Some historians believe that titan poker may have come from another game called 'As Nas', which was played in Persia during the 16th century. Alternatively, it is also argued that poker may have created in China as far back as 900 A.D. However, everyone seems to be in agreement that titan poker is a gambling game that seems to have been around forever.
Titan poker has a history being played in America's first casino that was located in New Orleans in 1822. From the very first game, titan poker way played with a lot of bluffing and gambling, and the game was often rife with cheating. Accordingly, titan poker has become synonymous with legend from the 'Wild West' where gambling didn't take place until you had your gun at the ready and your back to the wall!
During its early days titan poker was played with only 20 cards. The game increased to a 52-card pack during the 1830s. It is believed that this addition was encourage more gambling players, extend the 'flush' and have enough cards left over for the 'draw'. During 1875 the 'wild' card appeared and along with it came the recognition of the different titan poker variations including Jack Pots, Stud and Draw.
By the 20th century, titan poker was a gambling game played throughout the world. However, it wasn't until the United States first legalized gambling in 1931, that the casino became an official part of gambling landscape.
