Mac Video Poker Sites

Mac owners might face problems while using the video poker software downloaded from the gaming sites, as it is not compatible with their computer. The most commonly used computers usually run on Microsoft Windows hence gaming sites designed the software for Microsoft Windows. Mac runs on an operating system completely different from Microsoft and so the software compatible with Microsoft is not supported by Mac.

Instant Play Option for Mac Users

Mac users can play Video Poker directly on the site without any download. All you need is the correct plug-in supported by your browser. Most of the instant play browser versions of games provided by the gaming sites run on Flash or Java; very few sites use HTML. According to the technology used, you will require a plug-in that will assist the site in operating the online software.

Advantages: Since you do not download and install any file for the Instant Play option, you don’t have to worry about viruses infecting your system or any additional space being used up on your system.

The browser version of the game can be as fast as the downloaded version. Also, some of the gaming sites provide the same quality graphics and all extra features as in their downloadable games.

Another Alternative for Mac Users- Emulation Program

An emulator will allow you to install a pseudo Microsoft Windows operating system on your Apple machine without disturbing the existing Mac operating system. This pseudo Microsoft environment will enable you to install the downloadable version of Video Poker without any compatibility error.

Some of the emulation programs that you can use are Virtual PC, Wine HQ, iEmulator and VMware. The latest Apple computers come with an option of setting up a system where both Windows XP and Mac OS can exist simultaneously. With a Microsoft operating system you can download, install and use the poker game from any gambling site.
