While many online poker sites still only provide their poker service for Windows based users, 888 offers its players a Windows compatible downloadable software package and a java based. This way, the large Windows based population as well as Mac and Linux users can all enjoy the poker experience at 888 Poker.

Downloadable Package

888’s primary software option is their downloadable client. Prior to 2005, 888’s software service was relatively poor with shoddy graphics and connection interruptions experienced by a variety of players. However, after having revamped their software in 2005, 888 has developed its services into one of the top five offerings in the online poker industry.

Software Minimum Requirements

888’s software package has relatively few system requirements. Practically everyone will be able to download the 15.7 MB sized package and run the software smoothly. The requirements are as follows:

  • Microsoft Windows Version 95 or better OS
  • Screen Resolution of at least 600 X 800 pixels
  • 30 MB of hard drive space
  • High color monitor setting of at least 16 bit or better

Running the Software

Getting 888 Poker’s software to run on your computer is a relatively simply process and should take no more than 30 minutes at the most.

888’s official website allows players to download the software package. The executable file should be saved in a location on your computer where you will be able to identify it. Once the file has finished downloading, initiate the installation sequence by executing the file. The 888 Installation Wizard will ask you to choose a destination folder for the program - remember it’s best to have 30 MB of space available. Finishing the installation will prompt the program to start up and give you access to the 888 Poker lobby where you can create your account and eventually get to playing ring games and tournaments.

Non Download Option

888 also offers players the opportunity to play right through their internet browser with a java based software. This version is available via their official website as the Instant Play No Download option. As long as your computer has the most up to date java plug in, you will be able to run this poker service without a hitch regardless of what operating system you use.

With two excellent options, 888 has got you covered regardless of whether you use a Windows PC, Mac or Linux. Those who run a Windows OS can download the primary software package with all the bells and whistles from 888 Poker, while players who’d rather run the instant play version can do so right through their internet browser.
