Who Invented Poker Game
In fact, this poker game only has a history dating back to 1982 in Las Vegas, Nevada! That means this game is a child compared to the relatively unknown razz and badugi poker games that have been around much longer. Before Omaha poker became official, there were a few variations of the game that evolved over time and had different rules. In 1891, Sittman and Pitt Company invented the first poker machine – the precursor to modern video poker machines. In 1901, Charles Fey invented the “Skill Draw” poker game – the first draw poker machine. Early draw poker machines used only 50 cards so the odds of getting a royal flush were half what they are with a full deck of 52 cards.
