America Online Users Information

Customers using AOL tend to have a lot of problems playing javacript games since AOL browsers do not support javacript-based games very well. The games will not completely load or will crash a lot. We highly recommend that you use Internet Explorer or Netscape when you play our casino games. You can sign on using AOL, but you must use another browser to surf the web. If you have Windows on your computer, you will have Explorer already installed. If you need further instructions, please let us know and we would be happy to assist you. If you have IE installed but need more instructions:

  1. Logon to AOL as you usually do, minimize AOL after connecting.
  2. Double click on the IE icon on your desktop (it looks like a blue "e").
  3. In IE, in the field called Address, type in the casino's website www.magicpalacecasino.com and click Enter on your keyboard.
  4. Login to your casino account and have fun.

For users that don't have IE or Netscape installed: If you access the Internet via AOL and are experiencing difficulty playing our games then the following information will provide you with a solution.

The problem presents itself if you are using the default AOL 3.0 browser to access our game pages. The AOL 3.0 browser download provides a stripped-down version of its browser, which makes it incapable of handling the Java technology we are using. You can improve this by either installing the Microsoft Virtual Java Machine or downloading a full version of either Netscape 4.5 or Internet Explorer 5. Links to all three are just below. The Virtual Java Machine will resolve a lot of problems you may be having on the internet. It is a recent release by Microsoft and designed to fix a problem with their current ability to support Java. Microsoft VJM - DOWNLOAD NOW!!
