Video Poker History

Video poker was introduced to us over a decade ago! The Sittman and Pitt Company produced the machine in 1891, Brooklyn, NY. The original machine featured five drums with 10 cards in each drum which would spin once a coin was dropped into the machine. The winners were not awarded cash prizes. They were awarded drinks or cigars at their local bar. In 1979 Draw Poker was launched by International Game Technology. This unit had a TV which displayed results from the central processing unit. In the 90s the game really took off when it was introduced on the Internet.
