Know Your Poker History

In 969 A.D., Emperor Mu Tsung introduced the game of "domino cards." This may have been poker's slow-growing zygote.

Egypt: fragments of playing cards have been recovered that date back to the 12th and 13th centuries and "Ganjifa" ("Treasure-cards")betting games in the early 16th century. This inspired the Persian game of "As Nas," a five-player 25-card game from the 17th century and one of the early games that most resembles poker.

Card playing spread in the 14th century as first documented in Catalan, Spain then Italy before quickly spreading throughout Europe. The early Tarot deck from early Egyptian, Hebraic, and Roma cultures suited minor arcana cards inspired the popular 52-card deck.

It was France, created the familiar four playing suits of Spades, Clubs, Hearts, and Diamonds in the 15th century for its national game of "Poque." Poque etymological roots for the eventual "poker" moniker. German Pochspiel or "knock-play" which introduced the tactic of bluffing into the early betting world and used now in Texas Holdem Poker.
