Um, yes. DirectX error messages do occur from time to time, mainly on Windows systems, and they tend to be particularly troublesome for live dealer sites that rely on HD video streaming, while slots – which tend to be 2D – are generally OK. Occasionally it’s also the fault of the software developer (Playtech or Evolution Gaming) rather than the casino, but usually it’s an issue with the player’s configuration.

Fixing it is easy: Just look at the error message and install the required version of DirectX – first, make sure your drivers are up-to-date; if they are, run a Windows Update to install any DirectX updates that may be available. If you’re still having problems, try running the program in compatibility mode, or reducing your screen resolution.

As long as you have an accepted operating system and the system requirements are satisfied, you can just Google your specific error code for a resolution. It is usually fixed with a couple of tweaks.

DirectX errors occur more frequently on live dealer games (than on slots), as they typically stem from an outdated browser or codec. The most popular platforms, such as Evolution and Playtech, are most likely to encounter problems when browsers or drivers are not fully optimized. To fix it, check GPU drivers, update browsers, and disable hardware acceleration under settings. Downloading the latest DirectX version from Microsoft also works. Ensure that operating systems are up-to-date, and consider switching to a different browser.
