GamesGrid Poker brings gambling to OS X
I’m not much of a gambler, but until I saw a banner ad for GamesGrid Poker I didn’t think OS X users could gamble over the internet at all. GamesGrid Poker is a downloadable gambling client for both OS X and Windows that offers seven games in total: Hold ‘Em, Omaha, 7-Card Stud, Razz, 2-7 Triple-Draw Lowball, and Dealer’s Choice.
Users can play for free or enter…
