PKR is the clear leader in 3D online poker, and for players that have never tried it, suffice to say PKR brings a brand new playing experience, resembling more a modern video game than usual poker software.
Privately developed and not a part of any poker network, PKR offers pretty revolutionary software and indeed a new breed of poker room. And while the software is a lot bigger and more resource intensive, you won't mind at all– it's just that good. In fact, once you try the software, you may never want to play in another poker room again.
The graphics and overall feel of play at PKR has, for the most part, drawn a crowd of players who’s first focus is not strategy or skill but more the experience - resulting in a very fun and profitable poker environment full of inexperienced players. But don’t let the glossy look and "video game" feel of the software fool you - the money is real and a skilled player can easily find the games he is looking for.
All the graphics are displayed in real 3D and require a fairly new computer to work, but for those looking for the closest thing to playing in a real casino, there simply is no better experience. The software offers unrivaled customization, functionality and PKR even offers casino games for players wanting to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the poker table.
PKR currently spreads Hold'em and Omaha in Limit, No-Limit and Pot-Limit form, as well as both multi- and single-table tournaments. The traffic volume is relatively low at the real-money tables, as well as in tournaments, but growing quickly.
Real money player statistics as of January 2009 show 1,100 ring-game players during peak hours and 5,000 tournament players during peak hours.
