How Poker Became So Popular

They first called it ‘poque’ and it evolved into today’s name after the English speakers came to town, at the beginning of the 1800s. It has become very popular since, especially with the television tournaments. At first, the players would use coins and gold nuggets, instead of the chips. It was in the early 1900s that chips became a commercial replacement, as they were harder to copy and easier to use.
