Poker is a card game that originated in Italy in the 16th century. It is now considered a form of gambling. Many people consider poker to be a real money game because of the amount of money that can be wagered on the outcome. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the biggest poker tournament in the world, with participants earning millions of dollars.
However, there are also many unofficial poker tournaments that take place across the world, and those events are not considered part of the WSOP. In 2016, there were over $9.6 billion in prize money awarded at poker tournaments around the world.
