Initially offering the No-Limit Hold\u2019em version of poker, the multiplayer game is currently in a closed beta with around one hundred invitees playing and testing the game using Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Steam.<\/p>\n<p>The new product has been previewed last week at EuroGamer in Birmingham, UK\u2019s biggest games event. Developed with Lucky VR, the game features intuitive controls for easy gameplay, voice command controls, integrated Twitch broadcasting, video streaming and social media integration on Oculus Rift for those who wish to play and stream.<\/p>\n<p>Severin Rasset, Director of Poker Innovation and Operations at PokerStars, said: \u201cPokerStars VR is a chance for us to take this amazing technology and bring something totally unique to poker players.
