Fact 2 Early versions of poker
  • The poker that we have come to know is played
    with a full deck of 52 cards. In the early days,
    the game could be played with a deck of twenty
    cards and four players. Back then, the game was a
    little less convoluted, the 4 players were each

    coins, gold nuggets and also gold dust. Due to

    chips. Chips used to be made of ivory, clay, bone
    and wood. It used to have designs on it to depict
    its value. These coins could be exchanged for
    real cash at the gaming house just like how it
