A lot of people have been checking out the free beta version of PokerStars’ fast moving new Zoom Poker game, and it looks like it is almost ready to become a fully fledged real cash beta very soon.
For anyone who hasn’t tried Zoom Poker yet perhaps the best comparison is with the Rush Poker product which was available at Full Tilt Poker until it closed down a while back. The early indications are that the free beta stage of the Zoom game went very well and that with a few relatively minor adjustments the cash game should be up and running by the middle of March.
A Replacement for Rush Poker?
One of the changes which is going to get made is that of allowing a player to fold but to stay at the table and see how the hand finishes before they look to play another game. The rival version which we mentioned – Rush Poker – is no longer available but it was especially popular with players who want a quick game on their mobile device, and it will be interesting to see whether Zoom Poker manages to expand that same market or will draw its customers from elsewhere.
We expect to see a lot of people giving it a try as soon as it moves onto the next stage, and for a fast and fun game of poker the Zoom Poker product sounds like it could be just the ticket.
