The poker industry has had a massive growth in the number of active poker players. Somehow, the poker industry has gone from being unknown, to being a huge, multi-billion dollar industry. Let’s see why people are interested in poker, and for what reasons it has turned into such a popular game.

So, just what is the big deal about poker anyway? We can point to certain things about the game that peak our interest in the game of poker. Below are the things that explain why many of us have gotten into poker.

Part of playing poker is the head on struggles that players engage in, the head games that go on. Discovering how to get people to decide in your favor is what this is all about. Then there is the fun of trickery, and also of figuring out what your opponent is holding.

Poker is one of the few “gambling games” that is really a skill game in the long run. The chance to get hot and win huge money makes tournament poker very enticing to many poker players. One of the beautiful things about poker is that anyone can be a good poker player.

Poker has been in the background for years. Why did it all of a sudden become a game that everyone wants to play? There were three events that combined bring poker out of the closet. The little camera that sees the hole cards is the start, followed by poker played on the web, and the Moneymaker win in 2003, and poker takes off.

A device called pocket cam, or hole card cam, started the trend. The hole card cam allows viewers to see what the players have in their hidden cards. The pocket cam let�s the audience have a better view of the action.

Live poker played online was the next event leading to our poker boom. People from all over the world can compete at the same table now. This new format for playing poker slowly started to increase the player base.

The pocket card camera helps boost TV audiences. Now, the increase in player activity, and big payouts at the bigger tournaments, created even more energy in the industry. The third event in this sequence triggered a rapid growth for the build up that had already started.

In the year 2003, an amateur player (Chris Moneymaker), beat out all the pros to take down the WSOP championship event, winning $2,500,000. Because of the increased popularity in televised poker, thanks to pocket card cam, lots of people witnessed this event. The end result of all these events was that the poker industry boomed.

Big poker tournaments find the tables filled with many Hollywood super stars, everyone is getting into the game. The entire poker industry generates huge money now. With the rest of the world catching on, poker continues to grow.

The magical combination of these three things put poker on a dynamic growth track. There is a report out saying that the US government could generate up to $50 Billion in revenue over the next 10 years if they legalized and taxed online poker. Growth is expected for years to come.
