In August 9, Google posted a post regarding Flash and Chrome. Adobe Flash Player has played a vital role in bringing rich media content such as video and audio, gaming experience and animation on the web. It makes gaming possible on web browsers, and even bring casino such as allslotscasino.com to online platform. However, Flash has its limitations, such as its lack of support in mobile, battery hungry processing needs and so on, it's slowly phase out by major web players such as Google, Apple and Mozilla.
