Poker is a game which goes as far back in the history as one may think. I read that it's Fifty-five hundred years of development from 0000ppancient China to contemporary poker. What other information do you have about poker history. Let’s discuss to guide ourseves.
 

Apparently, it originated in the US southeast region and had earlier roots in European games. It had spread via the Mississippi River (via riverboats) to the rest of the nation.
 
There is claim that poker started in Persia . That the game spread to European during Alexander conquest. Though, the game continue to past through a lot of modifications until it reached south of United States. It is definite that poker game is derived from tarot cards.
 
The history of poker is very controversial to me but it is said to have existed in the southern U.S. in the 1800s.
