A while back some online casino owners decided to develop their own gaming software that would allow Mac users to play games at their online casinos. Since then online casino games for Macs have taken off in a big way. There are now quite a lot of online casino games for Mac users but of course not quite as many as you'll find for PCs. These games are available in two versions "downloadable" and "no download required".

The downloadable version is quite similar to those games that you would download for your PC, you have to download the gaming software onto your hard-drive and then it has to be installed onto your computer. After installation is complete you will have to create an account with the online casino before you can start playing. If you choose this route don't forget to use your antivirus to do a scan of the program before you install it to make sure you haven't made a mistake and chosen an amoral casino which includes harmful spyware or viruses in its installation.

The "no download required" version is simply what the name implies, you do not have to download and install any gaming software on your computer, you simply sign up for an account and start play immediately from your browser. These types of game use "flash technology" and are quite simple to use. All you have to do is log onto the online casino website of your choice click on the play button (you can either play for free or for real money depending on the casino you select) sign up for an account and you are all set to go.

There are so many online casino games for Mac users to choose from. Here is just an example of what you can expect when looking for online casino Mac games.

Table Games: There are quite a number of games to choose from in this category: Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjacks, Craps Let It Ride, and various types of Poker games.

Video Poker Games include games such as: Jacks or Better: 3 hands, 10 hands and 52 hands, Deuces Wild, Double Jackpot, Joker Poker; 3 hands, 10 hands and 52 hands.

Slot Machine Games; Here you have two choices you can either play the regular three line slots machines or you can opt for the more modern five line Video Slots Machines. With Video Slots Machines you have a wider variety of games to choose from.

Deciding which of these games to play, especially if you're a novice gambler can be a bit daunting. Never fear though, that's why there are online casinos where you can play for free! You can figure out which game suits you and build up your skills without spending a dime at these casinos and then when you're more confident you can move on to winning real cash!

Finally there is one other important thing worth mentioning, depending on which browser you are using, whether it is Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari; keep in mind that not all online casino Mac games will work on all of these browsers, so be sure and read the requirements before choosing which online casino games you want to play on your Mac today.
