Poker The game of poker has evolved through time. Two centuries ago, the game was mainly played by cheats, outlaws, and knife-makers aboard riverboats. Today it is a
celebrated 'sport' played worldwide by professionals. The status of the outlaw has been today replaced by celebrity status of the poker player. Also technology has
taken things further and poker hands are no longer dealt by professional cheats who manipulate the deck but more often by software programs that connect millions of
players across the globe.Poker is one of the most popular of a class of card games with a rich and interesting history. Today with emerging technologies, poker can also
refer to video poker, a single-player game seen in casinos much like a slot machine, or to other games that use poker hand rankings.Poker can easily be considered the
card game of choice over the last decade. Now poker has dedicated channels on cable TV devoted to the "sport". |
