ONLINE POKER AND MUSIC COMBINE

15 June 2007

PKR.com bands together with T in the Park

Scotland’s "T in the Park Festival" features some of the hottest acts in UK music at one of the biggest annual outdoor festivals in Europe. This year the PKR.com online poker company will be introducing the audience to something a little different by showcasing online play on casino games and poker for the first time at a music festival.

“Poker is the new rock and roll. So this is perfect for our user base – young and active people who love to have a great time and be social,” says Simon Prodger, marketing director of PKR.com.

As part of the deal, PKR.com will bring a little Las Vegas glitz to the event with the world’s first ever play or fun money casino at a festival. Located next to the Futures Stage, the PKR Fun Casino will give festival goers the chance to try their hand at games such as roulette, blackjack and Texas Hold’em poker.

The first 5 000 visitors will receive a goodie bag with gifts worth over GBP15 and 500 lucky players will also receive cool spot prizes. PKR promotional girls will be on hand throughout the event to help players to sign up and avoid the queues and take photos that will be posted on the PKR website after the event.

Last year T in the Park earned the ‘Best Major Festival’ title at the UK Festival Awards. This year Kinross will be welcoming an impressive range of performers including The Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon, Avril Lavigne and many more. Tickets to this year’s event, running 6th-8th July, sold out in just 40 minutes but PKR.com will be giving away a total of 30 tickets through special poker tournaments and giveaways.
