The Most Popular Types of Poker
Although poker is one of the most popular card games in the world, nobody knows with any certainty the origins of this entertaining pastime. Some historians trace the game back to a 10th-century domino-like card game played by a Chinese Emperor, while others say its roots date back to a 16th-century Persian card game. Whatever the truth is, poker didn't gain notoriety in the West until the 17th century in France. Poker has undergone many changes during its long history, with the game being adapted many times.
