What's New in Poker Games on the PokerStars Play App
Since last December, PokerStars Play has come up with loads of updates to improve the experience of the free casino and poker app for its U.S. users. The app provides customers with opportunities to practice their poker game for free, playing against other real people across the country in a fun, social gaming atmosphere. The Stars Group has continuously added to the poker offerings available on the app since its soft rollout, and we take a look here at how the poker offerings have developed.
Early Poker Additions and Updates
In December 2017, PokerStars Play added poker leagues for different skill levels to allow players to move up leaderboards to progress through the different league tiers. In February, they began to experiment with offering Live Games, which included streamed video of real-life dealers to give players a more realistic poker experience.
In April came a revamped system of poker challenges that presented poker players with multiple challenges each day. Players could complete challenges to win rewards, and complete all daily challenges to unlock a mystery bonus reward. Live Games were also rolled out and tested for iOS and Android at this time, and bonus VIP points and XP boosts were also introduced to help players climb the ranks with more vigor.
Back in May, the league leaderboards began awarding bonus chips to players who finished the season in the ��Safe Zone.�� The next month, Fast Track Goals were added to the leagues. Starting in June, players on the app could promote up to three times per season by completing both Fast Track goals, and finishing the season in the ��Promotion Zone�� of their respective division.
The July app release included additional league tiers to help keep the competition even at each level and provided a sneak peak of the upcoming ��Poker Star�� rank feature.
