The video poker machine has been without doubt one of the most popular gambling machines in existence throughout the years. Video poker is of course based on the original 5 card game of poker. Americans have been playing poker since the early 1880s. The first video poker machines were coin operated machines with cards on drums. These machines came into the scene in the late 1800s, which were manufactured by Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn. These machines worked very much like the slot machines you see today. The drums were spun by pulling the handle after inserting a coin. The player would put all his faith in luck as the drums stopped. The owner of the bar gave a player who received a winning combination drinks or cigars from the bar. But in 1901, Charles Fey made the next big innovative alteration to the poker machine by adding a 'hold' and 'draw' feature to the already wildly popular machine. Now, that these machines had ‘draw’ and ‘hold’ features video pokers were not only the game of a chance, but also of skill. Then came the Video Poker Machines you see today. After the invention of computers video pokers began to come about. Video pokers attracted a lot of players nearly at once. Later. Video pokers become available in online casinos.
