Poker is a popular card game in which players with fully or partially
concealed cards make wagers into a central pot. The history of Poker is
thought to have evolved over more than 10th centuries from various
games, all involving the basic principals of ranked card or domino
combinations and the use of ‘bluffing’ to deceive opponents.
Poker was first invented by the Chinese sometime before 969 A.D, when
The Emperor Mu-tsung is reported to have played "domino cards" with his
wife on new years eve.
Egyptians in the 12th and 13th centuries are known to have used a form
of playing cards, and in 16th century Persia “Ganjifa” or “Treasure
Cards” were used for a variety of betting games. A Ganjifa deck
consisted of 96 elaborate cards, often made of paper thin slices of
ivory or precious wood. The Persians played “As Nas” which utilized 25
cards, rounds of betting and hierarchical hand rankings.
A French game named “Poque” and a German game named “Pochen” became very
popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, both developed from the 16th
century Spanish game called “Primero” which involved three cards being
dealt to each player. Bluffing, or betting high stakes whilst holding
poor cards to deceive opponents, was an integral part of the game.
Primero dates back to 1526 and is often referred to as “poker’s mother”
as it is the first confirmed version of a game directly related to
modern day poker.
