A brief history of poker

The origins of poker are much debated. One theory suggests that it dates as far back as 10th Century China when the earliest playing cards are believed to be from. Most historians seem to agree that the 18th Century French game Poque and/or As-Nas from Persia are the inspirations behind how we got the game many of us know and love today.

‘Poque’ translates as ‘time’ and some think that the word ‘poker’ stemmed from a simple inability in English speakers to pronounce it in French. The game was played with either a 32-card deck or the 52-card deck we are all familiar with today. Poque had a number of other variations which we wouldn’t necessarily recognise from modern day poker. Poker as we know it really emerged and became a worldwide hit once it had broken the United States in the late 19th Century.

With the dawn of a gambling establishments and card rooms in saloons, the game rapidly garnered interest from those who like a little flutter. The complex game balances luck with skill, which has made many millionaires out of modern day poker players.
