A new card game is growing in popularity on college campuses.
Well, technically, it’s not “new” — the game has been around for centuries. Still, for some, such as those who don’t know what life was like before the iPhone, it is new.
And now, poker is once again the comeback kid of the gambling world.
The game, which some trace as far back as 10th century China and which began to resemble its current form in the 1800s when it was favored by gold prospectors in America, has repeatedly found itself on the brink of folding into obscurity only to be revived by landing a lucky card on the river.
