Which Game do you think is a Game of Chance or a Game of Skill?

[ralle14]

I also agree with Yogee, Blackjack is a game of skill as you have to think most of the time and choose your moves precisely every round based on the cards you'll get so they require skills but that doesn't mean we can always win through skills alone since the dealer can still change the outcome depending on the cards they get despite picking the best moves possible. Baccarat on the other hand is similar to slots and other games that rely on luck since the dealer will be the one to do everything once the round starts.

Slot is totally a game of luck. As for poker it involves skill before luck because if you don't have the skill and you are playing with someone more skillful in the game than you, definitely he will win you.

Luck comes in when both players are skillful and a slight mistake can be used against you due to his luck and skill. Though in gambling luck is the most important thing because you might be skillful enough but if you are not on your lucky day..sorry you will be a loser.

I was recently browsing the internet on a topic as to why cryptocurrency gambling games are so addictive. This topic is not only about online crypto gambling please do remember this before replying.

While going through multiple websites for my topic I found out that the online gambling industry has been growing rapidly. The growth has been significant as in 2021 the global online gambling industry size was recorded at $61.5 Billion, whereas it went up to $79.8 Billion in 2022. The rise as per my understanding is significant.

While going through different websites I stumbled upon many websites which were about the top most played games in online casinos in 2021-2022. I have listed down the top 4 most played games below but my question is which one of these do you consider to be a game of skill or a game of chance?

• Slots
• Balckjack
• Baccarat
• Poker

I agree since if you think, when playing slots you are just simply there waiting for results, no strategy involved, just pure play of luck. Thus, it is indeed a game of chance, where there is no slightest guarantee of win when you analyze it. On the other hand, Poker is a game where you can assess the game and have a bet that is from your experience and skill with the game. Although, we might say that luck also is a part of it, we can still classify it as a game of skill since basically you can apply your skills to it in order for you to win.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, slot games are games of chance based on the luck of each player. If the player can get lucky, he can win big or small. But that luck will not always come every time he plays slot games and luck will surely move to other people.

But the game of Poker is a game of skill where we need the knowledge to play Poker properly. Many people learn to play Poker but not many people succeed in mastering the game of Poker.

But whatever the gambling game, we can experience gambling addiction because gambling games can make us come back after winning or losing.

No, the four gambling games, I do not admit the game is a game of skill, after I read your topic I remember the sources I've read about: CAN YOU WIN: GAMES OF SKILL

The history of gaming cannot be traced back to an exact period in time, but it is known that it has been around since the beginning of civilization. Games of skill require more than just a push of a button or the roll of a dice. The three games that fall under the Games of Skill category are Draw Poker, Blackjack and Pai Gow. However, there are a few games that are placed within the games of skill category. Texas hold'em, Craps and Roulette are games that often are categorized incorrectly. Most players think that these games require skill and in some aspects they do, however, they are not considered games of skill. When gambling, what is the true difference between games of skill and chance? In a game of chance, the house has the advantage, and in the game of skill, the player must know the game thoroughly to have the ability to change the game and gain the advantage. People usually think there are more games of skill than there actually are. For example, Craps, Roulette and Texas hold'em are sometimes mistaken for games of skill. The paper will develop a clear distinction between games of chance and skill; the three major games of skill are Blackjack, Poker, and Pai Gow.

Conclusion: Believe it or not, whatever type of game is on online gambling sites, everything is luck. Game of skill, just undercover.

Slots as for me is a game with pure chances while poker and blackjack are strategic games where we could apply skills but there's no guarantee that if we apply skills, we'll always win over the house.
Luck still exists in all forms of gambling, especially in online casinos.
Having skills will be somehow an advantage but isn't reliable all the time. Our fate mostly still relies on luck.

Lucky existing in all games makes all in the list a game of chance. Like the lottery, slot is also like a game of luck. Even if users already know these, it didn't stop them from playing it. Anyway, if the game needs the player to know something about rules and which card beats the other means it really needs skills to beat the house.

OP only asks a question but has to insert different links in his post. This is quite odd.

Each game is closely related to two, namely luck and skill. But there are some games that require a greater percentage of skill and only require a smaller percentage of luck in them. Vice versa.
These two factors can never be separated.
Regarding slot games, I think slots are games that require luck and are different from poker which require greater skill in playing so I will say yes to your question.

How much time and money have you spent playing these two games and how do you feel friend?
If in one week you are active almost every day playing, then you will find a more accurate answer.

All above games are game of chance (luck needed) but few of them required skills in order to play it better.
Poker is the game that required skills although we can play without skills at all but it is not recommended ofc.
Poker without skills mostly happen in free tournament where some people do all in all the time, I've seen it many times when I was actively participating in free poker tournament.
Blackjack also required skills to read the card and to decide what to do with our hand.

This question has been answered  on this forum.

Slot: think about it, what could be the ability...  nothing, the ability in this case is not intrinsic to the game, but to the player, e.g. in his good management of the bets, his budget to gambling etc.

The rest, BJ, Baccarat may require numerical skills, but if you have them, you probably don't play BJ, lol, but obviously they do require experience and skill.

Poker, to summarize it, some experts say that it is 80% skill, 20% Lucky, although it is inappropriate to give an exact percentage, but without a doubt, the Poker it is in which in the long term you can get good income, that largely this happens to the player's skills.

[lizarder]

Yes. I have to agree with your opinion on this, I have played both of these games and the longest is Poker. But to be honest, I am more knowledgeable about the game of Poker and it really helps train my memory in playing.

I think Slots is a game of chance and Poker is a game of skills. Do you agree?

Slots rely more on luck because there are no patterns and strategies to play this game as far as I know, while Poker requires intelligence and skill to play it, if you don't master it you can be sure you will lose to other people, even though there are times when we get bad luck from the game Poker, even though the cards we hold are good, bad luck can happen.

A very common term that we know from the game Poker, Full House, Royal Flush, Four of a Kind, Straight, Straight Flush, Flush, Three of a Kind, One Pair, Two Pair and High Card. For poker players, this term is quite familiar, which we know from the arrangement of cards in playing poker.

[Casdinyard]

Blackjack is a game of skill, with a bit of luck mixed into it, as with most of the games you play in the casino really. On the other hand, Dice games are exclusively based upon chance and are not (at least I hope) determined by any parameter or rule that is set upon by the casino or the players. Frankly enough you could look at every casino and you'd find that most card games are based upon chance, with blackjack and poker being exclusively based on skills, and even those two still have some element of luck that put into play, that could oftentimes determine the outcome of your game.

Exactly. Slots literally just require you to crank a lever and hope for the best the rest of these games at least involve some human cognitive aspect to win.

I don't agree with you. It happens that even a professional poker player gets bad cards several times in a row, which leads to the loss of money. I think differently - luck plays an important role in any game of chance and it should not be forgotten. Professionalism is good, but when you also have luck with you, it's an explosive mix.

For now, Slots is a game that is more popular than the games on your list. because, slots do not require skill to play them. As for Blackjack, at least this game isn't like you're playing slots. you also need experience, it can also involve technique even though it doesn't require extra skills like playing poker.
Well, Baccarat is the game that I like the most, this game is easy, simple, but requires a very high level of patience. at least, in a game of Baccarat, one has to be more careful. because of this game, it will often involve you being a little disturbed emotionally.

Speaking of poker, in my experience, the only casino gambling that really requires skill is poker. besides that, playing poker also trains high patience. In essence, the game is more complex than the types of games in your list of threads.
however, gambling that has continued to exist until now is sports betting. Sports betting also requires skills, knowledge, and experience. So, it's not just poker that requires skill. but, of all the gambling that we discuss in this thread. only slot games that are really easy to play, practical, and offer rewards that are no less unique than other types of gambling games.

Not really. A good player will fold instantly after getting cards that don't promise anything and the only thing they use is the blind which often is just a few dollars.
You can keep folding for a long time and then win once and reset everything. This is something you can't do playing dice, unless you martingale.
I agree with OP that poker is a game of skill but most games only depend on your luck.

It's obvious and doesn't need much discussion - which games have people been able to master over entire lifetimes and turn a profit? It's basically only poker on that list, which still includes an element of chance but it can  be overruled in the long run by skilled players. A truly skilled poker player can read others around them, subtly price up bets to determine value, bluff their hands if positioned perfectly and generally take many profitable steps. However blackjack (not including card counting which will get you ejected) will always favor the house in the long run, as the dealer will have a fixed play up to 16 or 17. Slots are a farce and nothing other than flashing lights, noises and graphics trying to visually impress.

[Hispo]

I think all of them are games of chance, basically random with the exception of Blackjack and Poker which can have a component of skill which my depend on the player to read the physical cues of their foes, in order to take advantage of it.

I believe that is one of the reasons there are people who rather to play live Poker or blackjack, instead their virtual/electronic equivalents.
The live poker tournaments can be more entertaining, in my humble opinion.

[Finestream]

Slots and Baccarat are games of luck/chance, you don't really need a skill in order to win. as for blackjack and poker, though you still need luck playing these games, the game heavily relies on your decisions, strategy, and knowledge of the game if you want the round to end in your favor.

Right. Slots and baccarat are purely a game of chance and luck. They provide the best odds in the casino that makes them very exciting to play. And to think that they are games of chances, there’s no need to use any strategy or skill to win. However, for blackjack and poker, these are the games that are more skilled based, but still luck is also needed. But if you are a player with high knowledge and skills, you will eventually make an advantage from these games as best players always end up making the best profits in the casino.

Beside Poker here every other game is a game of chance and  yes I know about Blackjack that you remember and count the cards but that in online casinos have been eliminated as they play with a big number of card decks and not like traditional Blackjack we are used to when we play in a physical casino,so this makes also Blackjack a game of chance.Slot machines are the devil in person,exactly the devil in person,they deceive you in the worse possible way and you end up losing a huge amount of money if you are not careful there,I am talking from personal experience,every time I am winning with a minimal bet the moment I raise it,it is game over really fast.Baccarat don't know as I have never played it.

Slots- Luck
Blackjack- Skill
Baccarat- Luck
Poker- Skill

Just like others been pointing out that that online blackjack is somewhat particularly needs up some luck most of the time which i do agree though.
In overall, if you do really want to have that have fun then its up to someones preference on which one he would really be preferring into.
