3D-poker

When playing experience matters

There are not many 3D-poker rooms represented online when I write this article and the 3D poker room market has just just begun offering new playing experiences for online poker players.

One common thing for the 3D poker rooms I have seen until now is that it is quite hard to play multiple tables. On the other hand - playing only one table is so much more fun!

Here are some extra features you will get when playing 3D poker:

• The possibility to design your own avatar. Change the look of your face, body type, clothes etc etc.
• The possibility to see the poker table from different angles.
• The possibility to give the camera have plenty of room for manoeuvres which will make the game look like a TV broadcasting. This feature is maybe more fun for observers as it is nearly impossible to focus on the game. And if you are going to play with real money this feature isn't recommended.
• The possibility to make chip tricks, show emotions and talk. ( This feature doesn't apply to all 3D poker rooms I have found).

A closer look at a 3D poker room ( PKR )

This is one of the more natural views which makes it quite easy to play. Please pay attention to how your hole cards are shown - just like in a TV broadcasting! Of course everything is also animated, which gives great feeling. Too bad it also makes it hard to play more than one table.

The flop is shown in a square down to the left on the screen. For some camera angles it would be nearly impossible to focus on the game if the hole cards weren't shown this way.

Pictures above : This is how it can look like if you let the camera move freely. It is gives a great feeling of action, but it is hardly playable... I would definitely recommend a fixed camera view. At least if you play real money Hold'em.
