PokerStars players can now join in the fun as popular mini game previously only on Full Tilt is now available to play on desktop client and mobile app.

ONCHAN, Isle of Man, December 2016 – A popular new mini game that offers poker players fun chances to win big for a small price is now being launched on PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. (Nasdaq: AYA, TSX: AYA) brand.

The Deal, which was pioneered on sister site Full Tilt, is a quick-fire poker mini game where spending as little as 7 StarsCoin gives players the chance to instantly win cash prizes and get a shot at spinning the wheel for the progressive jackpot, which ranges from $25,000 upwards. Players can also buy-in for 70 StarsCoin for a chance to win larger prizes and a better chance of hitting the jackpot.

The Deal 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. StarsCoin and cash prizes are paid out based on the strength of the hand; the higher the hand ranking the better the prize. 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 them the chance to spin the wheel for a shot at the progressive jackpot. When the jackpot is struck anyone who has played The Deal in the last 12 hours wins a share of half of the jackpot!
