|
- What is a "Skill Game"?
-
Unlike games of chance, your chances of winning a skill game is directly related to
your skill level. This is not to say that chance has no effect on a skill game;
indeed, chance (e.g. the roll of a dice or the shuffle of a deck of cards) has a
definite role in the outcome of a game. But in games of skill, your knowledge of the
game, and your skill in choosing the best course of action, is the largest determinator
of whether you win or lose.
- What is a "Game Of Chance"?
-
A game of chance in a game in which lady luck holds the upper hand. No matter your
skill and experience, the outcome of the game will be decided largely due to luck.
If your luck's running hot, you'll be be flush with success, but if you're luck's
running cold, you won't be able to buy a break. This dependence on random fortune
is what makes games of chance so compelling, and for many people, so relaxing.
