Play Hold ‘Em—Lunacasino’s offering of the Texan version of poker today!
Hold your horses! An age old classic version of poker is now offered by Lunacasino! Called Hold ‘Em, this exciting card game is patterned after Texas Hold ‘Em, one of the many iterations of the classic game.
The origins of Texas Hold ‘Em is vague and as clear as muddy water, but one thing experts have agreed upon is its origin, which is of course, Texas—Robstown Texas, 1900, in particular. The game hit mainstream when Amarillo Slim, Doyle Brunson and Crandell Addington sauntered their way into the casino poker realm in 1967 the way gunslingers do in dingy, smoky, dangerous saloons, Texas Hold ‘Em in hand. According to Addington, he first witnessed the game being played in 1959—at the time, it was called Hold ‘Em, but Addington decided to give it a piece of Texan branding and added the “Texas” prefix.
“They didn't call it Texas hold 'em at the time, they just called it hold 'em.… I thought then that if it were to catch on, it would become the game. Draw poker, you bet only twice; hold 'em, you bet four times. That meant you could play strategically. This was more of a thinking man's game,” said Addington.
The rest, as they say, is history. Texas Hold ‘Em Poker has since then been one of the most played variants of poker. In this version of the game, players attempt to win the pot based on their hand or their prediction of what their opponent’s hands are. Addington was correct in it being a game of cerebral nature—mathematical and psychologically sound deductions and decisions are required for one to win at Texas Hold ‘Em poker. While the goals and strategies are similar to how other poker games are played, you could see that in ‘Hold Em, having four times the bet allows for more moves, expanding the typical poker line like a full blown chess game—a true game of cunning.
