Poker is the name of variation of card games whose origins remain largely unknown. Some historians believe that poker may have come from another game called ‘As Nas’, which was played in Persia during the 16th century. Alternatively, it is also argued that poker may have been created in China as far back as 900 A.D. No matter what has been said everyone seems to agree its a game that has been around for ages involving the art of gambling.

Poker has a history of being played in America’s first casino that was located in New Orleans in 1822. From the very first game, poker was played with a lot of bluffing and gambling, and the game was often full of cheaters and collusion. Accordingly, poker has become synonymous with legends from the ‘Wild West’ where gambling didn’t take place unless you had your gun at the ready and your back to the wall.

During its early days poker was played with only 20 cards. The game increased to 52-card packs during the 1830s. It is believed that this addition was to encourage more gambling players, extend the ‘flush’ and have enough cards left over for the ‘draw’. During 1875 the ‘wild’ card appeared and along with it came the recognition of the different poker variations including Jack Pots, Stud and Draw.

By the 20th century, poker was a gambling game played throughout the world. However, it wasn’t until the United States first legalized gambling in 1931, that the casino became an official part of the gambling landscape. Ever since poker has steadily increased in popularity.

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.
