Video-Poker is simply a mixture of two common forms of betting: the slot machine with the poker game. Winning a game of Video Poker requires a mixture of bettor ability with pure luck, making it a favorite with players. The game of poker is thought to have originated back in Eighteen Thirty, where it is recorded as having been enjoyed by French immigrants residing in New Orleans. Video Poker uses a variation of the game named 5card draw poker. At the same time, the coin-operated card machines (referred affectionately as a "slot") was originally invented in the late Nineteenth century, with poker machines appearing in San Francisco in 1890. These machines were incredibly basic by today’s specifications, using real cards rather than symbols.

The machines dropped in acceptance throughout the first half of the 20th century. Economic issues mixed with the restricted technology of the machines themselves meant that folks just weren’t interested in wagering anymore. A really primitive electronic digital poker machine was released in 1964 but achieved only modest success.

It was not until the mid-1970s that the Electronic Poker equipment as we know it today grew to become obtainable. Developments in technology meant that a central processing unit (CPU) could be used inside the machines to give them a "brain", whilst a video screen showed the action to the player.

Meanwhile, casino operators searched for new high-profit games, and the mixture of a slots using the a lot more traditional game of five-card draw poker proved to be a winning mixture with the old and new. The first Electronic Poker equipment was built in ‘76 by Bally Manufacturing. It was black and white only, but a color version followed just eight months later, released by the Fortune Coin Corporation. Over the next handful of years, chips grew to become more affordable to produce, and a lot more casinos introduced Video-Poker machines as they grew to become additional financially viable. A version labeled Draw Poker was released in ‘79 by a business now known as IGT, and it achieved amazing success.

Electronic-Poker genuinely took off in the early 1980s where it grew to become popular in casinos across Las Vegas. Bettors discovered themselves less intimidated by a machine than they were when playing at a table with others. The popularity of the game has continuously increased during the last 25 years and it can now be discovered in the majority of casinos throughout the world, along with bars and on the Net.
