The Zoom fast-fold game is finally back on PokerStars’ New Jersey-Michigan network and the operator is running a new promotion to attract more players into the game.
Zoom games initially went live on the network on January 23 but PokerStars had to remove them due to technical issues. The team worked to promptly fix the problem and the games were then redeployed in the same week.
How Zoom Works
Zoom is a fast-paced poker format where players immediately get seated at another table the moment they fold their hands. To keep the game running, there must be an adequate number of players. This is to prevent long pauses between folding one hand and getting transferred to another table.
According to reports, Zoom wasn’t attracting sufficient traffic after it was reintroduced on the NJ-MI network.
Zoom Week Promo
Always to the rescue, PokerStars launched an early bird promo to boost player participation in the Zoom games. The operator will award double rewards points to the first 10 players to join a Zoom pool. They will get 2x points until 10 minutes after the 10-player pool is reached.
Zoom Week runs until February 15, but PokerStars could decide to extend the promo if it proves effective in driving traffic.
