Party Poker Linux - How Linux Users can Participate at Party Poker

With players from all over the world who love poker tournaments, ring games and online access to all varieties of poker, Party Poker recognizes the need to provide computer compatible gaming options for many systems including Linux. Linux users are welcome at Party Poker, and the way for Linux users to access all that Party Poker has to offer is by playing the browser-run Party Poker Anywhere Version games.

Pros of Anywhere Version Instant Play Software

The Party Poker Anywhere play poker games offer a full range of real money poker games. Anywhere players have access to all the same tournaments and prizes as players using the downloaded software client. However, Linux poker gamers also enjoy these benefits of using the Anywhere Poker Version:

• Access from any personal or public computer worldwide
• No waiting to play poker while software downloads and installs
• Fast loading Java scripts run games effectively, even with slower connections
• Works as well with older computers and slower Internet connections because it uses less memory than downloads

Cons of Anywhere Version Instant Play Software

Even with all these benefits, there are still some limitations to the Anywhere version of the Party Poker software. While the graphics and animations are still built into the Anywhere version, some players will notice the slightly lesser quality or less smooth function of the graphic animation. Some of the other full-version features are not yet added to the brower-based Anywhere version. The game functions that Anywhere players are not able to use are:

• Multi-table play
• Table filters
• Tiling, cascading or resizing tables
• Private table selection
• Quick Seat features
• Options for the dealer, such as changing card color
• Previous hand history
• Searching or creating Buddy lists
• Players' notes on opponents
• Personal playing statistics
• Network status
• Blocking chats

What Linux Users Need In System Requirements

Linux users can use the Java-based versions for Anywhere instant play through one of the common web browsers. Supporting this instant play makes Party Poker compatible with Linux systems. However, a few minimum system components are still necessary, such as:

• Linux operating system
• Sound card to run audio components
• One of the supported web browsers
• At least 800x600 screen resolution, up to a resolution of 1024x768 and 256 colors
• Minimum 128 MB RAM, more is preferable
• Java in either Microsoft JVM, Sun JVM 1.4 or 1.5, IBM JVM

Playing Poker In Browser-Based Versions

When playing poker via a web browser, Linux players need to ensure their browser works with the Party Poker Anywhere version games. The three main web browsers that Party Poker supports for Anywhere version poker play are:

• Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and later
• Windows Internet Explorer version 6.0 and later
• Safari 1.3 and later versions

Working to ensure that all players on every computer system have access to the incredible games, promotions and offers at Party Poker is a challenge. However, PartyPoker.com provides Linux users with a worthwhile version of instant play games that effectively parallels their full downloadable software.
