Hello guys, I am anxiously waiting for Videoslots to launch the 3D poker software, I have noticed in many forums that many players are looking forward to playing again, the idea of bringing my avatar to the tables excites me, we have to create a community, guys let's understand how we want the return of 3D software, who like me can't wait? I'm there with my avatar SnowMan89 and you?

I will be honest, while PKR 3D poker was fun, I'm not really fussed if it comes back or not.

It made the game slower to play and was more of a novelty, and was more suited to the casual player, hardened poker players want to play faster and more hands per hour.

The one advantage of now over the past is that devices have far better processing power and faster connection speeds than previously so more people would probably be able to run it better, but I can't see any real incentive for a company to go 3D over 2D. bound to be more running costs for no real gain?

I agree on various points of your speech, but now the world of poker has changed, have you noticed that in 5 years so many players switch to slot casinos?, Videoslots has done something very smart, has its own casino circuit and bought pkr's 3D software, many players while doing tournaments can also switch to slots and then I definitely agree that now most pc's hold this software very well, then I think now players look very emotional aspect, love to bring your avatar like a game and modify it thanks to the various items, what do you think?

Do you think that Videoslots has its own circuit, you switch from poker to slots or play at the same time, I think it brings many players and traffic in general

Then not to underestimate a possible shared liquidity in online poker, many players to challenge each other from different nations, English, Italian, French, Spanish, Swedish, German and Portuguese, I think it would be a boom
 
How many more threads on this?

Admit defeat - although Videoslots have the software, they're clearly not inclined to do anything with it currently.

I had the right contest wrong, I think that here we talk about poker anyway if you take a tour on the various forums or on the pkr videos on youtube you can see that there is a community, everyone is waiting to play that software, is there a reason? in my opinion videoslots will launch it soon
 
3D poker would probably be popular and cool for teenagers, if it's for adults, don't see any reason to have anything disturbing for game itself. But kids probably will love to play with avatars and other stuff.
But have you noticed that poker is in free fall? I would do everything to bring a movement, now in the classic 2D it is no longer attractive, the guys who want to win and have fun are welcome, now there is a generation of gaming, graphics and fun players, if you can win even better money right?
 
If the audience is in free-fall, why would they want to invest money in a declining product?

Far simpler to chuck some low-RTP slots out with minimal investment and higher return.

Why not create a path that includes all three? 2D-3D poker room and slots with high rtp, each player chooses whether to play in 2D or 3D, and at the same time can play the slots, in my opinion Videoslots has made such a thought, you create a community and you have more traffic or am I wrong?
 
But why do it in the first place, when they can just licence the tables already provided by Playtech/Evolution et al?

If they thought the money was in it, they would've launched far quicker after acquiring the software. Now that software is likely out-dated and will require major updates for newer browsers, there's more risk and less reward.

I don't think they buy a product, pay a lot of money and then let it die, I think they have a serious idea and then launch it at the right time, maybe the shared liquidity?

Or simply I'm looking for something innovative to launch at the same time as the poker room, maybe something that can attract players, then not to be underestimated that in many countries you can't advertise, something obscene in my opinion.
 
Yeah I agree, I'm not bothered with this.

When I play poker I just want it quick and simple, PokerStars gimmick with throwing ice buckets and rockets which you can unlock was enough for me so I turned that off.
 
Maybe in a couple of years we will see virtual reality for some of the live games.
I think that could be kind of cool if done right.
I think for the moment VR is too much, especially for poker, after 30 min you are destroyed, imagine in a tournament, however what do you think of pkr's 3d software? have you ever played it
 
Nope, never tried it.
you have to create your avatar and you can customize everything from clothes to tone of voice, then at the table you can do at least 30 interactions such as talking or getting up from the table when you go all in, or inciting the opponent or intimidating

Not sure i would use any of those functions even if i had them available.
I get the idea, but i just think it sounds like a poor mans version of virtual reality.

well, obviously this software was launched in 2007 but still today there is nothing like it, indeed it is very avant-garde, while on the vr I am a bit skeptical, maybe in 5/7 years

It is also true that it has been updated until 2017 but in the various poker rooms there is nothing like it is a unique thing

I think it is an understatement to talk and compare pkr's 3D software with pokerstats' rocket and bucket launch, 3D software is a world apart, the goal is to win and play fast that's for sure, but the waiting time it is the same as all other poker rooms, but the 3D software is more immersive it really is a world apart, and like playing live

Have you seen the 3D poker software purchased from Videoslot casino?

Yes, I remember the days of yore when online poker was loads of fun, and there were innovative groups developing what PKR had. When the US got greedy and shut down the US facing poker sites, that killed that avenue of entertainment. US players make/made the bulk of poker players, and it was entertaining as hell being in the States and playing against Swedish players and visa versa.

That was then - this is now.

Now it's a industry that pumps out slot after slot - no innovation, nothing new, freaking astonishingly bad. Pinch me I wanna wake up. 2021 is nearly halfway over, and the ingenuity, creativity, and new technology is in a Covid coma me thinks.

Focusing on older players (those players who were at the tables more than a decade ago) is a big mistake. There needs to be something that Generation Z can relate to - they are the ones who will be at the tables in the next 5 years or so replacing the old wood so to speak. I discuss this in my Sept 2019 podcast starting at 4:26

Maybe the folks a videoslots can give us an idea where they are at on this.
 
Yes, I totally want PKR back - it was my second favourite animated avatar poker room.
There was another one a little bit before that called True Poker which was even more fun as the characters could be made to utter humorous comments...
I registered the username AustinPowers with an avatar that looked like him and was able to say many of his catchphrases, like "Yeah baby", "Oh behave!", "Crikey!" and so on... Hillarious :D

KK
 
OK all - I have added a poll to this thread and will give Videoslots a heads up - maybe they can give us some idea on where they are at with this.

Moved to the Online Casino section of the forum to get more exposure since it's an interesting question.
 
Fully accrdo, certainly the golden times have passed but as you said, we need to encourage the new generation, and this is very close to gaming, for this reason VR can certainly be the future, but it has its criticalities, while the 3D software in PKR style, it is still very avant-garde and certainly with tricks and some news, maybe a novelty to be launched to make the poker room more attractive can give an important momentum and take a new traffic of players, old and new generation

Thanks for the survey, I believe that software can combine old and new generation

There are so many players who want to bring back their avatar you have tables, I played them from 2009 until 2015, my avatar was DarrenGordon89

In this return I see a lot of potential, the first thing is finally something unique and different, there is nothing like the PKR-style 3D software, then maybe some interesting news comes out, often things pass but it is also true that they come back stronger than before, everything turns, come on guys, let's vote YES.

Come on guys vote:cheers:
 
I think I'd give away too much dosh playing on pkr and similar software over time.
Last time I got involved using the limited automatic insult/comment phrases available at the oush of a button on Ipoker it became such a war that I was folding way too many blinds pre and post in order to focus my attention on the real fight at hand. This wouldn't have been so bad had it not been only 3 players on the 6 player max table at the time and so 3rd player quietly sat there while these other two button bashing lunatics who seemed to have 0 interest in the game itself went at it, until we both snapped out of it and called a truce once we noticed that 3rd player had sat there quietly yet somehow doubled his stack without either of us remebering ever seeing a single turn card, let alone a river.

I have always opted for the most basic and lowest level of avatars/table graphics/animations etc available on whatever site I'd play poker at, though I will admit I've never actually even bothered trying the pkr software.
 
I recommend you to see pkr poker videos on youtube, of course the newest, that 3D software and tell me what you think
 
Videoslots probably bought it just to kill it off , there is no reason to have sat on it for this long after purchase.

It doesn’t take years to change a logo and set up a new server .....

It would be crazy to spend money on nothing, I think they have seen potential

Loved the last option, went for that. Who needs PKR when GG and PokerStars are dominating....

but pkr can not be compared to pokerstars as software or am I wrong? Have you ever seen if there is now something like this? nothing

Exactly, think these 3D pics could be cool for school kids but not a singe poker player I know (quite many already in this island) would be entertained by some 3D avatars and such things which have nothing to do with game itself.

As long game is fast and simple, there is no need to change off from GG (or Starts) and I can't imagine how some 3D cartoons would attract any players who play any bigger games than 0.10/0.20, to some micro games it could be possibly to get some new players who are happy for for cartoonish features but these kind of things just don't bring anything to game but only disturb it.

Also poker is making money from rake and people who play big, pay more rake and what faster games are running, more rake can be collected. You only make profit from poker % of money wagered through platform and these 3D avatars and hobby players don't bring in much dosh. Poker is not really that popular to people who just wanna gamble and press spin and see result, in poker you just don't really get even these rare wins if you are not good, you play in so small table that pots are not high or if you go in bigger ones, you get busted fast when some bit more skillfully and patient person transfer your stack to away from you.
 
Sounds like you voted for Bring it Back then ;)
 
In my opinion you have a distorted view of pkr's 3d software, in 2010 it had a traffic of at least 20,000 people online, you had to wait your turn at least 20 minutes to play cash
 
Hi all,

You are right, @BIRO89. We believe PKR is a great fit for our product, and we plan to add it in the future. Though, as we recently addressed in another PKR thread, we don't have any news to share just yet, unfortunately. Because of the interest from many old PKR enthusiast, we will make sure do make an announcement when we do.

Wishing you a nice afternoon.

Kind regards,
Team Videoslots
 
Great, great your interest and above all your vision, the only thing that needs an accelerated but thanks, I think you have a great software in your hands

Do you have any good reason for any pro to change over from GG or Pokerstars? People who actively play poker usually think quite rational and how to optimize your profits, can't imagine many to be interested of having 3D avatar or anything else which is not relevant for game itself.

It can be really pretty and great but I just can't see how that attract players from GG or Stars, main thing you need in poker is players on level you wanna play, when your level is bit higher, it's less and less relevant what kind of eye or ear candy there is, you just want these games rolling and play many hands per hour as possible.
 
FTR, BIRO89 and Lulupici (posts #41 and 42) are the same person. :rolleyes:

I believe and I am convinced that 3D software is a separate thing, pokerstars and gg personally give nothing to me, usual graphics, very boring, pkr is something different, a different community, you play, win and have fun and despair
 
Are you switching seats and posting in the forum?
we use the same pc, me, my sister and my brother, they also play poker and slots, I found your site and forum and I told them.

Pretty sure if there was a market for it VS would have launched it by now - there either still is but it's not big enough to make money from or there isn't. You don't sit on a cash cow for 4 years ;)

Unless it's an Avatar cow that can't feel pain.
In 2010, there were really at least 20,000 people online
