Video pokers can be said to be one of the most popular gambling machines. Video poker originates from the original 5 card poker. Americans have been playing poker since the early 1880s. The earliest records of the video poker machine were coin operated machines which used playing cards on drums and not a CGI powered poker game. These gambling machines appeared in the late 1800s, they were introduced by Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn. These machines worked very much like the slot machines you see today. 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 the outcome of the game wasn’t determined only by a chance, but also by the skill of the player. Then came the Video Poker Machines you see today. After the invention of computers video pokers began to come about. Video pokers were played by a lot of people. Now you can play video pokers in the internet.
