For the best results with the SlotsVillage online games, follow these general tips:
Make sure you are using a Java enabled browser -- Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.

Screen Resolution:
Make sure your computer monitor is set to a screen area of 800x600 pixels, or larger. If your monitor will support it, we recommend a setting of 1024x768 pixels for best viewing of our Java games. For specific instructions on how to change your screen area settings, go to our Browser Instructions Page.

You may want to set your browser to "Full Screen" (Internet Explorer) or "Hide" the browser's "Toolbars" (Netscape) in order to maximize the screen area available to view the casino games. That way, you will be able to see the entire Java window area without having to scroll up or down.

Loading Time:
SlotsVillage has the FASTEST online Java games on the Net. The initial loading time for the games will vary depending on your computer's processor & modem speed and current Internet traffic.

The first time you play our casino games, it may take anywhere from 20 seconds to one minute for each game to fully load into your browser. However, once a game has been loaded, you may close it down and then return to it again later during the same Internet session. The second time you play the game, it will be pop up in just a couple of seconds because the Java client is already loaded on your computer.

Sound Effects:
Occasionally, you may notice the casino game sound effects briefly disappear, then return. Don't worry! There is nothing wrong with your computer or our online casino games. This "bug" is due to a memory management deficiency in Java. But the main point to remember is that the sound & video effects on your computer have NO IMPACT on the outcome of your bet. All bet results are recorded on our database.

For example, if you win on a slot machine and you don't HEAR the coins dropping, just check the onscreen credit display and you will SEE your winnings. You receive full credit for your win whether you hear the coins drop or not.

Browser Requirements & Tips:

To play the SlotsVillage games on your computer, you need a Java-enabled Internet browser. Your two choices are Netscape Navigator 4.0 (or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (or higher).

Some older versions of these browsers will also work, but we strongly encourage you to upgrade your browser to the latest version to get the best performance from our Java games.

You can download the latest version of these browsers for FREE by clicking either link:

Internet Explorer 6.0

Netscape 7.0

Special Instructions for AOL Users:
If you access the Internet with AOL and have trouble with our casino games, please click here for special instructions. (need content for this)

Web TV Users:
Sorry, but our Java games are not accessible via Web TV at this time.

Our casino games are designed to work on both of the browsers above, but Java programs can be finicky. If you have problems playing our Java games with one of the browsers, try switching to the other one. Sometimes that change alone will correct the problems you may be experiencing with the Java games.

You can have BOTH Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer installed on your computer at the same time. And if you have enough memory (RAM) installed in your computer, you can even RUN both browsers at the same time.

It is a good idea to install both browsers on your computer because you may find that one browser handles our online games (or other Java web sites) better than the other one.

Setting Your Monitor Display's "Screen Area":
In order to see our casino games properly on your computer monitor, you must make sure that the "Screen Area" in your Display settings are set large enough. Here is how to check your screen area settings on Windows 95/98:

-Click on the "Start" button on Windows.
-Click on "Settings."
-Then click on "Control Panel."
-Double-click on the "Display" icon (monitor).
-When the Display window opens, click on the "Settings" tab.
-Look at the "Screen Area" setting in the lower right corner of the Display window.
-Make sure the the Screen Area is set to at least 800 x 600 . If your computer will allow it, we recommend a Screen Area setting of 1024 x 768. The larger the screen area setting, the more you will be able to see on one -page.

Enabling Java on Your Browser:
If you are looking at our casino page and you see a blank screen instead of the log-in fields and casino games, your browser may not be "Java-enabled."

First, be sure you are are using the proper browser (Netscape 4.0 or higher, Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher). Then take the following steps to "enable" Java on your browser:

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer , choose "Internet Options" from the "View" menu. Then, click on the "advanced" tab and verify that the "Java JIT compiler enabled" box is checked. After you have exited "Internet Options," close all open Internet Explorer browser windows. Then restart Internet Explorer with your new settings.

If you are using Netscape , choose "preferences" from the "Edit"menu. Then, click on "advanced" and verify that the "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript" boxes are checked. After you have exited "preferences," close all open Netscape browser windows. Then restart Netscape with your new settings.
