Video pokers can be said to be one of the most popular gambling machines. Video poker originates from the original 5 card poker. Since the 1880s poker has been played in the USA. The first video poker machines didn’t have CGI program, they were represented by regular coin operated machines with cards on drums. These machines came into the scene in the late 1800s, which were manufactured by Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn. These machines were like modern slots, as they have the same principle of work. 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. Then if the player had a winning hand he was rewarded with drinks or cigars from the bar. 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. Now the outcome of the game wasn’t determined only by a chance, but also by the skill of the player. Only then the time of video pokers came. After the invention of computers video pokers began to come about. Video pokers attracted a lot of players nearly at once. Later. Video pokers become available in online casinos.
