New animations, sound effects and interactive elements are just the start of what players can expect from the new game engine behind the PokerStars software.
Quietly, behind closed doors, online poker giant PokerStars has been readying one of its largest software upgrades in years. Now, months after pokerfuse first revealed it was in the works, the company is at last rolling it out across its markets—and finally willing to talk about the update.
Codenamed Aurora, pokerfuse first uncovered the existence of new image assets back in December that suggested a major table redesign was in the works. Files and sound effects hinted at new, graphically rich table themes, including one for Christmas, and a rewrite of the old Saloon theme.
