🌟Are gambling sites screwed? Adobe dropping flash support.🌟

[SparkedDev]

Those of you who know flash has slowly been dying since the non stop exploits have been found.
They finally decided to drop and stop supporting with more updates to flash, I'm not aware of anyone who might take it over.

Many over the years just kept poring money into flash based games and now all that money is going down the drain.
As a developer i see this as a huge money maker with the 10's of thousands of gambling sites that rely on flash that are going to update.
I feel over half of them earn little as it is and will likely be shutting down, many being video based sites that haven't switched.


My questions is with all the gambling sites that rely on flash now that flash is no longer going to be an option.
Do you think they will pay to update to html5 based games or shutdown do to the large expense its going to cost to update?

Can you give an example of a casino/provider that do given that you know these stuff better than I do?

I am not a developer and I might be wrong but I thought that we have other ways to code things? Ways which won't require Flash.
People are saying that HTML 5 a now a "Flash replacer". Also I've heard that Flash is dying since 2014, and so far I see plenty of Flash based content everywhere.
So it might take another 2-3 years to fully switch from that standard.

Transition will purge many low margin operations like you say but its a more temporary effect.  HTML 5 will propagate again to new sites because some operators make their money providing reliable back end operations rather then wanting to deal with the front end problems.  Its probably a positive thing, flash being compromised in a big way would only damage the population base and reputations of sites

Its simple, rule of business, if you want to stay in business, move with the tide and the way its moving or else you get dropped thats for the gambling sites but for flash, if they are dropping support, some else is ready to give the support all that is needed is upgrade and boom we back in business... I dont see this as a set back especially for sites that have a large retained earnings to make the transition but for other who didn't prepare then I feel sort for them...

as a developer you would have known that people were moving away from flash usage to other similar ways of showing the content that needed flash player like using javascript and HTML5

they update it easily to a new thing independant of flash player if they have not yet done that.

but to my knowledge, since i am using Firefox and i have manually disabled flash player, i know that gambling sites that i visit run normally so they do not need flash player.

Im not a web developer but I know people in the sector and they have been talking shit about how Flash is a total mess and needs to go. I wonder how this transition will be like since tons of sites still rely on flash. Youtube will have no problem since it already runs on HTML5 but other sites will have problems. I can't be that difficult to move the site to HTML5.

Flash has been dead years ago. Just when Chrome and Firefox decided to discontinue flash support. Then even Microsoft did that. Promoting their Silverlight which also failed btw.
Gambling sites, at least the modern ones are more into HTML 5 games these days. and every innovative gambling site will not let their business model be influenced by something so bad as flash.

So yes there is still plenty of opportunities for gambling sites.

Oh yeah many have switched over the years but some just stuck in their place or still using crappy silverlight lol
