Downloading and Installing
How do I download my free poker software?
Look for any DOWNLOAD button to start downloading your free Royal Vegas Poker software
- you won't have any trouble finding one. Click on it to commence the download,
and save the file to your hard drive. Make sure you remember where you saved your
file - you'll need to go back there later to install the program.
What do I do once the download has finished?
You're now ready to install the Royal Vegas Poker software. Simply double-click
on the poker software "royalvegaspoker.exe" file.
Hopefully you've remembered where you saved the file you downloaded. If not, you
can easily find it using the Windows Search feature. Click on the "Start" button
at the bottom left-hand side of your screen, and select "Search" then "For Files
or Folders". You'll need a keyword to start the search - *poker* will do the trick.
Once you have found it the installation file, double-click on it and install the
software.
If you can't find it, please feel free to call us to help
you.
Can my computer handle these games? If you have Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows
2000, Windows NT or Windows XP, you're good to go.
These are the minimum requirements:
- IBM PC compatible computer
- Pentium 100 or higher
- 16 MB RAM
- 1MB Video Card
- 8-bit color SVGA (640x480) - 256 colors
- Microsoft compatible mouse
-
Standard Sound Blaster - compatible sound card (optional)
If you have these, it'll be even better:
- Pentium 233 MMX or better
- DirectX 3 or higher
- 32 Megs memory or better
- SoundBlaster compatible sound card
-
2 MB SVGA screen card capable of 16-bit color (65535 color mode)
Please note that you will not be able to play using an Apple Mac.
Registration
How do I register at the Poker room?
Once you've connected to the main poker room screen, click on "Login", and then
click on the "Register" button.
You just have to follow the instructions and enter your email and contact details.
When you're asked to enter a password, bear in mind that it's case-sensitive and
you should keep a record of it somewhere so you won't forget it.
Once this is all done, we'll give you a player account number. Keep it in a safe
place so that you won't lose it. You'll need it to log in with each time you want
to play.
We'll also ask you if you want the software to remember your password. We recommend
that you only select "Yes" if you are the only one who has access to the software
on your PC. Choose this option advisedly - if anyone else has access to your software
they can play using YOUR MONEY!
How do I get my poker alias?
Your poker alias is the name that you choose to play under. Once you have finished
registering your poker account, the alias wizard will start that allows you to choose
your alias.
If you have never opened an account at a Prima Poker room before,
you can create a new alias. Simply choose your alias when prompted to do so. Follow
the on-screen instructions and you'll be ready to play in no time at all.
If you have previously opened a poker account at another Prima Poker web site,
you will need to use the same alias, as you are only allowed one alias identity
on the Prima Poker network. You will therefore be asked for the activation code
you were given when you created the previous account. The software will then match
this up and your alias will automatically be inserted.
However: if you have lost your original activation code, simply click the "Finish"
button in the wizard and contact us to have your new account
activated, or wait a few moments and an email will be sent to you containing an
activation link. Simply click the link - your account will be activated and you'll
be ready to play. Your alias will then be associated with your Royal Vegas Poker
account.
Note: it is therefore crucial that the email address you give is a valid one.
What is the minimum amount of poker credits I can buy?
You'll need at least $20 to start playing. But, if you just feel like experimenting,
you can play as a Guest and you can have as much fun as you want with free poker
chips (Guest tables are denoted in blue text in the lobby).
Logging In
How do I get connected?
First of all, you need to be online. Then it's just like opening a regular program
file. The one way is to go to the "Start" button in Windows, select "Programs",
choose "Royal Vegas Poker", and click "Play Poker!".
Otherwise you will have a Royal Vegas Poker shortcut that was placed on your desktop
during the installation process - double-click that and you'll be connected to the
Royal Vegas poker room.
How do I log in to the poker room?
Go through the process to run the poker software and connect to the poker room,
as explained in "Downloading and Installing"
above. Once you can see the poker room screen, click the "Login" button. The login
dialogue box will appear - enter your account number and password. If you haven't
registered, see "Registration" above.
What's my password/account number?
If you forget your password or account number, simply contact us and we'll help
you out. You'll need to tell us your full name, address details, telephone number,
and the first 4 and last 4 digits of any credit card number registered on your poker
account.
Remember: Your password is case sensitive, and must be entered in the same way each
time.
What if I can't log in?
If you can't connect, and your login details are right, you'll probably find that
you have a slow connection to your Internet Service Provider at the time you're
trying to log in. The best thing to do is to disconnect completely and go back in
again. If this doesn't fix it, contact our customer service team.
How do I join a table to play?
To play Royal Vegas Poker games, you must have enough poker credits to place an
ante or a blind bet, and a bet.
To play a game of poker, do the following:
- Select the type of poker that you want to play from the tabs at the top of the poker
room lobby. You will see a list of all the tables for that poker type.
- To join a table, either double-click the table in the list, or click it once and
then click the "i" button. This will take you to the table.
- Click the "Seat Available" text next to the seat you wish to take. The "Buy In"
dialog box is displayed.
- Select the amount you want to take to the table.
- Click the OK button. You have now joined the table. You are prompted the options
that are available to you.
-
Click the appropriate action box to perform your game moves.
