    you want a tablet just to play those games?
    You would need the browser wouldnt you. The app doesnt do it?
    I dont play them TBH apart from the odd blast on candy crush via the CC app

    Doubt you will find any tablet that will let you play those game on the tablet (straight from the box that is).

    May be able to install a specific browser that supports flash and also install flash, even then it may not work.

    Don't know about surface tablet though
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j
  • OP, have you tried downloading the apps for all the games you like? Even if you download a browser with flash it won't be a good experience. I've tried it and it's not enjoyable. Most of the popular ones can be found on the playstore.

    Black Paw, as you've been advised, most of these Facebook games run on Adobe Flash.
    If you want to check, on a computer, right click inside the game, and you'll see a 'Flash' menu (with about Adobe Flash at the bottom), rather than the Browser's menu.
    iOS never allowed Adobe Flash.
    Android did have it, but it's no longer supported or updated. You can install it, and run it inside Firefox and other browsers. As neilwoods says, experience may be rubbish. The games will be expecting mouse inputs. It may be laggy.
    You could, if you really want to, buy a Windows 8.1 tablet. I've got a Toshiba Encore, and it's great, and obviously runs Flash. £250 is a bit much just for playing some games though...
