Online Poker for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the texas-hold-'em-anyone dept.

Burianski11 wonders: "For a while now, I have been playing online poker at sites such as Poker Stars and Party Poker. In the past, this hasn't bothered me much, since I was primarily a Windows user. However, now that I am trying to make the switch to Linux I am realizing that this is one thing that will be sorely missed (and may cause me to keep a Windows box around). Do any of you know of any online gambling sites that support Linux?"

    I would think the lack of online gambling is a good thing: It used to be people could destroy their savings once a quarter on Vegas trips but now they can dump money down the drain at will thanks to the Internet gambling. I personally wouldn't trust these sites (which are not regulated like Vegas casio's are: not that I trust *them* that much) one bit. Online casino losing money today? Guess it's time to stop dealing aces to the players...
