PKR launches real-money mobile poker app

This month the 3D online poker operator, PKR, launched their new real-money poker app. The app was released for the iPad and iPhone and is currently available to UK customers.

This launch now means that PKR has real-money mobile apps for Poker, Blackjack and Roulette.

Development of the mobile poker app took time because PKR needed the mobile version to meet the same requirements of their desktop poker client.

A PKR spokesperson had the following to say about the launch. "We couldn't be any more psyched about launching our real money poker on mobile. It really is our 'monster hand' and it's awesome to see so many downloads already. If you're jetting off on holiday but need to wait around in the airport for three hours before the flight - you can just whip out the iPhone and enter a Sit & Go. That's probably the coolest thing for us and the app's only going to get better over time."

The mobile app went through rigorous beta testing in order to raise the quality of the app and fix as many bugs as possible. The app allows players to play Texas Holdem, Pot-limit Omaha and Omaha Hi-Low. Players can play both Sit & goes and cash games on the app.

Players can use the built-in chat feature to communicate with other players and have over 40 different avatars to choose from. PKR also included chip trick animations, and over 20 different playing environments inspired by PKR's desktop poker client.
