windows programs/poker

Post by 2mmy »

Hey
I recently installed linux mint, on my secoundary pc, but loved it so much that I want it on my main pc also. My question is now, is there a windows simulation software or something for linux mint. So I still will be able to play poker online? As I dont think any of them got a linux version of there poker clients? Thanks

Thanks, just what I was looking for :) As I am playing with pokerstars and partypoker so guess Wine is the way to go

I had both PokerStars and PartyPoker running through Wine on Linux Mint 6 (haven't tried on Linux Mint 7 but I assume it would work), there was a few problems with the graphics when trying to resize any windows but ultimately it was playable.

Speaking of which I must try and set that up tonight.

Haven't tried running them through VirtualBox yet but that might also work.
Linux Mint 20.3 (Cinnamon) 64bit.
