 PokerStars formally launched Zoom Poker, a fast action ring game format that gives players more hands in less time, providing a fun and challenging experience. The long period of beta is over and players can enjoy the game now at its full potential.
The launch follows a successful beta release in March that quickly grew in popularity as games and stakes were added. Within minutes of the beta being released the two available ‘pools’ of $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold’em were at capacity with 1,500 players in each.
During the course of the beta phase, more than 300 million hands of Zoom were dealt, and other pools with stakes ranging from $0.02/$0.05 up to $2.50/$5 were added, with many more thousands of players trying the fast-paced action. Zoom is also now available for Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and Five Card Draw.
Zoom for mobile devices
In conjunction with the release of Zoom for desktop, PokerStars also this week released Zoom for Mobile on the Android platform. Players of PokerStars.com, PokerStars.eu and PokerStars.net can now enjoy Zoom on Android devices. In addition to adding Zoom, the PokerStars Mobile app on Android now features improved graphics for Android tablets, improved ‘PLAY NOW’ button, scrollable lobby menus to ease navigation, improved search, a new auto-rebuy function, and various other improvements.
If you don't know what we are talking about here, here is an explanation:
In Zoom Poker players join a ‘pool’ or ‘group’ in their chosen game (Hold’em, Omaha etc) and stake level ($0.25/$0.50, $1/$2 etc), rather than choosing a specific table. The game then plays like a traditional ring game, with one major difference: in Zoom, as soon as a player folds their hand, they are instantly re-seated at another table with a new set of players from the same pool.
For players who really want to speed up their game, Zoom Poker enables players to enter the same pool up to four tables at a time. Playing Zoom Poker four tables at a time means players can see hundreds of hands more per hour than they would at normal ring game tables. What’s more, players can sit down at a total of eight Zoom tables across multiple pools at any one time, and will naturally never be seated at the same table as themselves.
