Mac Online Poker For Party Poker

Mac Online Poker For Party Poker










Jacksonville Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 3, 2006

Mac online poker players who currently play at Pacific Poker’s Macintosh online poker room (http://www.mac-pacificpoker.com) question when Party Poker will become Mac compatible. Party Poker replies with grim futures for Mac poker at Party Poker.

While Apple poker players say they are happy with Pacific Poker’s Mac poker room they wanted to know when and how Party Poker will become Mac compatible. Upon contacting the support team about this issue Party Poker responded that there are no eminent plans to become Mac compatible.

Many reasons that contribute to Party Poker not becoming compatible is due to extremely expensive software upgrades and Mac users do not take up a large part of the market. Most of Party Poker’s users are currently Windows based users.

Party Poker did say that they were looking into the Mac online poker market for possible upgrades in the software. If the expected revenues out weigh the future revenues for building the software then they will not continue to build an online poker software for Mac users.

Pacific Poker is a leader in the Mac online poker market and it is in their best interest that Party Poker stays far away from this market. Party Poker captures such a large customer base that if they were to become Mac online poker compatible many investors believe it would be very detrimental to their revenues.

To become Mac online poker compatible such as Pacific Poker (http://www.mac-pacificpoker.com) a software would need to run on Java. This Java poker software runs in the browser giving Macintosh users the capability to play online poker.

For now Macintosh poker players say they are happy with Pacific Poker’s software but they do hope for more options when it comes to playing poker on a Mac.

Dave Harkins Releases ‘Dave’s Cool Tools for Small Business Vol. 1: 19 Indepensible Websites for Small Business’










Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) February 6, 2006

The web has a lot of crap on it when it comes to small business. It seems like everyone has some website selling something. Most of it is largely unusable for a typical small business, but certainly racks up the sales for the Internet entrepreneur. For most, it’s hard to separate the valuable from the crap without spending a big bucks.

The last thing a small business person needs is to through away hard-to-come-by cash on crap. As a veteran entrepreneur and consultant to both large and small business, Dave Harkins decided to put my experience to work for you. Dave has scoured the Internet for online tools and services that will help you run your business, and tested the tools personally with my “business hat” on and ranked each on their value to cost (if any), service value and value to small business, and ideas for how to use the website for your business.

The result of my research is Dave Harkins’ Cool Tools for Small Business, Volume 1: 19 Indispensable Websites. This e-book that features 19 websites that offer free (or low cost) tools and services that can provide tangible value for the small business.

ICS Gaming Releases Its Casino & Gaming Commission Training Series

ICS Gaming Releases Its Casino & Gaming Commission Training Series










(PRWEB) December 17, 2004

“With the resounding success of our slot math seminar during TechFest, we have developed a full training seminar covering slot math, game creation and theory of slots. It is designed to give information that can actually be used on a daily basis. There’s no need to work with complex formulas or advanced math that the students will never use. This seminar will give a solid foundation of slot theory and math that can be used by slot technicians, casino management and accounting departments.” said John Wilson, President of ICS Gaming.

The sessions have been attended by gaming commission personnel and casino staff from Canada and the United States, including the Excalibur, Circus Circus, Isle of Capris, Motor City Casino and Mystic Lake Casino.

Perhaps the most innovative and valuable part of the seminar is the extensive use of VC Slots®. VC Slots® is a proprietary slot machine development environment that allows the class to develop their own slot machine games with the availability of every feature found in games in casinos today. A complete PAR sheet is generated including the volatility index and graphs. The students can actually play the game using the VC Slots® simulator to see how their creation works.

While slot math is a subject that might not sound too interesting, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. “If you think slot math might be dull, boring or over your head, think again,” said Randy Fromm, organizer to TechFest and editor of Slot Tech Magazine. “His is a lively and informative presentation that actually makes slot math fun. I wish my High School math teachers had been half as good as John is at teaching.”

“By making this session highly interactive, it allows the students to become very involved in the process of creating a slot machine. The figures on a PAR sheet become much more meaningful when they have played an active part in creating them.” states Wilson. “It’s an opportunity that is not available anywhere else. The experience gives the students the ability to directly relate to their own operations. It’s the highest level of training they can receive.”

The three day seminar is called “sm3: Slot Machines, Math and Magic”. A book by the same name is set to be released in the spring, complementing this extensive training opportunity.

Pal Productions, Inc. donates USA Trip 50® card games to U.S. Troops overseas

Pal Productions, Inc. donates USA Trip 50® card games to U.S. Troops overseas










Kane Cochran (PRWEB) March 26, 2003 -

For Immediate Release        CONTACT:9723 xt. 11

Troy, Ohio – March 24, 2003 – In response to the American Red Cross “Quality-of-Life” campaign, Pal Productions, Inc. has donated over 1,000 USA Trip 50 card games to the Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, to be sent to United States Armed Forces serving overseas.

The USA Trip 50 card games will be distributed to areas such as Afghanistan, Kuwait and military aircraft carriers serving in the Middle East.

“We are very proud of our armed forces and are happy to find a way to let them know that we appreciate their bravery, effort and sacrifices,” said Pal Productions, Inc. Vice President Kane Cochran.

USA Trip 50, a rummy-style card game based around the geography of the United States, was created by Pal Productions in 1982. “Many of our U.S. troops have been overseas and away from their families for extended periods of time. Since USA Trip 50 is based on the United States, we hope the games will provide both a touch of home and fun for our U.S. troops,” said Cochran.

The shipment of USA Trip 50 games is expected to leave Ohio soon and arrive in the Middle East in less than a month.

ABOUT USA TRIP 50®

USA Trip 50 is the original and best state connecting card game. It is played like the old favorite rummy-type card games – but with a twist! From the cards dealt them, each player chooses a secret “takeoff” state as the base to begin their “Trip of CardsTM ” across the USA. Players then draw, pickup and discard until one player connects all his cards in a continuous chain of states and goes “Trip 50.” There are over 50 ways to play USA Trip 50 – Hearts, Rummy, Poker, Euchre and more.

And, there is a bonus! Since USA Trip 50 was created by using the four standard suits of a regular card deck, players can use these unique cards to play any regular card game.

ABOUT PAL PRODUCTIONS, INC.

Pal Productions, Inc. is dedicated to “bringing geography to the world” through its products USA Trip 50® and World 7® card games and the USA Trip 50 & World 7 Solitaire® CD-ROM. Founded in 1982, Pal Productions has produced and distributed card games for over 20 years. Their products have won awards including the prestigious 2002 Parents’ Choice Silver Award for USA Trip 50 & World 7 Solitaire. Visit http://www.palproductions.com to learn more.

The Liberalisation of Denmark?s Gambling Market Small Giant in the North ? Paving the Way for Scandinavia?

The Liberalisation of Denmark’s Gambling Market Small Giant in the North – Paving the Way for Scandinavia?










London/Munich/Copenhagen (PRWEB) November 6, 2009

Currently, the French liberalisation plans are probably getting most of the industry’s attention. But in the background, at times almost neglected, several other countries, such as Denmark, are setting about liberalising large parts of their gambling market. Therefore, the consulting firm MECN and the law firm Horten have joined forces to compile a new report that offers an unprecedented in-depth analysis of Denmark’s gambling market.

Denmark’s gambling market may not be as big as that of France or Italy, but the planned liberalisation is nevertheless highly relevant for the global market:

Denmark is one of the first to liberalise its gambling market – The Danish government is one of the first in both the EU and Scandinavia to respond to the growing market share of Internet gambling operators and to the increasing pressure of the European Commission by liberalising its gambling market.
Liberalisation goes beyond the online gambling sector – Whereas the French draft law limits liberalisation to selected online games, the Danish government goes further and also plans to open up the retail/land-based betting market. We believe that an expansion to the retail sector is a more sustainable solution and therefore more likely to be taken up and adapted in other European countries.
Denmark: paving the way for Scandinavia? – It is still an open question how developments in Denmark will influence the current discussions in the other, more protectionist, Scandinavian states. We believe that other Scandinavian states will closely watch the implementation of Denmark’s liberalisation plans, its challenges, private operators’ actions, developments of tax/levies, and, last but not least, the impact on problematic gambling.
A Danish license: a must for private operators active in Scandinavia – MECN believes that private operators with a focus on Scandinavia should definitely participate in Denmark’s liberalised market. They could not only gather valuable experience but also present themselves as trustworthy partners for gambling operations throughout all of Scandinavia.

MECN’s new report about the Danish gambling market

The report includes detailed analyses of all relevant topics:

Unique overview of the liberalisation process and content of the draft law – Although the current draft law liberalising the gambling market is still confidential, MECN and the Danish law firm Horten are able to offer unparalleled insights into key details of the draft law.
Analyses of all sectors – The report offers an analysis of all sectors of the gambling market: interactive/online gambling, betting, lottery, gambling machines, and casinos.
Current market figures – The report includes comprehensive market data up to 2008, such as market size and development of sales/turnover as well as gross revenues, registered users, …
-Legal/regulatory and tax information – The report provides detailed explanations of the current legislation and the taxes imposed – it was produced in cooperation with the leading legal experts of the Danish law firm Horten.

In total, the report has 48 pages and 24 graphics/exhibits.
