Online poker room PKR Poker has successfully joined MPN, or the Microgaming Poker Network as it has formerly been referred to. Thus, it could be said that the poker website that offers its players the chance to play their favorite game in a virtual reality setting is no longer a standalone one. The online poker room pointed out that its 3D client would remain intact.
Commenting on its decision to move to MPN, PKR has said that it has been drawn by the poker software offered. Generally speaking, PKR users will now be able to play with 3D characters that show a number of emotions, can be customized so that they resemble the player whose account they represent, and can even move chips at the tables.
However, players who prefer the old PKR software will still be able to use it or rather they will be able to use a version of it through the Babelfish technology, offered by MPN. Basically, the technology gives operators the opportunity to customize their software so that it meets their players’ demands. PKR users who indeed prefer the room’s older software will still be offered the chance to benefit from the liquidity the MPN customer base provides.
What is more, players can choose whether they want to play in a 2D or a 3D mode. They will also be able to change their preferred mode mid-game with a special button for the purpose that can be found in the top-right corner. It is also important to note that the PKR screen will retain its current bright surroundings.
Chris Welch, COO of PKR, said in a statement that integrating their 3D software to such a popular poker network and enjoying the benefits both worlds offer means a lot to them as the poker room now “can dream big once again.” Mr. Welch further added that their unique software and poker community is a perfect match to Microgaming’s advanced product offering, liquidity, and “proven track record.”
PKR was founded back in 2005 and has been managing 3 main brands since then – PKR Casino, PKR Poker, and PKR Vegas. Based in Alderney, the gambling company is licensed by both the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and the UK Gambling Commission.
