However, Fusion seems to be a temporary solution for the platform, which is focused on diversifying the player\u2019s experience. This doesn\u2019t make the game one iota less fun, though.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pokerstars-fusion-from-announcement-to-release\">PokerStars\u2019 Fusion &#8211; From Announcement to Release<\/h2>\n<p>Back in June, a respected poker outlet first suggested that PokerStars was planning to wed Omaha and Hold\u2019em to create a new and exciting version of the game, which will allow players to experience the best of both games. <\/p>\n<p>The official confirmation came much later. Still, PokerStars just released their new version of the game, Fusion, and the past is the past, though it&#8217;s worth noting that the game had been worked on for quite some time prior to the first leak.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There&#39;s a brand new game coming to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStars?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PokerStars<\/a>, featuring a unique combination of Hold\u2019em and Omaha. Check out the details. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lz3AyQwLru\">https:\/\/t.co\/lz3AyQwLru<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PokerStarsBlog (@PokerStarsBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStarsBlog\/status\/1059950937551396864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>However, this didn\u2019t expedite PokerStars\u2019 internal scheduling, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/back-into-the-fold-pokerstars-unfold-to-be-withdrawn\/\">Unfold<\/a> hitting the shelves first in August. Nevertheless, players finally have the opportunity to experience the game first-hand.<\/p>\n<p>The game plucks what the developers consider to be the most interesting features of both games, with Fusion beginning as a traditional Texas Hold\u2019em game, but then changing to Omaha, with four final cards in a player\u2019s hand from which they have to construct their final play. <\/p>\n<p>The novelty of the version is that because of the more cards players now have access to, each street presents players with a greater choice and opportunities, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact odds of specific hands hitting the felt in the showdown.<\/p>\n<p>Fusion allows players to go up 80 big blinds, which means there is quite a bit of gaming that can be squeezed out of a single table, and with the $0.02\/$0.05 entry fees, the game is certainly quite accessible.<\/p>\n<p>The Stars Group efforts in poker have been quite commendable. However, the company is no stranger to expanding in other segments as well, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/725e7f7d4ac2421eb92e77345348db78\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">notably with a mobile sports betting app in New Jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"every-good-thing-has-to-come-to-an-end\">Every Good Thing Has to Come to an End<\/h2>\n<p>According to <strong>Severin Rasset, who is head of operations and innovation for the Stars Group<\/strong>, Fusion will not necessarily be here to stick for long, but the game will offer an alternative to players who are familiar with all the other formats and want a bit of excitement.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, PokerStars has focused on trying to develop new and elaborate gaming formats, which would eventually see the entire community re-focus their efforts on those. However, Mr. Rasset has suggested that the company is taking a new course whereby new products will now be advertised as experimental options that people can enjoy for a while.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Introducing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStars?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PokerStars<\/a> VR, \ud83e\udd7d a brand new free-to-play Virtual Reality poker game&#8230;: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a12pN65Fn6\">https:\/\/t.co\/a12pN65Fn6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x6qNmU3M9z\">pic.twitter.com\/x6qNmU3M9z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PokerStarsBlog (@PokerStarsBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStarsBlog\/status\/1042767646880673793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 20, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, PokerStars has been working on other exciting products, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerstars.com\/en\/blog\/2018\/introducing-pokerstars-vr-a-free-to-play-176300.shtml\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The announcement of PokerStars VR<\/a> has been one of its most promising endeavors recently.
