How do I enable borderless window mode in [Game Name]?
I want to play [Game Name] in a borderless window so that I can see both the chat and my game simultaneously. Does anyone know how to do it without crashing the graphics or causing performance issues? Advice from any experienced casino gamers is welcome!

Most casino games have some form of borderless window mode, which can be a little tricky. Look for a “Windowed Mode” or “Borderless Window” option in game settings, or if none is available, open your casino software in windowed mode and press Alt+Enter when inside the game.
Some games will require a third-party program to force themselves into borderless mode. I’ve generally had bad luck with this and have crashed more than once. If you’re using a launcher application like Steam, sometimes you can specify a “-windowed” launch parameter in the game’s properties window and it will start borderless.
But my suggestion is to keep things basic. Playing most casino games full-screen will boost their performance. To see the chat, you can use alt-tab to switch back and forth quickly between the game and chat, or try using in-game overlays to display chat messages.
You should also update your graphics driver, as that tends to resolve odd visual glitches with windowed modes. Experiment with borderless window mode during a less intense part of the game so you can judge its impact on performance.
1. Step 1: Run [Game Name] in a window
2. Open Alt+Enter for Fullscreen, then again for Borderless
3. Some games come with an additional “Borderless Windowed” mode in Display Settings
4. Use a third-party app such as Borderless Gaming
5. Ensure that your graphics driver is current
6. Try to play the game first with play money
7. If it crashes, turn down the resolution
Second, look at the game’s video settings and see if there is an option for ‘Windowed’ or ‘Borderless Window’. If not, try playing in windowed mode and maximising the window yourself. Ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed before trying this trick, and do not use any third-party software that claims to enable borderless windowed mode (you never know what those shady types will do in the background)! Some games will only work with full-screen, so switch back if it crashes. I’ve been playing for years now so I’m fairly certain this is a good idea, but you might want to give it a few minutes just to be sure everything is as smooth as possible. Hope that helped! Tell me if it did
Alt+Enter is often used to switch between fullscreen and windowed modes (or borderless). Go into the game’s options and look for something like “Display Mode” and set it to “Windowed Borderless”. Or if it still slows down or crashes your computer, try turning down some of the graphics settings, as borderless window tends to be less demanding on the GPU than fullscreen. Drop me a note if you need help finding the relevant setting in your particular game’s configuration file or using a third-party utility. Enjoy! 🎰
