More than a thousand years ago
History of Lúcia Mara - Espirito Santo, Brasil
More than a thousand years ago, the game of poker originated in China in the 10th century. Although some historians attribute the emergence of the game to the Persian "Ace Nas" in the 16th century, it is more likely that poker originated in French "Poche", which arrived in the United States via Canada. From there, the game became famous in the American "Wild West".
