Poker Digest was a pioneering biweekly casino magazine dedicated to poker. It offered strategy insights, tournament reports, and profiles of prominent players. Founded in 1998 by the original Card Player magazine creators, it quickly became a key resource for poker enthusiasts in California casinos. 

The timing of its launch coincided with a rising interest in poker and the availability of online casino platforms where one could play. But the real gold was increased television coverage of poker tournaments, now with visible hole cards.

This made Poker Digest an essential read for both amateur and professional players looking to stay up to date on the happenings in the world of poker and to improve their game. The magazine heavily influenced the development and spreading of poker as both a hobby as well as a serious competitive pursuit.

For collectors and enthusiasts, print issues of Poker Digest from the 1990s and 2000s are occasionally available through online auctions. For everyone else, many of the classic articles written by poker’s best authors are archived here.
