In other news, a member of staff from another of the UK’s leading gaming firms, PKR, has explained that poker is far from based on luck.

The debate as to whether poker is a game of luck has been rolling on for some time and many arguing that it’s a game of skill are at the forefront of legalizing online poker in the United States.

Erika Schwartz Poole, marketing manager at PKR Technologies, said: “As there is no house edge, players play against real people and can use skill, psychology with an element of luck to help them improve their game.”

She also went on to say that online sites are a perfect starting point for anyone looking at hustling some serious game.

PKR Technologies are the UK’s only licensed poker software developer and are behind the popular company of the same name.
