History of Poker

Poker has a rich history dating back over a thousand years. Some historians believe it originated in China during the tenth century, while others trace its roots to sixteenth-century Persia with a game called "As Nas."

In Europe, the earliest related card game was Poque, popular in France during the seventeenth century. In Germany, it was known as Pochen, both of which were adaptations of the Spanish game Primero, which dealt three cards to each player and emphasized bluffing.

Poque's popularity in France led to its introduction in North America, particularly in New Orleans, where it was soon anglicized to Poker. By 1834, Poker was played in America with five cards for each player, dealt from a deck of 52 cards.

The game quickly gained popularity across North America, becoming a favorite among Civil War soldiers and Wild West frontiersmen. By 1871, it was reintroduced to Europe after Queen Victoria overheard a conversation about the game in her court, cementing its place in European gaming culture.

Triple-Card Poker

Triple-Card Poker, also known as Three-Card Poker, is a game played with just three cards. The goal is to create the best possible hand using only three cards.

There are some unique rules to be aware of in Three-Card Poker. For example, you only need three consecutive cards to form a straight and three cards of the same suit to make a flush. Additionally, a straight beats a flush in this version of the game.

In many online versions, Three-Card Poker is played directly against the dealer. Your objective is straightforward: end the game with a better hand than the dealer to win the chips!

This game uses a single 52-card deck that is shuffled after each round. The dealer's minimum qualifying hand is Queen high, and the objective is to beat the dealer with a better three-card poker hand.

One notable difference in this game is that a Straight ranks higher than a Flush. This is because of the limited number of ways players can create these specific three-card combinations. The highest-paying hand is the Mini Royal, consisting of a Queen, King, and Ace, which pays out at 5:1.

In addition to the main game, Triple Card Poker Live offers two side bets: Pair Plus and 6 Card Bonus. Pair Plus can pay out up to 100:1, while 6 Card Bonus offers a jackpot of 1,000:1.

Extreme Texas Hold'em


Extreme Texas Hold'em is a live dealer game developed by Evolution. It offers the same gameplay as standard Texas Hold'em poker, but with the added advantage of interacting with a real dealer. The main difference is that you compete against the dealer rather than other players.

In Extreme Texas Hold'em, you can place side bets, including trip bets, to increase your chances of winning and add excitement to the game.

Side Bet City

Side Bet City is a unique live dealer game that offers multiple betting options from the start. You can bet on whether you will win the upcoming hand with 3, 5, or 7 cards. You can also place a bet on "all lose."

Once bets are placed, the dealer will deal seven cards. Initially, three cards will be revealed to show a 3-card poker hand, and if it makes one pair or higher, wins will be paid out accordingly.

Then, the dealer will reveal another two cards to make a 5-card poker hand, which should make a pair of jacks or better. Finally, two more cards will be dealt to reveal a 7-card poker hand, and three-of-a-kind or better will result in a winning payout.

Caribbean Stud Poker

Caribbean Stud Poker is very similar to the classic poker game five-card stud. One of the main distinctions of this poker variant is that bluffing is not a factor, as you are playing against the dealer.

To begin, each player is dealt five cards face down, and the dealer places five cards in front of themselves, four face down and one face up. Once initial bets are placed, the dealer will determine if their hand is "open," meaning they must have Ace-King or higher.

If the dealer's hand qualifies, bets are placed, and the remaining cards are revealed. As with all poker games, the player with the best hand wins the pot.

Casino Hold'em

Casino Hold'em is one of the most popular poker games on Stake and follows the same rules as the beloved Texas Hold'em, with one key difference: you play against the house, not other players.

Developed by Evolution, Casino Hold'em offers a fully virtual poker experience that you can enjoy from the comfort of your device.
