The PKR software is taking online poker to the next generation with the first 3D software client which has really taken off.

The 3D PKR software feels more like a video game than the traditional 2D poker software that we are used to from other online poker sites. The reason for this is that PKR have succeeded where others have failed by delivering this 3D "video game" experience at the same time as delivering a stable piece of software and user experience.

The trade off for this is slightly slower game play as it takes a little longer while players check their cards just like in a live game etc, but the delay is minimal.

The graphics on the PKR software is quite outstanding and the fun animations at the tables really add an element of fun by allowing you to taunt your opponents, do chip tricks while you are waiting for your turn to act and many other things.

You also build up your online persona, by dressing your character and you can use your player points that you earn playing to buy additional clothes and accessories and things like great new chip tricks to expand your online character and build it up over time.

It's really hard to explain just how impressive the PKR software is and you really must download it and try it out to experience this new type of online poker.

The traffic at PKR is fast growing and during the latter part of 2007 and early 2008 the software has been heavily marketed attracting lots of new players and growing the traffic.

The traffic still cannot rival the bigger poker sites, but PKR offers something different and this is slowly but surely attracting more and more players.

During peak times you will find about 5,000 players online.

We predict that over the next year or two PKR will continue to grow and eventually will break into the top 5 poker sites for traffic.

This is one of the major benefits to PKR - the 3D video game software is attracting a whole new type of player to online poker and the good news for experienced players is that this new type are inexperienced casual players, which means that we have seen some of the softest competition at PKR that we have seen in a long time.

Experienced players really can take advantage of this and make some serious profits from this soft competition, however there is limited traffic on higher stakes tables as most of it is focused on the mid to low stake tables.

PKR is the only online poker software developer to be licensed by the UK Government and is also regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, so you can be assured that in order to achieve these accreditations they have to pass the most stringent of security and integrity tests.

PKR has this to say about their software security:

" It is a requirement of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission that an independent testing house evaluates a licensee's RNG, operating procedures, systems architecture, technical infrastructure, site security and the veracity of the games themselves. PKR Ltd has been evaluated by Gaming Associates, an Australian based testing company and we have met their requirements."
