Video Poker for Mac

Video Poker for Macintosh User

The choice we decided on were Bodog.com (USA allowed) and Casino on Net’s (CasinOnNet.com) video poker games if you are on a Macintosh computer.  The casino has specific software for Macs which lets you take advantage of the Flash software.  At the time of this article Casino on Net had 5 video poker games with one Progressive Jackpot.

Mac Browser Capabilities

The software worked fine in Mozilla Firefox and Safari.  As long as you have Flash 7 installed it should work fine on most Macs and browsers.  Casino on Net has been said to work on Linux also.  Not all Linux users have success so don't get your hopes up.  Try CasinoRoom.com if you're using Linux and Casino on Net does function correctly.

Surprisingly, video poker and online slots are among the most sought after casino games among Mac users.  They even beat the Blackjack table popularity.  By the way we also have blackjack for Mac users in another guide.  According to Harrahs Entertainment 7 out of 10 players go to casinos to play video poker and the slots.

Available Video Poker Games

The fives video poker games Mac users have to choose from at Casino on net are Aces and Faces, Royal Diamonds (Progressive Jackpot), Joker’s Wild, Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better, and Bonus Poker.

Now, usually we go into 3 or 4 different casinos that support Macs when doing an article like this.  CasinoonNet.com (888 Casino) satisfied our Mac needs so we don’t need to go into other casinos.  Any of the casinos in our Macintosh casino list have video poker for Macs but we wanted to pick out the best one which I believe we have.

The article done by Harrah’s was actually quite fascinating.  It’s amazing that even with the popularity of Texas Holdem Poker that video poker is still favored in casino games.  Video Poker let’s people gamble with their money in peace without risking being embarrassed if they are new to the game.  That might be one reason of its popularity but in any case that’s our Mac video poker thoughts.

Quick Video Poker Tips

• Don’t bust away and draw to a straight flush if you already have the straight.
• Don’t hold kickers when you have a pair of any kind.  Keeping that kicker will actually make you win five percent less each time.
• If you hold a Jack or something better don’t draw five cards.
• Draw three cards to a Royal Flush if possible instead of drawing four.
• Understand and research the pay tables at the game you are playing.  This is a must!  Wikipedia discusses all the video poker payout tables in full detail.
