Looks like they're serious about no Flash with Chrome. So I started looking for a replacement. Maxthon looked good, but I was disappointed that I could only play in a tab (with the black stripes) or full screen.
Found a way.
Open gameclient tab.
Right click and choose "Save as Quick App."
This will put an icon on desktop and/or tray that will open what we're used to from the Play Now button.
Further, by adjusting the size of the window, I was able to get the meter to be exactly the size I was used to.
