History of Poker – The Godfather of Card Games

HISTORY OF POKER

So let’s travel back to the time, when the game of poker – the king of card games, was invented. The origin of poker, however, seems unclear. There are many stories that revolve around this game. It’s a common belief that poker games online dates back to the time when Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden. Also as per history, a card game was played of 52 cards in the year 1377. If we dig deeper, this game is said to be developed from the French game called “Poque” (known as the mother of modern poker). It was the national game of France and on the arrival of French Colonials in Canada, the fame of poker game began to spread worldwide.

Historians say, the origin of this game was prior to 10^th century, when Emperor Mu-Tsung and his wife played a domino-card game on the occasion of New Year’s Eve. This game was said to have blended elements of poker and mahjong. While in the 12^th and 13^th century, the Egyptians were enthusiastic about playing cards and 16^th century Persians invented Ganjifa (also known as a set of traditionally hand-painted treasure cards). Also, there was a historic and popular Persian game named “As Nas” which was similar to poker. The history of poker is much more than what meets the eye. Around the same time, a Spanish card game “Primero” became popular. This game involved three cards being dealt, to all those players who shall bluff or raise bets while having poor hands. This instance of bluffing in a card game is similar to that of in poker.

Simply put, the history of poker is an amalgamation of Chinese, Egyptian and French elements.
