Video pokers can be said to be one of the most popular gambling machines. 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 first video poker machines were coin operated machines with cards on drums. Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn introduced these machines in the late 1800s. These machines were like modern slots, as they have the same principle of work. To spin the drums the player had to insert a coin or coins and pull the handle. The player would put all his faith in luck as the drums stopped. Then if the player had a winning hand he was rewarded with 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. The modern video pokers appeared a little later. 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.
