When the first people started playing roulette, it was called ‘poker’ because a ball struck a pin.

How does the name originate?

In English, one doesn’t often use a person or noun with that meaning – a person’s name.

But many European languages (including English) use it. It originated as a term for someone who played a game of chance, as opposed to roulette, which was originally played by a person at random or as a form of lottery.

Roughly two and a half centuries later, it spread westward to become an American holiday and the popular Australian game of wild cards.
