Deuces Wild is a variation of video poker. Currently, video poker is one of the most popular forms of online poker that is played at online casinos. However, electronic poker goes a long way back. The age of electronic poker games began in 1964 with the Nevada Electronics' solid state "21" machines. Those machines were considered to be the top-line of technology, but people did not really know what to think about poker that is played with machines.
By the mid-1970s, other gambling machine manufacturers had built solid state 21, dice, roulette, horseracing, and poker machines. The most successful of these was the Dale Electronics' Poker-Matic, which could be found in most Nevada casinos. These games were nothing like the glittering online casino video poker that is offered today.
In 1976, Bally built a black and white video poker machine and eight months later the Fortune Coin Company countered with a color version of the popular poker machine game and a new era of video games have emerged. The first century of coin operated poker game devices ended in 1990 with animated video poker machines becoming one of the hottest sensations of modern-day casinos. From land-based casinos the revolution of video poker went online, just like the rest of the gambling world, and video poker is now the most popular of online casino video games available.
