History of Poker. The origin of Poker - arguably the most influential card game of all time - is actually quite unclear. Most scholars agree that the origin of modern Poker is several different card games, which evolved into what we now recognize as Poker. Texas Hold’em is probably the most well-known modern version of poker and as the name suggests started out in Texas. How the game was invented is unknown, but it was played in Texas until 1967, before it was introduced to Las Vegas. Played in only one casino for a few years, it didn’t receive much attention until a tournament was held in 1969. Some historians say poker’s origins can be traced to a domino-card game played by a 10th-century Chinese emperor; others claim it is a descendant of the Persian card game “As Nas,” which dates back. Poker history is not crystal clear, but it appears that it has evolved from a Persian game called nus. Others attribute pokers roots to a French game brelan or the English game bragg, which means 'brag'. The game of Texas hold’em poker has a rich and interesting history. Full Tilt Poker presents the story so far. As the name suggests, the game started out in Texas, and Robstown, Texas is officially recognised as the place in which it originated, during the early part of the 20 th century.
