Poker Chips - Online Poker’s Sonic Boom
Poker has been in existence for roughly 200 years but the online version of the so-called
gambling sport is just a new phenomenon.
Nevertheless, online poker wasn t the very first
kind of gambling that reached the Internet, as online sportsbooks popped up through the
mid-90s.
Online casinos also came forth.
A great example is Microgaming, which arrived in
1994 and is currently a well-known casino software developer.

Planet Poker was the first online poker gambling room coming into the picture in 1998.
The
site operated, being the single online poker company for quite a while.
After a few years,
numerous new and larger online poker websites appeared also having an initial rake
structure of 5% and a max rate of as much as $3.
Paradise Poker, which is the present industry leader, was established in 1999.
In the course
of the same time period, Poker Spot launched by Dutch Boyd moved into the scene.
