Game Grid Debuts Online Poker for Mac

by , 9:00 AM EDT, September 9th, 2005

GamesGrid announced Friday the release of what it is calling the "first and only" poker software specifically written for Mac users.

Developed by CyberArts in California, Game Grid Poker has been exclusively licensed to Malta-based Skill Games Ltd., who operate the GamesGrid brand.

GamesGrid Poker is an online, real time poker network. Members can play for free, or bet with actual money bets.

GamesGrid Poker works on Macintosh computers running OS X 10.3.9 or later. The download is 4.8 megabytes in size.

Pokerpages.com has had a mac native (OS X) client for years that is fabulous. Invalid claim.

Join Bugsy club, it rocks!

Visually appealing (great hand visualization on the real-time log) and smooth, GamesGrid Poker works on Macintosh computers running OS X 10.3.9 or later. It also requires QuickTime 6.5.2 or later. GamesGrid's 2 main downsides are: 1. No human avatars around the (round!) tables. 2. Low (but growing) traffic. Still, this 100% Mac-friendly room is worth a visit.

GamesGrid is lacking in many areas. I agree with what funkey has to say about gamesgrid. i think that gamesgrid is coming out too soon and not hard enough.

They are sure going to have a tough time beating top quality sites such as www.MacPokerOnline.com and www.iMacOnlinePoker.com

I used those two mac poker sites to research mac online poker reviews and they both offer much better first time mac online poker deposit bonuses than gamesgrid does.

Plug: Get $300+ free deposit bonus cash at these mac online poker sites:

www.MacPokerOnline.com

www.iMacOnlinePoker.com
