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.

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.
