PKR Launches New Software Upgrade
Imaginative poker site PKR has launched an array of new features and games to its award-winning software.
The online poker room, which features real-time 3D graphics and a videogame experience, added Omaha Hi/Lo to its most recent upgrade, as well as several other features and items in the PKR Shop. The popular Omaha Hi/Lo Pot Limit and Limit options will now be available across cash games, Sit & Gos and Multi-table Tournaments.
PKR has also added Mini Roulette to its online casino, joining Blackjack and Casino Hold’em on the site’s table game roster. Mini Roulette is just like American or European Roulette only with fewer numbers. PKR also offers Craps, Sic Bo and Wild Viking among its wide variety of casino games.
A new “time bank” feature has been added to the poker software to give players additional time if needed to make a critical decision. In cash games, the more hands you are dealt means more time added to your bank — up to the table maximum — while in tournament play the additional time allotted to each player is fixed. In addition, PKR has added a “Break Skip” option so that players can opt out of regular breaks at the final table of a Multi-table Tournament. If all players decide to skip their break then the action will continue right away.
PKR’s Shop has also taken a step up. Players will be able to spend their PKR points on a wide range of high-end electronics as well as new poker books, accessories and subscriptions to PKR.com’s partner training site Bluefire Poker, hosted by high-stakes legend and World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Galfond. In tournaments, players receive 100 PKR points for every $1 spent in entry fees. At cash tables, points are awarded based on raked hands and calculated against the amount that a player has put into the pot divided between the other players at the table.
“Our community is highly valued and as we grow we like to make sure we provide our players with exactly what they need”, said PKR Marketing Director Simon Prodger. “Many of the features in our updates are in response to popular demand and we are constantly working on improvements for the future.”
