good luck!
Good old-fashioned free online HTML5 games such as Slots of Fortune, Casino War, Free Bet Blackjack and others are a good choice for this type of machine. No 3D content or high definition imagery; just straightforward gaming with no unnecessary bells and whistles. Go to the free area of Slotland or 888 Casino, for example. But choose your game carefully - keep it simple and you should be fine. Slainte!
Casino Hall doesn't require much RAM - good one. Video poker - no problem with Free version, but Book of Dead (Free Play) should work. The old playtech's classic blackjack and roulette are often available in free mode. I wouldn't recommend 3D slots, which are hungry for cycles. Flash games are more forgiving. Browser must be updated.
If your computer is not up to snuff, opt for HTML5 slots or browser-based games such as Gonzo’s Quest and Book of Dead. They tend to be less demanding on system resources. For free-play options, check out providers like Playtech or NetEnt. Skip 3D-intensive titles and memory-guzzling progressive-jackpot machines. And mobile-friendly casino websites (such as Betway and 888 Casino) also offer a great range of games you can enjoy for free.
