LockPoker.com that is located at the Cake Poker Network has announced in a press release that they are now offering a Mac friendly version of their poker client. This means that they are joining a growing number of Mac Poker Sites.

The Mac version of Lock Poker has all of the functions that can be found in the regular PC friendly version. You can play with either real money or you will be able to play at the play money tables if you are just interested in testing the new software before making a deposit. You will be able to use the chat features just like in a normal poker room but the best feature is probably that you can adjust the table size which is really great if you are playing more than one table at a time.

According to the poker players that have tried out this new Macintosh friendly software on the Cake Poker Network have reported that they feel it is faster and more stable now that they don’t have to use an emulator from a third party to play poker on their Mac.

In order to be able to play at LockPoker using a Mac you will need an Intel Processor and Mac OS X 10.5 or a later version.

Hopefully it will not be long before other poker rooms on the Cake Poker Network also gets this Mac friendly version of their poker software.
