Video Poker has only become popular in the last couple of decades as technological advances have made the game possible, with the computerization of video games in general, it was a natural progression for poker to join the ranks of video games. It was in the 1980s that video poker started to increase its popularity on the casino circuit especially with people who prefer to play against a machine rather than in the glare of a standard game of casino. The first commercially worthwhile video poker machine was unveiled in 1979, using standard 5 card draw poker, which is still the most common version of poker to be used in these machines.
