First Will Come US

The question of whether or not online casino gambling software will be developed for Macs largely depends on if the US government chooses to license and regulate the internet gambling industry. The Mac platform just isn’t popular enough in the international market for the software development companies to justify the expense of creating and running Mac-friendly software at the online casinos. A few of the key and major gambling companies have announced that they have considered developing a Mac-compatible platform, but without a strong profit outcome it has been put on the back burner and is not a priority.

The fact of the matter is, as fiercely loyal as Mac users may be – they are a definite minority and that has created some issues outside of the online casino gambling industry as well. Some niche software that PC users are able to access and enjoy may never be configured for operation on the Mac OS – this is just one of those things that Mac users have to come to accept. As far as a date of when the Mac market will be large enough to warrant its own gambling platform at the online casinos, that is tied into the US gambling market.

There are three main software development companies that cater to the closed US market despite the ban on offshore online casinos. According to industry analysts, one of these three (Vegas Technology, Rival Gaming, and Real Time Gaming) will likely be the first company to release a  Mac-compatible US online casino platform because this market has the highest concentration of Mac users. Speculation also notes that it is very likely that the three companies will wait for a sign that legalized and regulated gambling is near before such an investment.
