So I'm thinking about doing some stuff on our sit for MAC players. But I'm not a MAC user, so a little confused.

(a) do all the no-download casinos work on MAC?
(b) are there casinos out there with specific download software for MAC?

Any information greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bernie

I tested a bunch of them and all instant flash casinos work for a while but all crash after about 30 min. game-play.
CR promotes a MAC casino - CA but it crashes very often, the flash casinos work better lol
Tested on the browsers safari, firefox, chrome.

Corrected :)

I have a Mac and installed VMWare and I can play any windows casino using that. Its the best solution.

Otherwise most flash software works, although Microgaming can be picky about which browser you use. I can't get their games to work in Safari but they work fine in Firefox or Chrome. I think Tower Gaming has a mac casino client, but it is more or less just a wrapper for their flash games.

btw writing Mac as MAC shows you're not a user (its not an acronym like PC, its short for Macintosh). Don't make that mistake on your site! You know how the Mac freaks get upset by little things like that.

The most bang for buck would be for the software developers to concentrate on browser based games. Then they will work on anything and if they want to make a download software they can just write something that loads the web based games. I'm pretty sure thats what Tower did. Net Entertainment makes the most awesome games these days and they all work on a Mac so they have it covered. But Microgaming, RTG and Playtech etc all have flash games that are inferior to the download ones (worse graphics and sounds) and the choice of games is not as big.

You should be able to use VirtualBox (free) on Mac as well. Same as VMWare (which is what I use). It's too bad that MGS, RTG, and Playtech are Flash-based. That won't be supported very well as HTML 5 becomes adopted on a more frequent bases (just a guess).
