How do I start playing at Yahoocasino?
To start playing, you must first download the FREE casino software. Downloading the software to your PC, as opposed to web-based play in your browser, makes the games much quicker and more stable, since all the casino graphics and multimedia effects are already installed on your computer. Only small packets of information are transferred between your computer and our servers.

What games does Yahoocasino have?
The list is big AND constantly growing. Click here to see the complete list. Every day we are working in new concepts and developing new games. You will be notified automatically whenever a new game becomes available.
Top
How is the outcome of the games being generated?
Yahoocasino is using a very sophisticated Random Number Generator (RNG) to create a randomized outcome for each game. The odds for both real money and fun modes games are created with this random number generator. In all card-based games, like Blackjack and Baccarat, the decks of cards are shuffled prior to each hand being dealt.

What happens if I am suddenly disconnected from the Internet while I play?
Losing your Internet connection does not pose a problem when you play at Yahoocasino. We have developed a sophisticated system which protects the player in when this happens. If you get disconnected (for whatever reason) in the middle of a game, there's no need to worry. While playing Blackjack, Craps or Video Poker you will automatically be returned to the EXACT state were the game was interrupted. This allows you to continue exactly from where you left off, and you will continue playing and making game decisions as if nothing happened.
In games like Slots and Roulette, where the player does not make decisions in the game after the round had been started, you can just log-in to the casino again and see how the game had finished by clicking on the 'Game history' button.

What do I do if after placing a bet I suddenly change my mind?
In games like Blackjack, Roulette, Craps and Baccarat click on the chips that you wish to remove with your right mouse button. In Roulette you can also click on the 'Clear Bet' button to remove your entire bets from the table. In Slots and Video poker, press the 'Cash out' button to remove your coins from the machine back to your balance. If other coins remain in the machine, don't worry, they will automatically return to your balance once you exit the game.

Where can I find complete detailed instructions on the various games?

How old do I have to be to play for real money?
