Poker

Despite the unclear origin of the poker, it is the most famous casino game in the world. There exist a lot of poker variations - Texas Holdem, Omaha High/Low, 7 card stud, Pay Gow poker and others. In its fundament, poker is a vying game, in which you play against the other players. But let me tell you more about its history. It is believed that the ancestor of the poker is a Persian game, known as As Nas. It was played with 25 cards in five different suits. The hand ranking that was used was almost the same as that one we use today. That is the only thing that these games have in common. Furthermore, in 17 and 18 century the French game Poque and the German one Pochen were very popular in Europe. In comparison with the poker we will see that the common thing between them is the usage of tricks, known as bluffing. No matter what the true is, the poker that we know today is a developed and changed variant of some ancient game. Today, people do not think about the history of poker. They just want to play it. This exciting game can give you a lot of emotions.
