Yesterday Pokerstars through a post on their official website announced the official launch of Pokerstars VR, a new innovative and fascinating way to play poker in virtual reality.

Pokerstars VR is a sort of hybrid between poker and next-gen video games, a market segment that PokerStars is actively trying to attack.

PokerStars VR allows players across the world to play in a virtual poker room where avatars not only interact around the game, but can dress to impress, socialise, entertain, chat as if in the same room and even fight: think when an opponent breaks your aces with a pocket pair of 2 and starts jumping for joy, well in this case then you can probably strangle his throat without going to jail. They can do this while streaming shows or sport and enjoying a variety of virtual items and activities such as ordering food and drinks, sharing sushi, throwing items at each other, or even owning a pet donkey and smoking a cigar.

"PokerStars VR is a chance for us to take this amazing technology and bring something totally unique to poker players. Poker is about interaction. It's been bringing people together for well over a century. We're really excited to invest in the next generation of the game and to give players the opportunity to meet in a brand new virtual reality dimension."

That's what Severin Rasset, PokerStars' Director of Poker Innovation and Operations declared.

The game, at least in principle, will only be available to play money and players can choose to play from five locations including Macau 2050, The Macaus Suite, The Showdown Saloon (Red Redemption style), Monte-Carlo Yacht and The Void.

Which new words should be added to the VR poker lexicon?

It can be any word related to any action that can happen in Pokerstars VR.
