PKR Launches Version 3.0

On October 14, PKR Poker launched a new version of its award-winning 3D poker client, PKR 3.0.  The software will be automatically be installed for any PKR customer who tries to load their desktop client.
 
PKR is excited by this launch, with the company's Head of Public Relations, Dan Grant, announcing, "It has been a while in the making, but 3.0 is almost here and it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for PKR and our players."
 
Grant emphasized that the update was mostly about additional software functionality by providing simplicity of use and improved game flow: "Although we've further enhanced the graphics, this software release is about functionality."
 
Upon logging into PKR, the first thing you should notice about the new version of the software is a redesigned poker lobby.  There is now a simple view in addition to the classic view.  The classic view now has a filter section, making it easier to find the game you are looking for.  There is also a new "My PKR" section for easy access to your account, bonus information, and tournament tickets.
 
Recreational players are attracted to PKR because of the social and fun feel the software provides.  Many players who play for entertainment more than money will be pleased to know there are now new virtual drinks, avatar refinements, and a "look at cards" emote.

The previous oval tables at PKR have been replaced with a redesigned round table with improved information displayed.  The game speed is noticeably faster via a streamlining of player and dealer animations.  A few other features in the new version include chat being disabled when a player is all-in, the ability to view your folded cards by hovering over them, and action callouts being removed from the overview.

The new software release provides a new avatar editor design, updated avatar features, and a photo booth.  The "Friends" section was also redesigned, which is primarily popular for recreational players who like to stay on top of how their buddies are doing on the tables.
 
PKR 3.0 is not just about fun things for recreational players, but also a smoother-running poker client.  According to PKR, the new version of the software was designed to make "players' lives easier by enabling them to get to the action more quickly and to get even more enjoyment from their experience."
