A common and certainly apocryphal folk etymology is that the term originated from the historical poker games in the colonial west of America, where if a player bet everything he possessed, he would place the nuts of his wagon wheels on the table to ensure that, should he lose, he would be unable to flee and would have to make good on the bet. Definition: the final card dealt in a poker hand. The exact origin of the term 'river' is unknown, but one story I read is totally silly, so will proclaim it the official origin story. In the 1800's, Mississippi riverboats were popular venues for poker games. Despite efforts to curtail cheating, it was an inevitable part of the game. The origin of the term 'nuts' is in some dispute, since it has been in use since before poker lingo was recorded, but the most common story is that it comes from the American Old West. Poker term the nuts origin.
