This game is the result of the evolutionary process which began when Poker was first formed in America in the early 19th century. Right when and where it was first played subject to a sustainable debate between historians, like the origin of the game. Some postulations associate the game lineage to the French game called “poque” or maybe to a German match known as “Pochspiel.” British historians stated that the game was a tension directly from the English card game “Brag.” Still another researcher claimed that poker evolved from the sixteenth century Persian card game called “as a NAS” which was played with a twenty-five card deck that contained five suites and had rules similar to five card poker studs. Because the exact documentation of the initial history of poker is not possible to determine the beginning it might remain a mystery.
Poker is estimated to have begun in America sometime in the early 1800s, maybe in New Orleans salons. From there it spread to the Mississippi and Ohio river with commercial steamship traffic. Then when the cart train and train pushed the Western border, Poker continued to gain popularity with the initial adventurer. British actor, Joseph Crowell, noted seeing poker played on a river ship in his diary in 1829 and later in his 1844 book, thirty years passed among the players in the UK and America.

When the game evolved, he moved to the twenty-two card deck and in the end to the “French deck” standard of fifty-two cards. Sometimes in the mid 1830s and Flushes was introduced as a winning hand. A few years later drawing poker was born and began making a gambling room in the west. The first cross of Draw Poker appeared in the American Edition Bohn Game Handbook in 1850. In the same year, wild cards were introduced to play poker.
