Why is this work an American Icon?:

Played by paupers and presidents. Born in America and played everywhere from Vegas to (until very recently) hyperspace. Picture Steve McQueen, Richard Nixon, Matt Damon, Tobey McGuire, Coolio, and Jennifer Tilly all sitting around the table with chips in front of them.
A symbol of the American spirit of Gamble.
