Three-dimensional poker giant PKR has announced a new partnership with GTECH G2, an interactive gaming software and services provider. This fresh deal will allow users of the popular PKR system to enjoy a wide variety of the company’s instant-play mini and side games.

Currently, PKR is offering 20 different minigames to their users. Most popular among the GTECH entries are Triple Chance Hi-Lo, Casino Dice, and Aces High. There are also three Bar-X games, a few selection of slots, and several keno variants. Each of these will be available to players already sitting at the poker tables, which will help kill some of the down time between hands. It’s a great way to win a bit of extra cash while not engaged in a pot.

“We’ve found that many poker players enjoy side games as a great way to pass the time when they’re between hands or waiting for a tournament table to fill up,” said Malcolm Graham, who serves as the CEO of PKR. “We chose G2’s games because they are simply some of the best performing games available.

“We’re sure that providing top-quality instant-play and instant-win miniature games will increase our customers’ playing time and increase player value.”

PKR is the latest in a long line of companies who now employ the services of G2. Major corporations such as Ladbrokes, Bwin, and Unibet count themselves among the more than 40 sites on the company’s impressive client list.

“Side games provide a significant revenue stream for both our commercial iGaming clients and lottery operators that offer games alongside their primary product,” says William Scott, GTECH G2′s Commercial Vice-President.

“We’ve made a significant investment in developing a catalogue of games and back-end systems to integrate them with other iGaming products.”
