I suggest a game mode "No animation".
The flash technology proposes different graphical modes but still not enough when playing on Linux... I think Elements should give us the secondary choice between a full or a fast quality. The fast quality would avoid flip coin at the start of the game, raising lost/earned points during the game, draws, and the final slot machine at least.
Actually, when I play on Windows the game is very smooth, but when I'm playing on Linux (I tried Ubuntu 8 and 10, Sabayon, Zenwalk) I can't get back this fluidity.
Thanks
