The Future of Royal Games

Hello Royal Gamers

Flash is going to disappear on December 31st 2020. It’s a difficult situation but the powers that be have decided that Flash has to go. We would love to be able to keep things running the way they were but it’s just not possible.

We are a very small crew of dedicated guys and gals that want the best for this site and for all of you that have stuck with us through thick and thin. Sadly, we have to make some changes to ensure we can keep things running and improving in 2021 and beyond.

HTML5 Games
We really wanted to convert all of the games but this has turned out to be far more complicated than we initially anticipated. So we took the hard decision to start converting the most popular games. For the beginning of 2021, the following (should) be the lineup of games moving forward.

I Love Treasure

Klondike Solitaire

Hoop de Loop

Pepper Panic

Monster Fever

Puff Fish Poppers

Beached Buddies

Gin Rummy

Princess Peony 

Ace Solitaire(2012)

Bubble Witch

Candy Crush

Papa Pear

Farm King

Release the Creeps

Diamond Digger

Stitcheroo 

Bubble Saga 

Cat Corner

Golf Solitaire

Honey Mine

Mahjong Masquerade

Kalorie King

Klicker Fusion

Pet Rescue

Performance Issues in HTML5 Games
HTML5 can be more RAM and CPU intensive than Flash, which means older systems can struggle. 

Trust me, I see everything! I hear the complaints and I am going to address them in 2021.

We are going to look at optimisation for HTML5 games in 2021. We are investigating RAM usage and aim to outline RAM requirements. This should give you all a better performance benchmark, but hopefully we can bring those requirements down in 2021. This is not going to be an overnight process however, so as per usual, I very much appreciate your patience.

Flash Games
What this means is we are going to be delisting the vast majority of our Flash games by the end of the year. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but it is our only choice. We can’t support these games if the browsers do not.

The shame is we lose a lot of classic games and no doubt some of our amazing long-term players, which is horrible. We hope you do stick around because we are always trying to think about the future and how we can improve things. My hope is that in 2021 we get to concentrate less on HTML5 (basically keeping the site alive) and more on bug fixes, improvements and new features.

Site Features
We are also porting over the Castle, Avatars, Spinners, Freeroll Spinners and all of the other little Flash Elements that make up the site. The aim is to also have this done by December 31st 2020. There is a small possibility that some elements might not be entirely finished, but we are working hard to make sure this does not happen.

Summary
So there it is! That is what is happening in its entirety. I have to reiterate, I wish we could have converted every game, but with all the will in the world it just could not happen. I know we are going to lose some of you and I completely understand. All I can say is thank you so much for being part of this site and creating one of the most unique gaming communities on the planet. I sincerely hope you do stay and that we continue to keep entertaining you for many more years to come.

  • What an informative, thought out and concise post. It is a shame that flash games will not be playing but hey ho technology moves on. Hopefully the daily free spin continues :)

  • Off topic: Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.

  • All the Word Games are going? I will definitely miss Keyword.... and Pyramid Quest.... and a lot of the Card Games...Bummer!!

  • I love treasure is listed twice. Was there a different game supposed to be listed in place of the 2nd I Love Treasure? Thanks.

  • @C-V, sorry for the typo :-/

  • @C-C, you have a point there. I've been working on some awards but I see they don't count in HTLM5 versions. That means I have to start all over? Doesn't seem to be fair as I've spent years achieving those. Effective 01/01/2020, this site ceases to exist so might as well it be renamed.

  • What about tournaments not completed in Flash formatted games. Will the fool refund all the entry fees? They should at a minimum put the funds back in our accounts. If they are unable to match us since the games are changing and the formats, do not steal our money.... refund!!!!!

  • Well it's a shame, i've enjoyed playing here since 2006, it's been a privilege and very profitable (more so in the beginning). I won't leave per say, but will change with the times,adopting the option so many of you have by using friend/family accounts,Insuring profitability well into 2021. Cheers!

  • OMA’S, birthday list 30 th October: ---- AT58 ---- JONNIGIRL02 ----QWWR ---- SILKENSROSEN ---- STEVEC2910----- Wedding anniversary: ----J8D---- Thank you so much. xxxx

  • Thanks to the players that posted sensible comments! All we can do is play what we can on the site! I'm lucky so far? I use Chrome on Windows 10 in UK & had no problems only Freddie's Fruity Friday! So we got to bare with the site at the moment! Stay safe all... ☀️ˋ‿ˊ☀️

  • Also, no mention of our diplomas, achievements etc... What happens to those? Be really gutted to lose those.

  • working versions of games like Crescendo Catcher which only stopped working because of your obsession with ActiveX controls when all browsers blocked them for security reasons, rather familiar sounding situation.

  • Why is I Love Treasure listed twice? Agree with previous comments, M Mahjong is your most played game, it has to be ported. Why must we "lose" so many games? Surely the porting can continue after December. Too many good games just can't be lost, and this is also a golden opportunity to bring back

  • I also think Midas Mahjong is a must. Sad about my favorite games gone soon :-/

  • sandwich good; game ...not so good

  • I'm having a banana sandwich then I'm gonna have a major go at scrapbook detective

  • Thank you for explaining. I'm not going to bother anymore playing the ones you are deleting, though I love many of them. If it wasn't just about GAMES, it would be heartbreaking. I'll get used to it; I'm not any good at it anyway, but it is fun.. I like playing games here, and will stay.

  • None of us got a crystal ball & can predict what will happen after 31/12/20. I keep in touch with the friends I've made here from all over the world via other! Take care everyone & stay safe that is our main priority at the moment!!! ☀️ˋ‿ˊ☀️ x

  • and by the way, copperbelly, just type in normal .....what's with al the number plate speak?

  • Thank you for updating us on all of the upcoming changes! I also vote to keep Midas Mahjong.It's my fav game.So does this mean that all of the card games listed will be available to everyone now? I had access to 5 card games when I joined King in 2008. I can only play Hearts now.Pls keep lobby games
