The following write up is for Mac Pokerstars.
Being as I’m in the process of purchasing my iMac, quite a bit sooner than anticipated, I’ve been keeping a very long list of bookmarks for websites that I’ll be visiting on a regular basis. This means for either software and product downloads or even just sites that seem to work the best on Safari based browsers. Being a PC member for so long, Mac is almost like an elite club that I’ve been lingering around and never actually applied for – you know?
I’m someone who will take some time here and there and load up a few game websites just to break up the monotony of reading line after line of code on a regular basis. Sure, I can code up a template faster than anyone I know but the photoshop end of things take a lot out of me. I find myself playing Poker quite a bit so I’ve floated around websites like PokerStars.com and other sites where I’m looking for tips and tricks while I’m playing for free over on Yahoo.
The thing is, I’m a gambler so finding out that PokerStars is working on new software for Mac users has got me intrigued. A fellow webmaster located on PokerOnMac.com has been keeping track of this new development since 2006 (based on how his archives go back). He gives you a full break down of everything you can expect from this new software. He also explains many aspects of the site as it is right now for the PC based users and the limited group of Intel based Mac running boot camp or parallels.
The thing I like about PokerStars is they really do come across like an actual Casino. As a Total Rewards member with Harrah’s (Ceasers, Showboat, Bally’s…etc) you’re given points for all the money you earn, or even just showing up at the casino. These points turn to cash and then you can use the points to buy products. With PokerStars, you can use your points to buy everything from iPods to Plasma TVs, even a car. It’s pretty darn cool. I probably wouldn’t have ever known this if I didn’t come across pokeronmac.com though, while I do read the sites I don’t typically look into the benefits considering I’m not financially sound at the moment to actually sign up and throw some money onto this site, you know?
Maybe when they come out for the Mac I’ll go poke around as an actual member, who knows – I may do pretty well and could wind up owning that house afterall.
