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. Since the 1880s poker has been played in the USA. The earliest records of the video poker machine were coin operated machines which used playing cards on drums and not a CGI powered poker game. Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn introduced these machines in the late 1800s. These machines worked like modern casino slots. The player inserted a coin and pulled the handle, which spun five drums. The player would put all his faith in luck as the drums stopped. A winning hand in those days meant that the player would receive cigars or drinks. In 1901 the construction of this machine was changed by Charles Fey. He added ‘hold’ and ‘draw’ features to the existing machine. Fey’s addition to the poker machine allowed the role of skill to come into play just as much as luck. A little later video pokers that you play now appeared. With the introduction of computers, it was then only a matter of time before Video Poker came about. There appeared a lot of people who played video pokers. Nowadays videopokers are available even in online casinos.
