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

Your list is not complete dice is also a very popular game in casinos and it's considered a game of chance both slots and dice outcomes are based on chance and there's nothing you can do on your own to manipulate or control the outcome, on the other hand, poker is a game of skill it depends on how good you read your opponent's reaction, that is why there are's such a thing as poker face because poker players trained themselves to be without a reaction when playing.
Sports betting is also considered a game of chance because you can get a win by analyzing the team and the individual's performance against their opponents, if you're a follower of the sport you'll have an insight into who's the better team or individual.

Did you see this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445679.0 and it leaves you more questions so you research the entire web to look for further answers? If not, you can still check that out as the topic is also about "why crypto gambling is addictive".

Moving on, to answer your own question, I think the game of skill are blackjack, baccarat and poker but poker should be the purest one since it involves more cards and strategies. Blackjack would be the second and baccarat is last. Slot is the only game of chance there because the game is too basic. All you need to do is to push that spin button. You can not invent a strategy with it and if ever some insist, I still don't think that it will work.

All 4 games depends on both luck and chance; playing with others or the house depends on the condition of the game.  The skilled person may find himself in the midst of proficient players. Even, the slot game depends on the machine, a skilled person could get around some bucks in return and also fail if the machine is programmed at a lesser payout. As we keep playing a particular game, our skills improve on that game. Yet it depends on working closely with skilled gamblers to understand the game. They're people who don't make grave mistakes on slot and such people could also quit poker for slot games. Since they all fall in the category of gambling its linked to both terminologies.

That is indeed correct because slots machine are system generated and you can't make any decision on that aside from hitting the bet button while in porker and blackjack, you have to analyze your cards and your opponent or else you will be lose, though there still a chance for luck in poker but I think its not a pure luck based game. Gambling can be very risky, even if you play the game using your own skills there's still a higher chance to lose money, there's no guarantee in gambling after all.

If the game is determined by random variables then its a game of chance these are games in which you don't have to set up a strategy or a pattern because these will be useless,
If the game can be won by determining who is a stronger team or fighter against their opponents and you can summarize why the other team is better than the one then this is a game of skill, its easy to trace for casino players what are games of chance and games of skill, anything that requires a roll or pure bet is game of chance and anything where to two teams are competing are categorized as sports betting and you need the skill to determine a winner.

Blackjack is a kind of skill and it also requires luck because without a good luck it is difficult to win in Blackjack but in this case if you have a good understanding of the cards you can increase the chances of winning by using various tricks. Although gambling is also based on luck, winning at poker requires skill. And to win at pokar you must have skill and if you have this skill you can earn a lot of money from gambling

[Sandra_hakeem]

....to my own relative discreetion, every games needs them both.
Whatchu mean chance? Luck? If yes, then every game requires some piece of luck.
Poker needs alot of skills to start with, so you need to learn first.... although jack Does too but that's not even a problem compared to how coordinated you could make your odds, to be able to get a win.
I think everything about gambling isn't how much you know, but how lucky you are .... Cus if it's about the knowledge, alot would be winning and the relentless will continue on a daily pursuit.

this is why based from OP's question, it has long been known that poker is a game of skill. whereas, most casino classics are games of chance.
so if you want better chance of winning, maybe, start learning how a poker works but it would be years and years of experience to learn very good tactics. and in terms of those luck-based games, don't think that there's strategy that will give you tons of money because those known strategies will only work for certain period of time. if you don't know when to stop, all your winnings will just go back to the house.

[Mr.right85]

Generally, there ain't no skill in virtua or simulation games. That's the way I see it at least, it's always about the chances you took out of luck and the once you didn't take. It either ends badly or good for you but most times, the house winsa nd as such, you have to play for the fun and not really because of the money so, you better enjoy it. Gambling is more fun that way and when its otherwise, you might just be messing yourself up as there is no such thing as being too professional or skilled about it and this applies more to the casino games. Rest assured, most of the casinos do there bit to be fair and you would need luck on your side too.

[Peanutswar]

Among the choices given slots are the most ideal in terms of having a chance to win not all the time it's gives a huge win because all you need is to keep playing and clucking the role until you hit a huge multiplier that cope up all of your losses even though there's a jump head start still there's no assurance that you will take a good take run.

Other in the choices is reliable with the players decision to take the current state and make a risk of the bet or make fold and back out its their option.

You would be finding out for yourself once you do able to experience out these type of games.You would eventually be able to notice on what are the games which do needs strategy and which one is really just

depending or basing up on luck because it is really just that part of the code and its execution.Things which would really be needing up that strategy is into those games which does require your own
skills and knowledge about on certain games.

Its up to yours whether you would be dealing with luck based or skill based ones.You would be able to find for yourself which one suits into your interest.

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

you are correct, slot games are types of games that one depends on luck to win, in slot games one does not have to create any winning strategy, although even in games that depend on skill there is no such thing as 100% strategy Winning %, but it is still possible to create a good strategy and adding the fact of having good bankroll management it may be possible to make long-term profits, the problem is that in games where one has to have skills one does not earn a lot of money quickly , maybe in poker games, Balckjack players can even win a lot of money fast, but they need to put a lot of money in the bet

while in the case of slot games and so many other games that the person needs to be lucky to win, with less than 20$ it is possible to win a lot of money, just that the person is very lucky to win at the highest multiplier, obviously that and how to buy a lottery ticket and become the maximum prize winner, which we all know that it is not an easy task to win the lottery, but in the case of the slot, I see some people winning more often, which may mean that there must be some something else besides luck to win, perhaps they are people with a lot of practice or knowledge of the game and that is why they manage to win many times

[LogitechMouse]

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.

One factor here why online gambling industry has been growing rapidly is the fact that we had a pandemic.
Pandemic prevented those gamblers going out and go to a casino. Some of these gamblers really do want to spend their time gambling thus, they found a way, and they tried online gambling. Maybe some of those gamblers who are going on a casino preferred gambling online for various reasons. The rise is significant indeed, but if the pandemic didn't happen, I guess the growth will not be that huge.

~but my question is which one of these do you consider to be a game of skill or a game of chance?

Slots is pure chance I guess, Poker and Blackjack is both game of chance and skills because you need a bit of a luck in drawing the cards you need and you need skills or in this case experience so you will know what will you do. I don't know what Baccarat is, but I often hear it in some gamblers out there.

[Solosanz]

Any game will need a luck because you can't win at all time. In slots you're hope you will get huge multipliers, but you can't control, manipulating and predicting the next outcome of your spin. In blackjack and poker, you need to understand about the game and how to play it, this is skill. But you're also need a luck to hope your opponents doesn't really understand to play, if he's greater than you, you will lose more than him.

Also, Baccarat I think is a pure game of chance. But for the slots itself, many gambling platforms nowadays cheat and arrange for this game to have a low probability of winning, which makes it very difficult for users to be able to win. So even though slots are a pure game of chance, they are prone to being dishonest and orchestrated.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

    -   From the experience of playing gambling here in cryptocurrency gambling, the slot games are obviously a game of chance and Blackjack is something that can be called that you need to use skills, in roulette and poker I don't like those two.

Maybe later I will also try to play poker and Roulette so that I can also know what the nature of the game is for a gambler like me here in the crypto space.

[Kakmakr]

Poker and Blackjack are pure skill&luck games while slots and dice can be considered as only luck-based games. A gambler shouldn't even think about how to beat the house edge on dice but his chances are higher on the Blakcjack or Poker due to the lower house edge compared to provably fair games. Skills are more critical in sports but the luck factor shouldn't be ignored, that is why call it gambling.

Let's be honest.... online Poker is not the same as real 1on1 Poker, so there are not a lot of skill that can help you with online Poker. Yes, you need the knowledge about the game, but you do not have the ability to analyze your opponent to show you what their "tell" is or even to count cards.

In the end.. all online games are based on "luck" and some skill to know how the games work and what combinations to play. Any DICE strategies and Martingale type strategies are worthless.

Maybe it happens in some casinos but not in casinos that really uphold their reputation.
Roulette is also a game of luck besides baccarat but maybe, according to others, other gambling games are included in the game of chance and skill.
Blackjack is also a game of skill that is not as easy to play as Poker.
But we need to pay attention to how we don't use a lot of money in any gambling game, skills and opportunities because the gambling game will take our money without remaining if we can't limit ourselves.

I agree that it's mainly a game of chance. But, let's not discount the role of strategy in tipping the scales in your favor. Players with a few notches on their belts know the value of grasping the mechanics and cherry-picking the right machines. Prime spots and long-standing machines are like magnets to these players, as they're reputed to have a more generous payout.

I'll vouch for the lucrative side of slot games too. I've witnessed someone transform a meager $20 bet into an eye-popping jackpot. While luck undeniably has its part to play, fortune could smile upon you at any moment. Just be sure to gamble sensibly and within your limits to steer clear of addiction's dark embrace.

[elevates]

I just went through all the replies on this thread and found many members here confused with skill and luck. I mean luck is an important part of a gambler suit but skill will only help you to get a little advantage over the house but not money. The probability of winning a big amount is what makes gambling so irresistible and gives intense excitement.

So, you have gambled and you have decided which game is of chance or a game of skill but can someone provide me proof that they really made millions by playing a game you consider is skill-based or luck based?
