This will be the first time that this operator will permit players to compete in games without usernames, and there will definitely be an interesting reaction to the games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anonymous poker tables were first introduced in 2014, when\nthey were launched by Unibet. Winamax followed suit shortly after. Now,\nPokerStars will be joining in, which the operator believes will help to thwart\ncollusion among players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While anonymous tables also have the potential to prevent\ncheating, they are also likely to make games a bit busier. When players cannot\nbe identified by their usernames, there is more of a chance that they\u2019ll feel comfortable\nplaying looser. As a result, you might see more players involved in hands and\nbigger pots when playing at PokerStars\u2019 new Stealth tables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Players will still be able to view hand histories<\/strong> with usernames attached, however. These will become available 24 hours after the hand is played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason PokerStars has made Stealth hand histories available with screen names is to help ensure that players still feel safe and secure. Hand histories are commonly used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneypokersites.com\/news\/partypoker-closes-94-more-bot-controlled-accounts-in-april\/\">identify bots<\/a>, so players will still be able to do so in order to eliminate cheaters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars will be keeping a close eye on the activity at its\nnew Stealth tables. The operator wants to ensure that it continue to provide\nplayers with a top-quality online gaming experience without compromising their\nsafety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"also-new-from-pokerstars-spin-go-flash\">Also New from PokerStars: Spin &amp; Go Flash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the second new offering that was announced by PokerStars this month, after <strong>the launch of Spin &amp; Go Flash<\/strong>. This new tournament format provide players with the chance to take past in fast-paced tournaments with amazing prizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original Spin &amp; Go tournaments have three-minute levels and starting stacks of 500 chips. Spin &amp; Go Flash ups the ante with just <strong>one-minute levels and 300-chip starting stacks<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the tournament gameplay will remain the same. Buy-ins from $1 to $25 are available, and the prize pool is drawn randomly. The <strong>first-place prize can be anywhere from two-times to 1000-times the buy-in<\/strong> while second and third places will receive 10% and 8% of the prize pool, respectively. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Spin &amp; Go Flash and Stealth are going to have a big\nimpact on players at PokerStars. They are two totally different offerings, but\nthey are sure to deliver great gaming experiences for players on the site. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PokerStars has recently announced its plans to test anonymous tables.
