Please follow these steps (to play a download casino)...

  1. Choose an online casino by clicking on their logo or 'play now' link and visit their site. (A list of all casinos featured at Casino Croupier can be found in the column to the right of this text).

    All casinos here listed at "Casino Croupier" have a safe software download, friendly 24/7 customer service, 100% Secure Transactions and they pay out their winners FAST! You have the option of playing for fun or playing for real, it’s your choice. All casinos mentioned on this site offer you some incentive to buy chips for the first time. Take a look at their new player offer and see if you would like to try them out. If not, come back to our site and click on another casino until you find the one that is right for you.

  2. You will now need to download your choosen Casino's software onto your computer. There will be a "Download" or "Download Now" button on the homepage of their site. If they ask for your email address prior to downloading do not worry, these casinos will respect your privacy. Simply put your email address in the box and click the "Download" button. If they don't ask for your email address, just click the button.

  3. Once the software is downloaded you should have a new icon on your computer's desktop. Double click on that icon and the installation of the software should begin. Once the software is installed you will have a the casinos icon on your desktop. Any time you want to enter the casino you will just need to go online and then double click on the casino icon and the casino will start up.

  4. Now your software has been downloaded and installed. You only have a few minor steps left. You must open the casino, register an account, purchase chips, (if your playing for Real), and then you can start winning!

  5. If you have not done so already, click on the casino icon on your desktop to start up the online casino. When you do this a window should popup asking you to register if you do not already have an account. Fill out their registration form completely and accurately. They need this information to be correct so that they can send you your winnings! Make sure you write down the password they give you in a very safe place. Do not save the password on your computer if children use this computer. You are responsible for the gambling on this account!

  6. Once you have been assigned a username and password you are ready to log in to the casino for the first time. Once you do this, the casino may pop up a message asking if you want to buy chips. If this happens, and you only want to play for Fun, just ignore it & close the window, choose the game you want to play and enjoy the Fun. If you want to play for Real then, take them up on their offer. If they do not pop up a window asking you to buy chips, look for a button labeled "cashier", "bank", or "banking". Once in this area you can register a credit card that you can use to buy chips and most casinos also offer other ways to pay such as Neteller, FirePay, PrePaid ATM, Western Union, or bank wire. Now that you have bought chips you are ready to gamble. Have fun and Good Luck.
