PKR 3D Casino And 3D Poker News, by Greg Tingle - 7th June 2010

PKR, the world famous online poker and online casino band, is preparing to go fully 3D with their casino offering by year end.

Media and gaming commentators from Media Man, Casino News Media, Gambling911, GPWA, EGR and CAP have been following the developments and progress by PKR for a few years, but as we head towards the second part of 2010 things are ramping up to a whole new level, both for players, front end, back end, for players, business management and futurists.

Our industry friends at EGR have been able to get a number of scoops on PKR, as Media Man and Casino News Media have been more focused on the igaming and online affiliate industry as whole, as well as securing exclusives at PartyGaming and Richard Branson's Virgin Casino - Virgin Games - Virgin Gaming powerhouse. As they say, there's only so much room at the top, but PKR has certainly risen to top 10, if not top 5 status, over the past 6 months.

Team Media Man says PKR is world class these days with innovation, game play, security, affiliate offerings, reliability and customer service.

Speaking to eGaming Review, PKR top brass Malcolm Graham advised a suite of casino games is coming up soon. Furthermore, their 3D poker room has rocketed at an average of one million players per annum since its virgin launch circa 2006.

Mr Graham on the record...“My hypothesis is that there’s an opportunity to leverage a richer visual experience on the table side, hence what we’re doing. At the moment it’s somewhere between 2D and 3D. There are limitations to the movie-esque table experience, which we’re hopeful we can take to another level. We’re in the process of rolling out 3D casino games, which included launching 3D roulette in December. It will be the best roulette product in the market (and) we’ll then be adding table games to that.”

The firm also has grand plans to follow up with blackjack cum July, casino hold ‘em in September and Caribbean stud and baccarat in November. Online slots are on the cards via way of 3rd party agreement.

On 3D casino Mr Graham talks about “world class CRM, payment processing and tournament offerings”.

In addition, expect more online and offline surprises.

Media Man understands 'Avatar' type technology, multi tables, social networking and more aspects like 'Poker In The Park'.

More quotes from 'MR PKR'...“As the online demographic broadens it will attract people who want to chat at the table. But we’re not going to force it down their throats”.

So players, punters, insiders, outsiders, entrepreneurs and everyone else. There you have it.

Most certainly sounds like a big part of the world's poker and casino excitement will remain in the PKR camp, but you can bet the folks at competitors such as PartyGaming - PartyPoker.com, PartyCasino.com, Virgin Games, Centrebet and others will give them a run for their money.

As always, please know the odds, bet with your head, not over it, and have fun... something easily done at PKR. Shuffle up and deal.
