I am using Mandriva One 2008 and downloaded the latest version of Wine (0.9.57) and Pokers Stars software. I successfully installed the program, but only have access to play money tables, and there is no cashier button in the main lobby.I can only acccess my real money account if I boot into XP.

I know this isn't a big problem, but i am trying to completely rid myself of Microsoft, and am very close to where I will no longer need to dual boot with XP. I was hoping someone here may also be using the Poker Stars software. Thank you in advance.....Dan

I've never used that (or any online gambling) software, so I can't give you first hand help here. I can however point you to the wine app db, that you may or may not be familiar with. Please see the HowTo section (specifically Bug# 3270 workarounds) on this page: appdb.winehq.org

I should also note that I have been seen at the Blackjack tables in Atlantic City in real life.

VirtualBox or VMWare server are both free, and likely to work better with such apps than wine...

Turns out Poker Stars software works fine as wine in Wine. I downloaded the version from ".net", which is the play $$ version. I had to got to pokerstars.com and download the software therer. Just wanted topass it along that it does in fact work, and Poker Stars is a great poker site.
