History now known throughout the game world is replete with numerous prospective dates and places of origin. One thing we know for sure poker for over 500 years, and his current views, he is obliged to many ancient card games.
The first mention of an exciting game similar to Poker, refer to 1526 in Italy and Spain were very fond of playing "primero", and the same game in France called "la prime". Each player gave up three cards, after which the rates were announced in a circle, and finally won one of the combinations, three or two cards of equal value, or three suited cards.
By the early eighteenth century English prototype of poker was called "Bragg» (brag). German similar game called "pochspiel". And French was called "poker" as well. And now in the hands of the players gave up five cards and bluffing became one of the most important elements of the game.
It is believed that the modern name of the game "poker" comes precisely from the name of the French card fun of the eighteenth century; however, some dictionaries refer us to the Indian "pukka" and even slang for pickpockets. By the way, this latest version of the origin of the word "poker" is to be mentioned. It was one of the first new extremely popular games, described by Jonathan Green during his trip to Mississippi in 1834. More than once he watched the sailors fought with enthusiasm in the cards, so one day decided to ask what kind of game.
It was attended by 2-4 people and a deck of cards consisting of aces, kings, queens, jacks, and tens (i.e., a total of 20 cards). Green dubbed this fun card "game cheats" because time to see how it was important to use cunning and bluff. There are other versions of the origin of this card game. For example, according to one of China's first century of our era, much like the poker game has appeared as a result of the evolution of dominoes, and other states that direct ancestor of poker - the Persian game of "As Nas", in which five people suffered the fate of five suits with 25 cards.
Anyway, in the nineteenth century, French colonists, settling at first in the territory of Louisiana, brought poker into America. The game took on a country of unprecedented popularity, which at one time even considered the national card game. In the mid-nineteenth century, has played a poker deck of 52 cards, and its rules have changed dramatically.
Start a return of "prodigal" of poker in Europe, refers to 1870, when the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, Colonel Jacob Schenck, the game presented in the court of Queen Victoria. The colonel made a detailed description of the rules of poker is a very interested queen. But not if "game cheats" was destined to get popularity among Europeans: the mission belonged to the American soldiers, members of the First World War.
In the twentieth century was born poker club, which has now more than a dozen varieties, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Five Card Draw, and Seven Card Stud Poker. The most common of these is the Texas Hold'em - the first card game, according to classic American legend, which appeared in the town of Robstown, Texas. From Robstown Hold'em moved to Dallas, and in the gambling Mecca of the United States, the famous Las Vegas, he was brought notorious in the world of poker Doyle Brunson and Amarillo Slim.
Now Texas Hold'em - a game in a tournament official World Series of Poker (WSOP). For the first time this championship was held in 1970 and now annually attracts thousands of fans in the walls of Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas.
