I'm running Linux Mint 11 the game is from SunPalaceCasino I'd assume I'm running the latest version of wine I just loaded it yesterday. This is only my third day using Linux so I'm a noob.

I wouldn't assume that. Open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

wine --version

to find out. If it's older than 1.3.26 you need to upgrade.

If the game doesn't work in 1.3.26, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. If the output is long, use pastebin and post a link here.

I tried the app, and the installer dies quietly very early.
It unpacks a file c:/users/$USERNAME/Temp/~
and then executes and deletes it, but that executable crashes
with a null pointer write on the very first instruction
after setting up the frame pointer:

Wine-dbg>
0x00468208 EntryPoint in foo: addb %al,0x0(%eax)
Wine-dbg>stepi
Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00468208).

Somebody needs to see what that executable does on windows.
