Leading poker room, PokerStars has announced the new innovation of ‘Home Games’ over the past couple of days and already looks to be a hit. The concept of Home Games is to allow friends and family play together in cash games, tournaments or sit and gos i
n formats they choose and with buy ins they set. Coupled with this are league tables so inter league rivalry will be apparent whether you play holdem, omaha or mixed games.
As with most things that Pokerstars either set up or get involved with, it looks set to be a huge hit with tens of thousands of players signing up to the idea in the first few days as it comes out of its BETA stages.
The free virtual private members club will offer users club management tools, club leader board, player statistics, game management tools, save favourite game set ups, game schedule, game results, custom tables and a full range of poker tables.
the release comes simultaneous to online poker rivals Full Tilts announcement of its multi buy in tournament feature, allowing users to buy into the same tournament and play up to four times. It is still too early to see what regulars will think of the innovative concept.
