Pacific Poker’s Macintosh online poker room has launched their WSOP poker satellites for Macintosh poker gamblers at Macpacificpoker.com
[USPRwire, Fri Jan 06 2006] Pacific Poker’s newly launched Macintosh online poker room has released their WSOP satellites tournaments for Mac poker players at www.mac-pacificpoker.com in hopes that one player will hit it big.
Some of the reasons Pacific Poker has opened their doors for Macintosh online poker players wanting to play in the World Series of Poker is that they realize that the online poker market may be shifting toward players wanting to play in bigger tournaments such as the WSOP.
Along with the World Series of Poker satellites Pacific Poker has added their $50k guaranteed multi-table tournaments for Macintosh users. The max amount of players that can play in these tournaments is 2000 with a $65 5 buy in per tournament. Pacific Poker says that the players who make it to the final table at this tournament held every Sunday are in for a very large payout for a small entry fee.
Previous winners of the World Series of Poker have won their entries to the final event through online qualifiers. Pacific Poker does expect to earn a profit from the WSOP satellites but the exposure they would receive by having a Macintosh Pacific Poker player winning the final event would be priceless in terms of brand recognition.
It is only recently that Macintosh poker has been added. Pacific Poker was one of the first large online poker rooms to offer their free no download software for Mac poker players. One of Pacific Poker’s Macintosh competitors is Pokerroom (www.macpokerplayer.com)
Pacific Poker’s Macintosh online poker software runs on Java which does not require a download. The Java program will run in the browser and is best run with Safari or Internet Explorer. Linux users can use the same software as the Mac poker players.
Pacific Poker has decided to offer a bonus of up to $100 instantly for Macintosh players upon opening a new real money account. Pacific Poker does expect the Mac poker player to play a specific amount of raked hands before they can cash out the bonus. Pacific Poker does say they are one of the only poker rooms to give the bonus up front. (www.mac-Pacificpoker.com)
