PokerStars is proud to announce their latest addition to Team PokerStars, the Limit Hold’em superbot Cepheus. Earlier this month, the world learned that Cepheus has solved the game of heads-up Limit Hold’em.

Always at the forefront of innovation in online poker, PokerStars has clearly understood that while poker is a game of skill, recent trends have shifted focus towards chance-based gaming. This has threatened overall profitability to the company, but change is on the horizon thanks to the researchers at the University of Alberta, who created Cepheus. Seizing the opportunity to capitalize on the fact that the University researchers are essentially broke college students, PokerStars reached out to the team and purchased full rights to their bot.

Wins are Guaranteed!

CEO Daniel Borezall explained the move, stating, “PokerStars has had a history of being the #1 online poker site in the world. In order to keep that top spot, it was imperative that we devised a plan that would generate guaranteed wins for the company. When it was announced that Cepheus had solved the game of heads-up Limit Hold’em, we knew it would be a perfect fit for our company.”
