PokerStars launches Poker Dojo training app
Free tool available to UK and US players includes leader boards and levelling systems to drive engagement
PokerStars has released a free poker-training app that enables novice and experienced players to hone their skills.
Poker Dojo from the Isle of Man-based operator boasts three mini-poker games: Grid Poker, Strongest Hand and All-in or Fold.
Grid Poker involves selecting five cards on the grid to make a poker hand and score as many points as possible within the time limit.
With Strongest Hand, players pick the best hand out of three or rate your hand to score points, while All-in or Fold pits users against the clock whereby they fold until they feel their hand is strong enough to go all-in against an unseen hand.

Poker Dojo also includes leader boards, score history, levelling systems and rewards players with a free PokerStars single-table tournament voucher.
The training tool is currently available to download for those in the UK and US with iOS and Android devices. A web version is in the pipeline.
With online poker enjoying a revival of late due to government-enforced lockdowns, PokerStars is looking to cater to those discovering the game for the first time or those who want to brush up on their skills.
