You have surely heard of free online casinos for Windows and have probably even heard that people are playing online on Mac systems. But where can you find online casinos for Linux? On this page you can find some Linux-compatible online casinos and poker rooms.
How it works?
The online casinos listed below are not only compatible with Linux, but they can be played on both Mac and Windows OS, too. This is, because they don't require any type of download in order to be played online. You probably wonder what kind of software these online casinos are using. The answer is, that they are either based on Java by Sun Microsystems, or Macromedia Flash technology. In both cases, the online poker or casino game is run directly in the Internet browser to ensure a pleasant online gaming experience.
As a downside please note that occasionally a browser-based Java or Flash casino may be missing some game details such as accumulated jackpots, multi-tabling abilities etc.
What you should also know about Linux online gambling:
- We suggest Mozilla Firefox as the fastest and most secure browser for gaming on a Linux OS.
- If a casino you've previously downloaded on a PC has a Linux compatible flash version, you will be able to play both versions using the same account number. So, if you have downloaded a casino on your PC, you can also play with your account on Linux, through the Flash/Java technology.
- There is nothing in regards to deposits, withdrawals, bonuses or secure transactions that changes if the casino is being played on a Linux system.
- Other options to play free online casinos on a Linux system are installing Wine or performing Dual-boot, but they require too much effort and involve system risks, so we do not recommend them.
