PokerStars continues to be one of the fastest-growing brands in the online gaming market, thanks to its ability to successfully branch out into arenas other than poker. We have seen PokerStars launch casino games and sportsbetting services and now the company will be taking a leap into the social gaming world, launching along slots alongside its existing free-to-play poker app.

Working together with Imperus Technologies, PokerStars will release slots on the new ‘Jackpot Poker by Pokerstars’ social gaming app. It will feature a selection of Akamon slots, a leading social games developer, starting with:

  • Fire Wheel 7s: a classic poker machine that offer up exciting gameplay
  • Monte Carlo: an online pokie with a classy theme and expanding wild symbols
  • Salsa Nights: an online pokie with special wilds and free spins

Akamon has made a partner for PokerStars, as the company has also seen tremendous growth in recent years. During 2015, Akamon helped Imperus Technologies by generating at least 27% of its revenue and reaching an audience of over 500 million users around the world. As such, the new Jackpot Poker by Pokerstars App will be well-equipped with a wide range of slots games that will attract plenty of players.

“The agreement not only illustrates the popularity of our slot game titles but also shows our enormous potential to the rest of the industry as a way to increase social gaming market share,” says Imperus President, Vicenç Marti. There is no word yet on when the new slots games will be rolled out on PokerStars’ social gaming platform. However, we will keep you posted when it happens.

This is a great opportunity for poker fans to branch out an explore some great online pokies and slots games. "Players have told us they want the ability to play slots while enjoying our jackpot tournaments and cash games," says Lloyd Melnick, PokerStars’ Director of Social.

"The addition of Akamon's slots to Jackpot Poker by PokerStars is the next evolution of Jackpot Poker, and we will continue to add the features and capabilities our players want." This certainly leads the way for even more expansion by the PokerStars in the social gaming realm. We may soon see even more online slots available on the platform, as well as various table games for the entertainment of online poker players.
