Casino Guide |
Online Casinos come in two basic formats. Download or flash. We'll discuss the benefits of both as well as the process from start to finish. On the casino website, you'll be directed to begin the download. In some instances you'll see a tool bar popup asking you to install an active x control in order to continue with the download. Click on this and you're taken to the download page which gives you step by step instructions, depending on the casino software, for complete and quick download. In most cases, you'll be asked where you want to download to, select this and click ok. Next, after the software is downloaded, you need to install. You'll see a series of windows asking you questions about your installation preferences. On the first window it'll ask whether to open or save the file. I choose to save it, a lot of casinos will suggest that you 'open' the file. It's all complete in a manner of minutes depending of course on your internet connection speed. When you've installed the casino, it will open automatically and you'll begin the registration process. You'll be able to choose whether to register a guest account or real account. I always register a guest account first because I enjoy playing in this mode when I don't want to gamble with real money, and it gives me a chance to play the new games and get a feel for them before I deposit. Also, if you don't register a guest account first, you'll need to contact customer support to set one up for you, in some cases. Microgaming Casinos do it this way but RTG and Playtech allow you to switch from guest mode to real player mode when you login. Flash casinos follow the same protocol when it comes to registering your casino account. The main difference between the download version and the flash version is that in the flash version you are playing from inside your browser. Registering your casino account requires that you enter some of your personal information. This will vary somewhat from casino to casino. You're required to give your name, address, phone number, email address, verify that you are of age to play for real in the casino, and asked to choose a password. Finally, you're given an account number and directed to the login where you can select to save your password. I always check this box because I'm the only one that plays on my computer. If you share a computer or have roommates or others in your household you may want to keep this box unchecked. Your next step will be to go to the cashier and select a method of deposit. You won't need to choose the same method every time as there are many to pick from and the same goes for making withdrawals. You're now set to begin playing. We hope these tips have helped and that you have a good time playing at the casinos we feature here. |
