Live casino gaming has quickly become a top category in the online gambling industry. From online poker sites to casino operators, live casino gaming gives players the opportunity to compete in table games as they happen, feeling as if they are actually at the casino. Many online gambling operators are adding such gaming options to diversify their products, giving players more options for gaming. PKR is the latest online poker room to add Live Casino to their lineup.
PKR, the only 3D poker operator in the online poker industry, has partnered with Evolution Gaming and will be using the brand’s Live Casino content on their poker site. PKR launched the live casino gaming to provide traditional casino gaming to online poker players and turn their site into a multi-product provider. The new content can be enjoyed via mobile device or desktop computer.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, PKR wanted to give players something new and exciting to enjoy. The brand is no longer focused on being just a poker site but want to offer something more, with multiple products in their lineup. With the Live Casino platform, PKR will be providing Live Blackjack, Live Casino Hold’em and Live Roulette. Three more titles will also be launched as part of the Evolution Gaming suite of content.
Back in the spring, PKR decided to move their players to the Microgaming Poker Network, otherwise known as MPN. The change was a big one but PKR will still provide a 3D poker product, a noticeable difference between PKR and other competitors. Players now have more competition as well as a wider selection of tournament gaming with larger prize pools. The partnership with Microgaming and PKR is to include a strategy for growth and diversification. In the process, PKR has relaunched their casino brand as well as created a new online slots brand known as PKR Vegas.
PKR is shaking things up and changing what they are normally known for to try and diversify their brand. The brand launched a new Jackpot Sit & Go option back in July and became the first online poker site to provide this type of gaming on the Microgaming Poker Network. PKR is known for many firsts and continue to come up with new and exciting ways to offer gaming that is fresh and different for players of their sites.
Chris Welch is the CEO for PKR who commented on the recent launch of Live Casino by stating that online poker is still PKR’s DNA but given the record casino revenue generated over the past year, they consider the launch of Live Casino a really exciting development in the history of the brand. Welch further stated that PKR is planning to continue the radical transformation of their business and that changes are still planned in accordance with the continued growth that will take place within the company, taking the brand to the next level.
Welch has hinted at more products that will be launched that will fit into the brand’s new concept in the coming months. The brand went live with six total titles from Evolution Gaming as part of the Lie Casino experience with each title now available at PKR via mobile or desktop device.
Players can take part in the new live casino gaming which includes a poker option. Games are played just as if you are at the casino, with a live dealer in place. Interact with fellow players as well as the dealer while cards are dealt and hands are won.
