About instant play mac poker sites.

Back in the good old days, it was virtually impossible for Mac computer users to play online poker.  Neither of the major online poker sites provided Linux or Mac-compatible downloads for users to play at, such was the popularity and gauging market share of PCs at the time.

The main issue for Mac poker players was that the poker site downloads and files were only available as an executable file (.exe) which weren’t recognised by MacBooks.

However, by 2003 Apple was tearing up bits of Microsoft’s market share in the computer industry.  Successful Apple products such as the MacBook and iMac became extremely popular during 2003 – 2010.  The poker rooms responded by providing Mac-compatible software to cater to these new users on their computers – hence the arrival of Mac poker downloads.

However another form of technology was also on the rise, in the form of Java and Flash.  Both of these pieces of technology enable users to play poker using in-browser software.  This means that you can play poker immediately on someone else’s computer without having to download any files or folders and install software. 

The main advantages of instant play Mac poker is that it reduces memory space on your desktop (CPU) plus all you have to do is open up your web-browser to begin playing poker.

The downside to playing on instant poker clients on Mac computers however is that the games tend to include less features/graphics. 

Although the games run just as fast as regular PC downloads, the graphics will be limited (particularly important for multi-tabling), the range of games that you can play will be reduced and in general the experience won’t be 100% as regular downloadable poker.
