Why is poker so popular?

Poker is probably the best-known card game. It’s a game which can be played both among friends at home, as well as against professional opponents in casinos. Recently, online games have become increasingly trendy. They offer the opportunity to face real players instead of playing against the computer.



Where exactly did poker come from and how did it become an online sensation?

A poker game usually requires one deck of 52 cards. There are also multi-deck games, but using one deck is more common. The goal of the game is to win money or tokens from other players by collecting the best set of cards or by bluffing. The origins of poker are unclear, but it is widely believed that Jonathan H. Green was the first to describe it in a book by J. Hildreth from 1836 entitled "Dragoon Campaigns to the Rockies". What's more, some sources say that the game could have been known even before 1829. Of course, we're talking about the form of poker we know today. Its predecessor could have been the German game Pochen, which was popular at the turn of the 15th century. It is worth adding that the first magazine about poker was released in 1896, which was called "Poker Chips". Today, poker is one of the most popular card games, and its online version attracts millions of players every day. Poker is so widespread today because many websites and online apps allow users to challenge players from around the world. Thanks to this, you can polish your skills and experience the same thrill of a real poker game. Virtual poker gives you exactly the same feeling as playing with opponents at one table, which is why all virtual poker apps such as Pokerbros - poker room at donkhunter are so popular today.

Excitement on your computer and smartphone

Poker games have successfully moved to the Internet so that players from around the world can participate. What's more, this way of playing poker is becoming particularly popular today due to the coronavirus lockdown. Everyone can participate in games without leaving their homes. The possibility of playing on a computer and mobile devices ensures the comfort and convenience.
