Back in some 969 A.D, they say (not sure) that the Chinese started to play this game. It is when The Emperor Mu-tsung is reported to have played "domino cards" with his wife on new years eve. It is believed that Domino Cards are the first form of Poker Cards.
After the Era of Chinese leading the games, it is also said that the Egyptians are known to have used some form of playing cards as their games in 12th to 13th Century. By the time it goes by, it was passed through the mighty Persians. They are known for their fighting skills but are they also known on playing cards? I wonder.

The Persians used to call this “Ganjifa” or “Treasure Cards”. It is used for the variety of betting games. Did the Persians play Lucky 9 back then? It'll be cool after a war. The Ganjifa consists 96 elaborate cards until it was utilized until 25 cards only. It was “As Nas” and it's also a betting game with hierarchical hand rankings.
As the time goes by, their game became their own and by the late 16th Century, the Spanish has developed a game which involved three cards being dealt to each player. The Spaniards used to call this game as “Primero”. Bluffing, or betting high stakes whilst holding poor cards to deceive opponents, was an integral part of the game. They say that this Primero is the “Mother of Poker”, and it is confirmed that the old game is the first games directly connected to present Poker.
French colonials improved this game and bring its popularity to Canada. Their beloved poque was the national card game of France and from the beginning of the 18th century, when a hardy group of French-Canadian settlers founded New Orleans, it spread from the state of Louisiana up the Mississippi river and then throughout the whole country.
It all change until Jonathan H. Green made one of the earliest written references to poker when he states the “cheating game” that has been played on Mississippi riverboats. The “Cheating Game" quickly began to drive across the country and become a popular cardsharp game of 3-card monte on the gambling circuit. Gamblers accept and embraced this new card game as it was perceived as a more challenging and 'honest' gamble than the notoriously rigged 3-card game. Then at the late 18th and early 19th century, Poker was born.
At the Wild West period of United States, every town has poker tables everywhere. Then the game Poker began to popularize its name. Until now where people and gamblers know what the game Poker is.
