The video poker machine has been without doubt one of the most popular gambling machines in existence throughout the years. 5 card poker is the base of video pokers. The game of poker has been played in America since the early 1880s. The first video poker machines were coin operated machines with cards on drums. Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn introduced these machines in the late 1800s. These machines worked like modern casino slots. To spin the drums the player had to insert a coin or coins and pull the handle. The player would put all his faith in luck as the drums stopped. A winning hand in those days meant that the player would receive cigars or drinks. But in 1901, Charles Fey made the next big innovative alteration to the poker machine by adding a 'hold' and 'draw' feature to the already wildly popular machine. Fey’s addition to the poker machine allowed the role of skill to come into play just as much as luck. Only then the time of video pokers came. With the introduction of computers, it was then only a matter of time before Video Poker came about. People from all over the world began to play video pokers. Later online casinos began to offer different kinds of video pokers. Animated Draw Poker Pot.
