Which country and who invented poker?

It is generally believed that poker evolved from French tarot cards and was invented by the French.

Poker is a popular paper tool for entertainment and gambling all over the world. Because of the different ways of playing, it is commonly known as Card, Wanliu, Majiu, etc., with different titles. Its standard name is poker. The early playing cards were introduced to Europe from Egypt at the end of 14.

The earliest number of playing cards varied from place to place. 78 in Italy, 32 in Germany, 40 in Spain and 52 in France.

In the future, there will be 52 cards in each deck of international playing cards, plus two wild cards (also known as kings or children) and 54 cards. At this point, the design and color, the number of points and the patterns of K, Q and J on the playing cards are basically finalized.

Playing cards are divided into four colors, namely spades, hearts (or hearts), diamonds and clubs. Four colors have different names. The French call it "spear, heart, square and clove leaf", the Germans call it "leaf, heart, bell and acorn" and the Italians call it "sword, coin, stick and wine glass".

Later, according to the calendar in astronomy, westerners unified the content of this card game, which was set at 54 cards and four colors. In this way, after a long period of evolution, it gradually tends to be consistent.
