No one knows for certain the origins of the game of poker. It is commonly believed that its name is derived from the French poque, which descended from the German pochen (‘to knock’), but it is unclear whether or not the actual game of poker is an offshoot of the French and German games. Poker is very similar to a Persian game called as nas, which may have been taught to French settlers in New Orleans by Persian sailors. Many believed that poker shares an ancestry with the Renaissance game of primero and the French brelan. The English game brag, which at one time was called bragg, very obviously descends from brelan . Brag incorporated bluffing (though the concept was already in use in other games by that time). It is very likely that all of these earlier games had some influence on the development of modern poker.

According to English actor Joseph Crowell, poker was first played in 1829 in New Orleans with four players using a deck of twenty cards and betting on which player held the most valuable hand. From there, according to Jonathan H. Green’s book, “An Exposure of the Arts and Miseries of Gambling”, poker spread out to the rest of the country via Mississippi riverboats where gambling was a common pastime.

The game continued to spread up the Mississippi and out West during the gold rush where it became an integral part of the frontier and pioneer life. Not long after poker’s spread to other parts of the country, poker players started using the full English deck of 52 cards and the flush was introduced. During the American Civil War, many additions were made to the game, including draw poker, the straight and stud poker (the five-card variant). Still more American developments were added, such as low ball and split poker (circa 1900) and the wild card (circa 1875). Community card poker games started to appear around 1925. The spread of poker to other countries, particularly in Asia, is typically attributed to the U.S. military. Poker jargon has become an important part of both American and English culture.

Often, people use phrases that originated at the poker table and are totally unaware of the origins of those phrases. Phrases such as ace in the hole, ace up one’s sleeve, beats me, blue chip, call one’s bluff, high roller, pass the buck, poker face, up the ante, when the chips are down, wild card, blue chip, cash in, stack up all have their origins in the game of poker. Modern tournament play didn’t become popular in American casinos until after the World Series of Poker began in 1970. That was also when the first serious strategy books such as “The Theory of Poker” by David Sklansky, “Super System” by Doyle Brunson, and “The Book of Tells” by Mike Caro, first appeared on the scene. The popularity of poker has grown remarkably in recent years primarily because of online poker and the invention of the hole-card camera. As a result of the introduction of the hole-card camera, poker has been turned into a spectator sport.
