The video poker machine has been without doubt one of the most popular gambling machines in existence throughout the years. 5 card poker is the base of video pokers. Since the 1880s poker has been played in the USA. 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 were like modern slots, as they have the same principle of work. 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. Fey’s addition to the poker machine allowed the role of skill to come into play just as much as luck. Then came the Video Poker Machines you see today. 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.
