Video pokers can be said to be one of the most popular gambling machines. 5 card poker is the base of video pokers. Americans have been playing poker 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. The player inserted a coin and pulled the handle, which spun five drums. The player would put all his faith in luck as the drums stopped. Then if the player had a winning hand he was rewarded with drinks or cigars from the bar. Later, in 1901 ‘hold’ and ’draw’ options were added to these machines by Charles Fey. Now, that these machines had ‘draw’ and ‘hold’ features video pokers were not only the game of a chance, but also of skill. The modern video pokers appeared a little later. They appeared after the introduction of the computers. People from all over the world began to play video pokers. Later online casinos began to offer different kinds of video pokers.
