PKR launches iPad poker app

LONDON -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Next-gen poker room PKR launched its first real-money poker app for the iPad last week. The tablet version of its award-winning poker software features fully rendered 3D avatars and environments, retaining many of the unique features which sets PKR apart from its rivals.

The poker app is available as a free download from the Apple App Store, with players able to participate in real-money ring games and Sit & Gos, or try the game for free via practice tables. This initial version is available to U.K. players, with the introduction of multi table tournaments and a raft of additional features anticipated in the future.

COO Leon Walters led the team responsible for the development of the new app. “I’m very pleased to have launched the poker app after several months of hard work by the team. This release represents one of the most significant steps forward for PKR since our inception in 2006. We aim to quickly follow this first phase of our efforts to reach the growing mobile poker audience with iPhone and Android versions.”

The new poker apps will form part of a suite of mobile games alongside existing mobile roulette and Blackjack app, whose downloads have soared during PKR’s recent U.K. TV advertising campaign.
