PKR announced the forthcoming changes in a YouTube video posted late last week. At the heart of the new software are new environments, which will make the experience of playing on PKR even more unique than it currently is. Environments that PKR teased included a ship setting with a beach view, onlookers in swimsuits, and players wearing sunglasses. There's also a nighttime poolside setting in which the PKR characters are dressed up in cocktail party garb.A new Paris environment will also be rolled out in 2012 on PKR. In this one, the table is situated next to a bar with several onlookers having a drink nearby. Outside the back window is the familiar façade of the Eiffel Tower and several European-inspired paintings are hanging on the wall.
Also new at PKR are more emotions, which include a player rubbing his hands together in anticipation, a player using his "one time," a jubilant fist pump, a player flailing his hands in the air in frustration, and a person calling for silence. PKR's personas do a marvelous job of mimicking live play and the emotions add yet another element to a user's experience.
Brand new accessories will make their debuts as well. These include a laundry list of knickknacks including a panda bear, a birthday cake, a robot, a teddy bear, dice, a doughnut, an iPod, and even a piggy bank. Joining these new items are others like glass wear, wine glasses, pilsner glasses, and disposable coffee cups. They look eerily lifelike.You'll see players swirling their wine glasses and taking sips of their animated drinks. You won't really see this type of innovation, attention to detail, and realism on any other online poker room.
The new PKR hand replayer will also provide some buzz. Your hands are replayed just as if you were watching them on television and come complete with the familiar rewind, play, stop, and fast forward commands. A split screen shows a list of pots on one side and the replay itself on the other side so you can take a look back at critical hands. You can easily transfer PKR videos to YouTube to share them with your friends, backers, students, and family.
PKR will also include plenty of options for the number of seats at a table in its new version. If you want a four-seat table, PKR can provide it. The same goes for five seats, six seats, seven seats, eight seats, nine seats, and ten seats. Circular and oval tables are available in order to seat each player comfortably and each configuration features a big PKR logo in the middle.
Multi-tablers on PKR can now easily tile tables, resize tables, and shuffle through tables with the click of a mouse.If you sign up for PKR through PocketFives and deposit $10, you'll get an instant $5 bonus. Plus, you'll get one free month of PocketFives Training with the sign-up fee waived. Just remember to use the code POCKETFIVES15 when you create your account.
