Where did Poker Come From?

Nobody is really sure where the game of Poker originated. There are several different theories about both the game and the name ‘Poker’. Some people think the earliest version was a Persian game called As Nas, others claim it started in Renaissance Europe and that the name was French or German in origin. What’s pretty certain is that people were playing  a recognisable form of Poker in the Southern States of America 200 years ago. The game spread up the Mississippi River on the steamboats and on to the Wild West where it became a part of frontier life. Poker was massively popular with soldiers in the American Civil War, who introduced Stud Poker. The game has constantly changed and developed over the last two centuries and Prime ScratchCards didn’t hesitate to develop new and exciting versions of this amazing card game. We’ve used the latest Flash technology to bring Poker right into the 21st Century!

Be a Winner with Royal Poker!

Royal Poker is another top quality Poker game from the Prime stable. We’ll be featuring a Blog guide to Poker over the next few days and explaining all the different hands and tactics for winning. We’ll also be showing you the very best online Poker games and explaining how to take part in a real online Poker Tournament.

Did You Know?

Poker was originally played with a deck of only 20 cards. Players would bet on who had the best hand.

There are several fun and exciting Poker Games here at Prime ScratchCards you’ll find them in our Casino sections. If you’ve never played before a good game to start with is either Royal Poker or Poker King. They’re a good introduction and are a lot of fun to play.

The best news is that every game comes with a massive

£100,000 PRIME JACKPOT!

When you play Joker Poker all the different card combinations are displayed in a table above your cards. If you didn’t know the difference between a Royal Flush and a Full House there’s no need to worry; it’s all there at a glance and couldn’t be simpler.

For a fun and easy game Joker Poker manages to offer some great options and a really good playing experience. You can play up to 25 hands at once and win up to £80 with just a 10p bet; the sky’s the limit with bigger bets!

You’re dealt 5 cards and can HOLD as many as you like. You’ll then be dealt new cards to replace the ones you don’t want to keep; if you’re lucky you’ll have a winning hand. That’s when it gets really interesting because you’ll then have a choice whether to COLLECT or GAMBLE your Instant Cash Prize.

Boost your Winnings up to X4 as many times as you dare!
