It all begins in 1994 when Henry Orenstein designed, and patented, the know how for the the hole card camera. The fans are now able to know the pocket cards that the contestants have when watching televised poker. “Hole card cam’s” debut occurred in 1997 on The Late Night Poker Show, in England.
Poker had been on TV since the 70’s, but had a very small viewing audience. This was because not knowing what cards the players were holding, you couldn’t follow what the players tactics were. The pocket camera made viewing poker on TV very addictive.
