- Monday, 14 Nov 2005
New gambling software for users of Mac OS X and Mac Safari operating systems is available in Pacific Poker Online Casino. The new gambling software enables users to play at the online casino without purchasing Virtual PC software. The gambling software itself is Java-based, which means that it can be played directly from the online casino website, without having to download or install anything. In addition to Macintosh users, Linux, Unix and Windows users will also be able to play at the online casino.
The reason why the online casino has decided to upgrade the gambling software offered at its site has a lot to do with the fact that an estimated 4.4% of the PC market is occupied by Macintosh users. Pacific Poker has decided to take advantage of this small market share by offering this Java based version for Mac poker players and also a Flash style version for their casino which is a ‘Quick Play’ version as well.
The online casino and poker market has become a multibillion dollar industry and many online gambling followers expect more poker rooms and casinos to take advantage of these small markets as the industry begins to mature and become saturated. Less than 5% may seem like a small portion of the market. However, when taking into consideration that the online gambling market is expanding in a rapid pace, this portion is likely to increase in the coming years.
