What should I look for in a game wiki for system requirements?
I am setting up a wiki on casino games and gambling. Can you tell me what type of system requirements you would like to see for casino games so that you know whether they will work on your computer?

Start by clarifying whether your product works on Windows, Mac or Linux and which version. Provide information on memory requirements (although most casino games are relatively lightweight) and display resolution (if video streaming or other 3D elements are involved). If you have a browser-based offering specify the supported browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, and so on), and for a mobile game, what operating system versions are compatible. Specify the minimum hard disk space for desktop applications, and outline sound requirements for anyone with an older computer. Emphasize the required internet speed if you offer a live dealer game. The goal is to help players understand the minimum specifications they need to run the game without frustration; don’t make them hunt around for this information. Organize all the relevant technical details in a table that clearly delineates each specification. Be sure to update these requirements on a regular basis.
Include information on operating system, processor (CPU), memory (RAM), graphics card (GPU), and hard disk space. Requirements will be minimal for most casino games, but they should still be listed. Specify which operating systems are supported (Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS). If it’s a web-based app, specify browsers as well, and whether you support Flash. State both minimum and recommended performance specifications. Gamblers need to know whether their device can run the software with no problems. And remember to state whether an internet connection is necessary.
Include information on operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux), minimum amount of RAM required, CPU/GPU specifications, and storage space. If the games are web-based, include information about the browsers that support them and HTML5/Flash plugins. For mobile games, indicate iOS/Android versions. Also mention whether a discrete (dedicated) GPU is needed or an integrated one will suffice. Live dealer games require fast and reliable Internet connections. Be concise and present the data in a way that makes it easy for players to verify that their devices meet all the requirements.
