Most say the game comes from
the eighteenth-century French game, poque while others reference the German
game, pochspiel. Some say it may even have derived come the Hindu word, pukka.

term used by pickpockets. The game of poker eventually evolved into a 32 card
game and then into the modern day 52 card game. It has evolved from a backroom
game to one of the most popular games today, with competitions and tournaments
all around the world.
