Poker is categorized as a card game which is popularly considered as ‘Game of chance’. In a poker game, the betting must be done at the beginning by each and every player. Then, the player who has the possibility to win the game will put money into the pot. This betting system has attracted many people towards the game of poker. In poker, the moves of the players and a certain amount of psychology usually determine the result of a game.

The history of poker and the origin of the word “Poker” are still the matter for a debate. The poker closely resembles to the German game Pochspiel that was used to play during 15th century. The Persian betting game, As Nas, is also considered to be the origin of the poker game. However, in 1990, it was revealed that this game was a version of the French game called Poque. The common belief is that the word “Poker” was taken from either the Irish Poca or the French Poque. Some people see the origin of poker combined with the game of Primero in Renaissance Era and the French game called Brelan. Since the modern poker game is played with cards, these above theories were rejected. The above earlier mentioned games were being played with other things but not cards. According to the latest the theory, this game was started in the early or mid-1700’s around Mississippi River Region. Then it spread to the entire region of America. In 19th century, the several developments in poker that took place paved the foundation for the commercial gambling.

Did you know that …

... the first mechanical slot machine was the Liberty Bell, invented in 1895 by car mechanic, Charles Fey (1862-1944) of San Francisco?

The Liberty Bell slot machine had three spinning reels. Diamond, spade, and heart symbols were painted around each reel, plus the image of a cracked Liberty Bell. A spin resulting in three Liberty Bells in a row gave the biggest payoff, a grand total of fifty cents or ten nickels.

The original Liberty Bell slot machine can still be seen at the Liberty Belle Saloon & Restaurant in Reno, Nevada.
