The History Behind Texas Hold’em

Texas Hold 'Em is one of the most popular forms of poker. Texas Hold 'em's popularity surged in the 2000s due to exposure on television, the Internet and popular literature. During this time hold 'em replaced seven-card stud as the most common game in U.S. casinos. The no-limit betting form is used in the widely televised main event of the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.

Popularity of the Game Worldwide

After the game spread throughout Texas, hold 'em was introduced to Las Vegas in 1967 by a group of Texan gamblers and card players, including Crandell Addington, Doyle Brunson, and Amarillo Slim. Addington said the first time he saw the game was in 1959.

Tournaments and contests

There are a lot of tournaments and contests held worldwide to further popularize the game. Also, recently the game has gone digital and even casual gamers across the world are playing the game on major social networks without having to gamble their hard earned money for real.
