  It looks like it will be a while before you see WGT on any i phone or i pads.Ceo Steve

  Jobs dismissed Flash as "a CPU hog," full of "security holes," and "old technology".

  It seems there is more to the buggy meter then  clearing your cache after updates or resetting your game. Flash is the culprit. Game is good, not trying to spread gloom and doom. Just the facts here. If the CEO of a company like Apple says its not a good program that should carry a little weight I would think. It just a matter of time till new tech. (html5 or others take over. So it seems if you have some patience maybe meter issues will clear up. We will see where the chips fall.

  Flash sucks.

  I've said it before and I'll say it again.   It's a minor miracle that WGT got this game to run somewhat respectably on a platform like Flash.

  I'm no fan of Apple or any of their overpriced products and drones who mindlessly buy anything they put out, but Jobs is right on Flash.

  You call it bitter, I call it like I see it.

  Cheers.

  YJ,

  See the 'Criticism' portion of this for some more info.

  Java is an alternative, you can see an example here, albeit a cheezy one....

  .... and that one sailed out of the park.

  Homerun, marioh, could not agree with you more.

  But then again, that's just my opinion.  Everyone is different and that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla.

  agreed SLASHX,

  only thing I could come with off the top of my head, lol. Microsoft's Silverlight is another up and comer, to early to tell yet what kind of advantages and disadvantages it will hold, or how competitive they will be.....I wouldn't bet against them, though
