IMPORTANT Royal Vegas Software Info

In preparation for the Royal Vegas Poker Forum Challenge, be advised that the game program WILL NOT operate properly if you are missing some key software components. I downloaded the Royal Vegas Poker client directly from their site, opened an account, and attempted to play a $5 sng. I found out too late that I couldn't place a bet!! When it came my turn to act, I had no command options on-screen from which to select. Their support responded to my email a few hours later, and I made the necessary corrections, but it cost me five bucks in the process.

Here's what you need to check for before you sit down to play Royal Vegas:

JAVA
If you are not running the Java2 platform on your computer, go to www.java.com.
On right hand side under "Get the latest in Java technology", click Java software download.
Click begin download.
When the window appears, click save.
Run application to install.
CRITICAL: After installing the new version, or if you already have it and don't need to download, run the following check to see if your Java applet is okay:
Click start.
Click run.
Type in "regsvr32 msjava.dll"
Message must come back successful. If it does not, remove the faulty Java program and reinstall.

ACTIVE X CONTROL PAD
Access www.activex.com
This will redirect you to "www.download.com".
Middle column "Most Popular Downloads".
Click "Active X Control Pad".
Click download now.
When the window appears, click save.
Run application to install.

When the Royal Vegas software is running properly, you will have pre-action boxes below the bet slide which you can click on in advance of your turn. When you turn arrives, those boxes will disappear, and your options will appear IN THE CENTER OF THE TABLE, not below the bet slide. If those options don't come up when it's your turn, you have the same Java and/or Active X problem I had. Hope this helps to save you some time, aggravation, and possible lost funds.

Also, Royal Vegas is currently hooking up new members with $10 in bonus money which can be used to buy into real money ring games and tourneys.

Does that affect the rest of the prima poker skins as well to your knowledge?

I personally never had a problem with any of them, going to make this sticky though so people see it ;]

I'm not much of a comp. buff however i got in there with little no probs so if i can do it any one can they will be all right i think thanks for the info.

I downloaded it on Sunday and my $10 was there for Monday. I played a $1 tourny and lost then played a sitngo which I won. I have yet to experience any problems.

Does the $10 just come automatically? I registered an account yesterday but still haven't gotten it. Maybe they're not still running that. I'm having a lot of trouble downloading the software though, so I have to play the flash version. When I download their software it says it's an unrecognizeable file type. I might get in contact with some of their customer service to figure it out.

I can't register to royal vegas.
Even formatted my comp and still not be able to register...

after writing all fields at registration it gives me "illegal system error" in the software window

anyone knows what can i do?

The problem may lie with thw software vendor, Royal vegas

Just give them a call or chuck them an e-mail. Make sure you have the error message on your screen or write it down.

The chances of you being the first person to report this slim are slim to none, they should have an answer

I did that, they didn't find an answer.

Same things happens at royal card club registration... like 6-7 other prima sites work fine for me, but these 2... cant register

i downloaded it and it was fine, a good site, by the way did you ask for your 5 bucks back?

They don`t support some countries that is the problem

yes I found out

so I can't play

Yeah, twice within a week with no response and no rebate. Have let it go. But I wouldn't put any money into this lemming.

woah i had the same problem really sucks, wish i had read this earlier!
