Poker History
Poker history is thought to have evolved over more than ten centuries from a variety of games involving the principle of bluffing to deceive opponents. A French poker game named “Poque” and the German game “Pochen” became popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1834 American writer Jonathan H. Green wrote about what he called the “Cheating Game” in one of his books. From here poker was born in the USA where it became extremely popular, especially in the Wild West and during the Civil War. The emergence of online poker has since carried on the game’s rich history.
