Did you know that based on the statistics, casino party history, facts, and trivia, poker should be named a national sport? Forty to fifty million Americans regularly play poker. That is more than one in five Americans playing this fascinating, often addictive game! Among well known poker players, one of the most well-known and notorious American presidents, President Richard Nixon, won $6000 during his first two months in the U.S. Navy during World War II, playing poker. The money he won was used to fund his first campaign for congress, a campaign he won!
Though the game probably originated in China in 1120 A.D., nobody knows exactly when the game originated, but we do know that when Columbus landed on U.S. shores in 1492, his men plucked wide leaves from trees, marked them with images, and played cards. Since so many people play poker, it is easy to surmise that there must be many people who have poker fans in their family! It is easy to arrange a party sure to please them, if your poker party comes complete with poker history, poker facts, and poker trivia!
Consider tucking a special invitation inside your regular invitations to those who enjoy playing poker, inviting pals to stay late, after the regular party ends, and enjoy this adult party game! You can just put holes in the corner of a couple of playing cards, tie them together with ribbon, and print the “special” invitation inside! That way, everyone will enjoy the party, and when the children and other guests leave, you will have arranged a party within a party, complete with an after party game, pretzels, pizza, and your favorite beverage! You can play along yourself, if you enjoy poker, or even take on the role of dealer if you want to be involved and don't play the game yourself! |
