What do think about skill games?

[djmixen]

Hey guys

Do you know what skill games are?

Skill games are casino slots where you are rewarded based on your ability to play a game.
In other words, the outcome is determined by your skills, rather than by chance.

Have you played these games?
If not and you want to know more about different skill games, please read our new blog post: What are skill games and how do they work?

Let us know which ones do you prefer = traditional slots or skill games?

Thanks,

For me, gambling games are a form of addiction where the players believed that in the near future they will become rich at once when they hit the jackpot. That's why most of them rely on luck, not on skills dependent although some of them applied strategy for them to get profit most of the time.

No, the context of the OP is that there are casinos that offer skill-based games and it doesn't mean that there will be no risk there. It will still be based on luck as these casinos will not operate these skill based games if it was in the first place, easy. Though, the benefit of this is that gamblers will have a large variety of games to play with as it adheres to their type of player whether they want more action, or just want minimal movements and rely solely on luck.I just wonder if sports bet is considered as skill-based game since the skills are handled by the players, not by the bettors.

I didn't think that there would be a skill games in casino. I tried to open your games in the blog you've linked in your post but it looks like non of them are working for me. I think it's restricted in my country but I opened an account in Bitcasino. Still I prefer sports games if talking about skill games

Skill games for me are one of the risks to play because you cannot measure the capability of a person.

You consider this as risky compare to the luck and chances? Well, if you don't trust your skills in the first place you are already lost even the game hasn't started yet. It all depends on your perspective on how you see things differently even if your opponent is skillful, every gamers should have at least a secret weapon under their sleeves. It's called outsmarting your opponent just like how you play chess you planned carefully your next move, that's how skills should work.

Skill games have a risk but it is called skill games because you have the chance to minimize the risk by being skilled. And I should add that skilled players can measure the capability of an opponent if they've seen them play, and of course they know they are skilled that is why they can think of their next move to win the game. I think you've got the opposite of what's riskier and not, because on skilled games, risk can be minimize, but in luck games, there's always a fixed risk of losing, you can't even measure the capability of your luck.

Skill based games without a doubt can help you to minimize the risks when you are gambling but that is not all you still need to carefully monitor your capital at all times, after all is not rare even for a skilled player to make the mistake of getting mad when something does not go his way and then to try to recover his money in a single bet, if you do this then it does not matter how skilled you are in that game you will eventually lose all your money as it is impossible to survive for long with those kind of money management skills.

Yep,,, I always see the same few names play in poker if I enter, so it is very clear that those with a bit of skill can beat the average population and make their games +EV (by taking other player pots early and taking tournament prize cash). I wish I was as good in such card games but I know my place:) No skill means gamble just for fun;)

You can have good skills in card games if you learn more about that games
That is a requirement to be a good poker player and the other card games. But you can just gamble for fun without learning if you don't want to learn.
Perhaps, to learn poker game needs a passion for searching for many lessons, so we only see the same few names play in poker because people think that poker is one gambling game that needs skills to play.

Apart from having adequate skills, a gambler should also have mental toughness. Good skills without having mental toughness will make their steps less consistent, but if they have mental toughness so they can play consistently, calm in every situation, and wouldn't make many mistakes that could cause them to lose.

Without having mental toughness, that player can get a bluff from other players, and he can't manage his emotion or think how to get rid of the other player's trick. Having skills, calm in every situation will be needed in poker games and other gambling games base on skills. Instead, getting bluff from other players will not make him give up, but that is a challenge for him to defend his position.

Actually with the last type you've mentioned, it's true that it requires skills.

There are many gambling games that do require skills. You can depend with your luck but it's wise to have a strategy and skill as you gamble. It's common to a gambler to have a skill in his niche game.

Actually skill game is a wide term because there are 2 types of games when we talk about skill based games.

1- Completely skill based games: You won't find such games on any casino because these games are like chess which no one is much interested in playing online for money because there is an element of cheating always there with 100% skill games.
2- Partial Skill and partial luck based games: These are slowly getting famous as you need some luck and you need to use some skill/brain to win in these games. I give a small example like if you have 20 in blackjack and you press "HIT" it means you made a mistake and even luck cannot save you although no matter how skillful you are it always needs luck.

In fact the division that you make between skill based games does not exist, there are games in which luck plays almost no factor and there are those in which it its more prominent but your skill level should be high enough to overcome it, lets look at poker even if you have a lot of bad luck and you do not get any decent cards your skill should reflect this and you should avoid playing any big hands during that time and once your luck comes back and you get decent cards again then you can begin to play them to their maximum potential.

In fact, blackjack is very difficult to classify as a skill game even partially. The problem is the very low maximum skill level. If in chess you can improve endlessly, then in blackjack you just need to remember on which numbers to stop drawing a card.

Haven’t heard of skill game in casino slots, the only skill game I know in gambling is Poker. Preferably skill games are better because your chances of winning rely on your skills and experience in a particular game compared to a non-skilled games which are riskier.

Skill games are casino slots where you are rewarded based on your ability to play a game.

I'm not sure there is any sort of casino based slots that can be skill based - they are all controlled by automated algorithms and programmed odds to benefit the house. There are very few games you will find in a casino that are truly skill based - it's possible to get a small advantage against the house by playing perfect blackjack strategy from what I've read in the past. Poker also involves a heavy amount of skill and understanding all the odds as the hand progresses, but it does involve an element of bluffing which can make it slightly harder to build an advantage.

Blackjack and Poker are skill games but there is much difference between real-life and online casino games. The bluff on Poker is dangerous in online casinos but the chances are high for professional poker players to control the game with experience. Blackjack and craps have better winning odds, having the ability to throw dices on crap and counting the cards give an advantage to the gambler.

Somebody could think of a kind of arcade slots like where you'd play pinball slots with combinations being selected based on the places the ball hits.

There are versions based on this idea but they aren't really skill-based like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SevQsYM1Odo

It would be more fun if you could actually hit the ball like in real slots.

The Japanese have a type of skill based slot machine called pachinko. Check it out!

In playing gambling, almost all players on average use techniques not only hoping for luck, for example in playing in high low slots, every two times a low possibility appears high, so not only rely on luck, we also have to have expertise and the ability to read the movements of the gambling system. If you continue to rely on luck, maybe the chances of getting profit at gambling are very slim, every day you will definitely lose if you don't have a good pattern and skill. Almost every game in gambling must have its gaps and we have to take advantage of the smallest gaps in order to get big wins and profits.

It is still dependent on pure luck and nothing more. We may call it wishful thinking but it has absolutely nothing to do with skill.

That is simply blind belief. It doesn't actually provide anything other than a sense of trust about your luck, which may or may not really be in your favor. Not mincing my words, you're just lying to yourself about the chance of you actually winning since you lost twice in a row already. Chances are always reset with always try, so it's always possible to actually lose for your entire session without winning even once, so face that hard reality.

Read the movement of the gambling system? What are you a robot or something? Even robots wouldn't be able to actually show the results of a system made for pseudo randomization. It can, however, calculate the number of results and chances for each, but it can never identify whether you would win or not for each roll.

I prefer traditional slots, the skill games are dependent on luck in most aspects so I prefer to just play original slots. I’m not keen on relying on my relative lack of skill playing games which I’m clearly not an expert on.
I prefer to takes my chances with traditional slots for sure.

Most skill games are card games including poker. I think even skill games depend on luck. It still depends on our technique because after all, gambling is still gambling and there's still no guarantee of winning.  Despite relying on your skills, it still isn't enough to have an assurance that you'll still earn and win.

It's 50-50, you must have luck on cards but if you have experience, knowledge, and skills on that game, of course, you will not risk if you have nothing to do with your bad cards. Also, even if you have bad cards, you can still fool the opponent by using bluffing skills, it will always depend on you. You can always fold anytime, it's not obligated to bet always, in that way you will not lose.

Even though poker is a skill based game, there is a lot of luck involved. For example in my last two tournaments I went all in with AA and KK. Both of the hands where clear favourites ore flop and should have won in most cases, but I got busted against a set of 6s and my Kings vs a 89 offsuited straight. Sad times. Eventually the luck will come back, we just need to stick to our strategies and hope for the best.
