William Hill Poker Download and Mac/Linux Compatibility

As noted above, William Hill has their poker room on the iPoker network. This means that their software was put out by Playtech, a major player in the online poker business. Windows players may want to download the software, but soon you'll be able to use their streaming poker room no matter what operating system you are on. That means that this poker room will soon be open to Mac and Linux players. To access this special version of the poker room, you will just have to go to the William Hill website and choose to play the instant version. It will load right in your browser, and you will be off to the races.

If you plan on downloading the software to your Windows computer, however, there are a set of modest minimum hardware and software requirements. Your copy of Windows must be 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, or newer. Your computer's processor must be able to perform at the 400MHz level and you need at least 98 MB of RAM. You must have up to 100 MB of disk space available for the installation, and you'll obviously have to have an active Internet connection no matter which version of the software you want.

William Hill is a lot like other iPoker skins, but its biggest strength is its total customizability. You can set a custom avatar, tweak the game's appearance to meet your liking, and use any currency or language that you want. The software supports multi-table play and allows you to run up to eight games at any single moment. Even with all of them running at the same time, though, the William Hill poker software is able to hold it's own. This high degree of reliability is part of what keeps players coming back day after day, month after month, and year after year.

The lobby interface at William Hill isn't too far out of the ordinary. If you've ever played in an iPoker room before, you'll feel right at home when playing at William Hill. Also, if you've ever played at any other major poker room, you're going to be way ahead on the learning curve. The lobby uses a tab-based index to organize all of the games, and to make it as easy as ever for you to narrow the options down to just the right games for you. Once you've got the list tightened up to the right type of games and the right stakes, you can easily compare the tables based on extra information like hands per hour and flop percentage.
