  I can't get it to download, every time I hit the button to download, it takes me to another offer. 

  try downloading off another site or use another browser to download it.

  talking of maxthon3...Is there anyway to install certain flash versions on MAxthon?  I can't access a plugin page like you can do on the Chromium based browsers.  When running the game with Maxthon and checking the flash version, it seems like a real old version is being used.  Is this default and no way to change it?  

  Also, whats the lightning bolt thing all about?  (Ultra)

  I had an hour to spare this morning so I tried all the browsers I could find to see what worked best on here. I already had Adobe locked on to the 268 version. After playing a game or two and exploring the pages of WGT I found Maxthon to be the best by a country mile.It opens the pages much faster than the others and has a pleasing layout. I hope this in depth experiment helps others.

   

  How does it work with the new adobe flash player?

  I still have the 268 version and it works fine with that.

  Yup, it is built in. Which is why I laughed when the OP stated they locked their flash to .268, which has nothing to do with Maxthon running smoothly, plug-in and active X control are separate entities.  It runs the same as IE9 with 64 bit flash running active x, they also both run the same in browsers full screen mode, even same hot key F11.

  Not trying to be contradictory but I was having problems with my meter being skippier than I liked using the older Flash Version installed with Maxthon3, when I first tried it. Since it wouldn't update to the latest version of flash, I took a suggestion from the forums and back doored the latest Adobe flash version .271 into my Maxthon3. Now I have the smoothest meter I have ever had playing wgt, even in full screen mode.

  I do take into consideration that every browser will work differently on different computers so what I did may not work for everyone. 

  LOL...HDBANGER,,,I got the same chuckle with a head shake to boot...Guess she forgot to look at what version her flash is in game mode. I'll bet 2 to 1 it isn't .268 unless she back doored that one in.

  Courntney...It is really great that you are being helpful and all. I commend you for that but please get your information correct before you post. What happens with incorrect information is people try out based on your information and if it doesn't work for them then automatically it becomes something must be wrong with WGT. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, I do research before I post something to try to get the information as correct as I can. That coupled with the fact I have been dealing with computers & software since 1975, even with that guess what, I still don't know everything and rely on others for answers.
