Online casino software also typically doesn't accept controller input, but if you really want to use one anyway, then install something like DS4Windows or Xpadder which will let you map your controller buttons to keyboard input. Then just pretend the controller is a keyboard and hit buttons when prompted. (You'll have to decide what controls what). Some people program macros to combine betting and spinning into a single button press. It's not ideal, but if you can use a controller, more power to you. Start with free games to test it out though. Browser extensions and plugins also don't seem to support controllers, so you have to limit yourself to games where you can simply imitate button presses. Probably not the optimal strategy, but if you're insistent, you're insistent.

Yo, controller? There are no controller inputs for online casinos. They are designed for keyboard/mouse. Few sites allow them at all. What you can do is use browser plugins like JoyToKey to translate controller buttons into keystrokes. But really, that’s gonna be a pain. If you must, find some kind of retro-style gambling game, or a game/casino hybrid. Or get yourself a mouse. That’s what 90% of us are using anyway.

The problem is that most web-based casinos are designed to be played using a computer keyboard and a mouse. Some offer the ability to customize key functions within the game’s interface, and some web-based casinos will allow users to connect certain controllers, although you’re usually left to figure out how to make them work by consulting the casino’s help page. If you must play with a controller, try to map its buttons to keyboard keystrokes; many users report that this approach works.

None of the websites I've seen allows one to use the joystick/controller to play on them. This is an issue with the website itself, not a problem with this emulator. If you just absolutely MUST use a controller, I'd recommend checking out some of the online mobile casinos out there (they're touch based) or perhaps finding some casino games that have controller support on Steam. Unfortunately this emulator doesn't change this restriction. Hope this helped!

Most web casinos do not natively support gamepads, and are intended to be played using mouse/keyboard or touchscreens. Some sites such as NetEnt and Playtech may support HTML5 games which might work on gamepads (unlikely), and you can try browser add-ons such as Gamepad Mapper to map inputs. If you prefer mobile casino apps, most will support bluetooth controllers. Make sure to play at a casino site that indicates it is mobile friendly, but test individual games on your own, some slot machines have controller support, others do not.
