What do I do if the game loads but then closes immediately?
I just want to play a casino game on Wikipedia, but when I load it, it immediately closes. Is anyone else experiencing this problem - or have any solutions?

I’m sorry, but you can’t play casino games on Wikipedia (that’s not what Wikipedia is for). However, if you’re referring to flash games on certain gambling wiki pages, then there could be several factors at play:
1. Browser incompatibility - try opening the page in a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Alternatively, ensure your browser is up-to-date.
2. Corrupted cache - clear your browser's cache and cookies.
3. Legacy game software - if it's an old game, it may not be compatible with your current browser version. Consider looking for a newer release of the game or verifying that it's compatible with HTML5 rather than Flash.
4. Device compatibility - attempt accessing the game from another device.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, please provide the name of the game, and we'll do our best to investigate further. It’s frustrating when a game crashes so soon after launching; I understand that.
Finally, if it loads but immediately crashes, it’s probably just a browser thing. Try using a different browser or clearing your cache. The WikiGame can rely on Flash, which is outdated, but still works with some browsers. On cell phones, update your system or use the WikiGame’s desktop version. People had the same problem and were able to solve it by changing their browser. Post back here with the outcome!
