PKR, known for its 3D poker software and player community, has teamed with Microgaming Poker Network and will also launch an online casino brand and a new Vegas slots brand, both using the latest Microgaming games.
PKR becomes the first operator to join the Microgaming Poker Network while retaining its signature software, a move made possible by Microgaming’s Babelfish API technology, the company said in a press release.
“The opportunity to connect our unique 3D poker software to a popular network and enjoy the best of both worlds means we can dream bigger once again,” said PKR CEO, Chris Welch. “With our software and community allied to Microgaming’s advanced products, poker liquidity and proven track record, this is the perfect match.”
PKR Casino will get a revamp with instant-play browser games, a desktop download and native iOS and Android apps. The newly created PKR Vegas – instant-play, html5 and flash games available in browser – takes the UK operator in a new direction, the release said.
Meanwhile, Microgaming also announced an agreement with Aspire Global to add the company’s Quickfire product to the Malta-based online operator offerings.
Aspire Global will go live with the Quickfire platform, adding Microgaming’s titles to its existing content portfolio and enabling its white label partners, and their players, to enjoy games such as Game of Thrones, Thunderstruck, Terminator 2 and many more. Aspire Global and its partners will also gain access to Quickfire’s promotional tools (Quickfire iQ) such as Achievements, Bet Settings and Free Games, the company said in a release.
“We believe that the combination of Microgaming’s specialty in creating popular games, together with Aspire Global CRM and analytics capabilities, will significantly boost our players experience and value, especially within our mobile solution,” said Shmulik Segal, VP Product at Aspire Global.
