On top of this, obviously a good Internet connection is required.
Hardware
As well as your PC or Mac, it’s also possible to play our games on your mobile device with our dedicated EmuCasino Mobile Site. Generally speaking if your PC or Mac isn’t too old, bought within the last 5 years, hasn’t got a massive amount of things running on it (this can slow down the performance) and has a good internet connection then you should be able to play on our site with no problems. As a general guide line, we recommend the below minimum system requirements, in order to play smoothly on our site:

Having the right software can be key to running our casino smoothly on your computer. Most computers will come pre-installed with the right software needed, however depending on the age of your machine you may need to upgrade to the latest version. The below versions are required to run our casino smoothly.

Internet Connectivity
As with anything online, for the best service, the quicker and more reliable your Internet connection is the faster and smoother your experience will be. The same applies with playing our casino games online. We generally recommend the below minimum connection to be able to use our site and play our games at a respectable level:
Speed- 1MB/s Download
- 512kb Upload
- Wifi
- 3G
If you’re unsure of your internet actual speed, it’s possible to use online tools to see what actual speed your internet connection is. We recommend using one of the below links, that should tell you the connectivity of your area and your specific IP. What you’ll generally find is that, although your ISP (internet service provider) will sell you a subscription that claims a set upload and download speed, in most cases this is the optimum max speed – which usually is only achievable under set ideal conditions, that include other internet users on your network at any one time, local connectivity, upload speeds of the place you’re trying to download from and a host of other variables.
Problem-Solving
From time to time when browsing any website on the internet, there are likely to be times when connectivity problems or errors may be experienced. Although very rare, these can happen at EmuCasino, so we’ve highlighted below, a few tips that can help improve your experience on the off chance you have any issues.
Hardware- Only run 1 window/program at a time
- Running multiple programs at the same time can slow down overall performance considerably
- Log out of your account, clear cache and browsing history, log in to try again
- Web browsers save local versions of pages visited to save time if you visit them again – after a while this can become a lot of information stored on your computer, removing this will often speed things up considerably
- Try a different compatible browsers
- Depending on the version and operating system, certain browsers will be quicker and more reliable – overall we recommend Chrome as a good browser for both PC and Mac
