PKR releases new 2.08 software

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 Posted by Unknown , , No comments

It has been anticipated for quite some time and 3-D Poker provider PKR has finally released a new software update that should help all players that tend to play multiple tables. So far the tables used to spawn in the same window, but now you can open up to 9 tables at the same time and each one shows in a separate window. They can get cascaded, tiled, re-sized or simply arranged wherever you want them, which is definitely an important improvement.

Another "fun" tool to cater to recreational players are the virtual drinks at the tables, that can be purchased with PKR Points and very much remind of the early days years ago on Paradise Poker. Other features include a new 'My Seat' camera angle, a revamped table chat panel and improved emote controls, upon first test though the software appeared to be a bit slow (keep in mind it that the update was just launched today) and has been hogging the CPU quite a bit still.

The upcoming weekend offers two special events of the Global Gaming Events with a $500 Freeroll at 3pm EST on July 21st and a $5.00 + $.50 Buyin with $2,500 added on July 22nd, where the winner of the Buy-In also receives a Masters $100k Guaranteed Tournament Ticket bonus prize valued at $270. Password for both tournaments: GGEPKR

If you don't have an account yet on PKR (Non US), you can sign up through Pokerspace and receive 30% Rakeback paid monthly to your player account.
