PokerStars seals The Deal with mini-game migration
Game previously only available on Full Tilt moves onto operator’s desktop and mobile app


PokerStars migrated mini game The Deal onto its desktop and mobile offering, previously only available on sister site Full Tilt.
The Deal is a quick-fire poker game which offers players the chance to win from a small stake from as little as 7 StarsCoin.
Players are dealt seven cards face down and are given the option to discard two, leaving a five-card poker hand which is then revealed to the player.
The progressive Jackpot is activated when a player makes either a Straight Flush in the 70 StarsCoin mode or a Royal Flush in the 7 StarsCoin mode, the highest ranked hands in a game of poker. These hands give players the chance to spin the wheel for a shot at the progressive jackpot.
“PokerStars players get the chance to play an exciting game, and Full Tilt players benefit from the additional liquidity that the PokerStars clients bring to the table,” Severin Rasset, director of poker innovation and operations at PokerStars, said.
“It’s sure to mean that the progressive jackpot builds up at an even faster rate and is triggered more frequently.”
Earlier this week, former Amaya chief exec David Baazov abandoned his takeover of the company after “certain Amaya shareholders” demanded too high a price.
