Poker, a popular card game played by millions around the world, has an interesting history that spans centuries. Its roots can be traced back to 10th-century China, where a game called domino cards was played, and Persia, where a game called As Nas was played. In the 16th century, a game called primero, which had similar elements to modern-day poker, was played in Spain.

​

As Europeans traveled to the New World, so did their love for gambling games. In the 1830s, a game called "poque" was introduced in the United States, which had similar elements to primero and modern-day poker. The game quickly caught on and spread across the country, becoming a favorite pastime of soldiers during the Civil War.

​

Poker continued to evolve and grow in popularity throughout the 20th century, becoming a staple of casinos and homes alike. The World Series of Poker, a series of tournaments held in Las Vegas every year, began in 1970 and has since become a major event in the world of poker.
