The Game

Omaha resembles another poker game, which uses the same rules but in which the player receives five cards instead of four. The history of Omaha poker begins in Detroit. It first appeared there in the early seventies and was called “Twice Three”. This game is widespread in big industrial cities of the Northwest and Midwest, especially in Chicago and New-York. The five-card form of Omaha has one drawback – the number of players is limited here to eight and nowadays it is replaced by a modern four-card form.
