Video pokers have always been very popular. Video poker is of course based on the original 5 card game of poker. 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 very much like the slot machines you see today. The drums were spun by pulling the handle after inserting a coin. The player would put all his faith in luck as the drums stopped. A person who had a winning card combination received drinks and 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. 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. Video pokers were played by a lot of people. Now you can play video pokers in the internet.
