Silver Creek casual games ported to OS X

Silver Creek Entertainment's announcement makes another happy instance of game developers catering to Mac users. The company plans to release public beta versions of its casual game software for the Mac OS X platform.

Silver Creek's current product line includes Hardwood Solitaire III, Hardwood Spades, Hardwood Hearts, Hardwood Euchre. In addition, Ruckus Buck's Dangerous Mines, a puzzle game borrowing from Minesweeper, will make its debut as a Mac title. The company is soliticing feedback from gamers as the new Mac games are released.

My big question is – what exactly defines a game as 'casual'? By the colloquial definition, I might have to take issue with some of Silver Creek's game classifications. I've seen some fist fights break out over heated rounds of Spades!
