Video poker has been around for over almost 50 years, In 1970 Dale Electronics introduced the world’s first video poker machine. It was called “Poker-Matic.” It was installed in virtually every casino that existed in Las Vegas at that time.
Even though it did not become a big hit, the Poker-Matic laid the groundwork for future games that would capture the gambling public’s imagination – and dollars.
It became popular in the 1980s, when computers began to get powerful enough to offer a game to the masses on home users, including the early Ataris (400 and 800), the VIC20.
Video Poker is incredibly popular in Vegas casinos. Interestingly, it is only in recent years that slots have overtaken poker machines in popularity in the casinos.
Video poker can pay out well if you know how to play the game properly. That's why so many players like to master a single version of video poker, like 'Bonus Poker' and 'Jacks or Better' rather than playing them all.
During this time, the game also became popular in casinos as a real money game. Players can play for pennies, right through to many dollars per hand and so appeals to players of all levels.
