During the American Civil War, stud poker was introduced. Lowball and split-pot poker were also introduced in the early 1900s. Since then, poker has spread to other countries, with some of its origins attributed to the U.S. military.

The name “poker” probably comes from German or French pochen or poque. The game is closely resembled to the Persian game of as nas. Some claim that the game was taught to French settlers in New Orleans by Persian sailors.
