The history of Poker games.

 It’s no secret that the poker is one of the world most popular games. The history of poker games goes back to many centuries ago. According to various sources it originated in 1500 AD. For the first time poker games have appeared in European countries such as France, Italy, Spain. Poker rules in those days were quite different from those of nowadays and in the most of cases they consisted in advertising of rates and then comparing of card combinations. Of course the player, who had a higher combination, won. Over time, poker rules have been changing until the poker has become the game that we all know with all these poker chips, poker strategy, different poker variants and rules. The poker has arrived to the America during its colonization. And there after having become a very popular game, poker has got its 52 cards.

Now poker is one of the most widespread games not only in the UK, but around the world. The first card game, that appeared in the casinos, which started at the time to spread everywhere, was, of course, the poker. From the last century people begin to play poker in the clubs. Its difference from the casino poker is that the gambler plays not with the dealer but with other gamblers. Now there are more than ten kinds of club poker, which differ only by insignificant details, but the main is to collect the combination of 3 or 5 cards. The most widespread kinds of club poker are Texas Holdem, Five-Card Poker, Seven-Card Poker and others.
In 1963 in Grand Royal casino, Las Vegas, there was one of the biggest winnings. One man has won 1.000.000$ putting the ante of 5000$. He has exchanged one card, has received a Joker and collected Royal Flush. Not for nothing that people say: you can play any game, but you’ll win the fortune only with Royal Flush.
