Eye-catching Software

888.com’s proprietary software is known for its sleek design, luxurious look and feel, and ease of use.  You can choose to download Casino-on-Net and benefit from the full casino experience that they offer, or you can play directly in the browser if you find yourself in a place where you can’t download.

Impressive game selection

888.com’s virtual casino lobby offers you easy access to all the popular card and table games, including Roulette, BlackJack, Baccarat and Craps.  They’re so into casino games that they even created one of their own: Crazy BlackJack, which is basically BlackJack with lots more betting possibilities and a huge Jackpot that you won’t want to miss.

You’ll also find a great range of graphic themed Video Slots featuring everything from Hollywood’s sexiest blonde and Santa Clause, to medieval knights and the sport of rugby.   Their Classic Slot machines feature some of the most attractive Jackpots on the market, with the Millionaire Genie and Royal Diamonds just waiting to make somebody rich.  You’re also sure to find some very impressive Video Poker paytables, plus a Power Poker machine where you can play up to 50 hands at a time!

888.com is constantly updating its range of games.  Just recently they added a whole new “Extra games” arena, offering fast paced betting on a whole bunch of new themes.

Gaming options

What’s so great about 888.com is that it combines all the live casino action you’re looking for, with the small but significant comforts that only online technology can offer.

For example, the autoplay feature let’s you decide how many spins you want the computer to for you at the Roulette tables or the Video Slot machines.  Just click on the Autoplay button, choose the number of automatic spins and let the machine take it from there.

You can also shoot Craps in your pyjamas while conducting a very dignified conversation with a person from another continent betting next to you, but that’s another story all together…

Software Summary

PKR runs on privately developed software and is not a part of any poker network. The software offers breathtaking graphics and customizability, giving the player an experience that is as close to real casino play as possible.

The software comes, for obvious reasons, as a download client only, and only works on the PC platform. Modem users shouldn’t bother downloading it though, since it takes up over 600 MB on the hard drive.

The playing experience is awesome, and all the usual functions are there, except for the annoying fact that pre-flop view percentage is missing from the lobby.

The software allows for play at up to four tables simultaneously and offers a great mini-view function where three tables can be viewed together with the main table, all in the same window. In all, the software is power consuming, slow, and space consuming – and just amazing!

Statistics

The data and statistics functions in the PKR software allow you to classify your opposition during play, and the lobby supplies vital table statistics like viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands played per hour.

The hand history functions for PKR are good, with the option to both look at your private hand history in the software and go through hands played in a session right at the table.

Multi-Table

The latest version of the PKR software supports play at four tables simultaneously, and multi-table play usually runs effortlessly, although a little slow.

PKR is decently suited for multi-table play, with somewhat slow software but a great mini-view function that allows for three small and one large active table to be viewed at the same time.

The tables are resizable to full screen and all graphics and sound functions are customizable for the best individual experience.

Graphics

The graphics of the PKR software are totally amazing, and most users are blown away the first time they play. Graphics-wise, there is nothing on the market that even comes close to PKR, with amazing customization and superb 3D effects making the software simply the best out there.

The table functions are easy to learn and well-oriented, and the cards are big and easy to see. Players can also view the table from any position. Tables and software can be made to fit full screen for larger text, and the graphics, sounds and functions can all be customized.

Special Features

The PKR software offers the basic features players expect and a large number of inventive ones. Players can “peek” at their hole cards just like in live play; avatars have unique mannerisms; players can win bracelets for their avatar; and the graphics are, all-around, completely amazing.

There is also a very good hand history for any session right at the table and a great mini-view feature for multi-table play.
