World's most popular strip poker for PC with interactive HD video

The idea of playing games of chance with clothes on the line has existed for centuries. But as for the specific origins of strip poker, some historians believe that it was spawned in New Orleans brothels and bars with numerous hot girls working there, during the late 19th century. The actual term “strip poker” wasn’t coined until 1916, when “The Technology Monthly and Harvard Engineering Journal” published the following joke:

“Say, Bill how did the game come out?”
“It ended in a tie.”
“Oh, you were playing strip poker.”

Adult games in the literature

Following this publication, strip poker would continue to appear in various pieces of literature, such as Eric Linklaters’ 1931 novel called “Juan in America.” Linklaters, a Brit visiting America, discussed how he saw a lady lose her clothes during a game. In 1939, the first account of strip poker outside of the United States was published in “A Coffin for Dimitrios.” This book talks about an adult game that takes place in a villa in Istanbul, Turkey.
