PKR.com is one of the newest online poker rooms and the first real 3D poker site. This software is as close to playing live in a casino as you will find online. The 3D graphics are video game quality and the added features give you unique options only found at PKR.
PKR is by far the most advanced of all online poker rooms. The avatars are fully customizable and you choose every aspect including voice, facial features, hair style, clothes, shoes, hats, sunglasses, football shirts, tattoos, body piercings, headphones and so much more. You can also use your PKR points to purchase bonus clothing and accessories.
At the tables you can use the Emote Control system to cry, clap, stand up when you go allin, do chip tricks and much much more.
The gameplay is as smooth as a video game. The only problem with the software is that it will not work properly on older computers. The graphics chew up alot of memory, do a fast video card is required or the game will get a bit choppy or not load at all. PKR does give you the option to load the software with minimum specs.
