Editing Game of chance (section)

== Skill ==
Some games that involve an element of luck may also require a certain level of skill. This is particularly evident when players need to make decisions based on prior knowledge or incomplete information, as seen in games like [[blackjack]]. In contrast, games such as roulette and ''punto banco'' [[baccarat (card game)|(baccarat)]] rely more on chance, with players having the choice to determine their bet amount and selection, leaving the outcome largely to luck. Consequently, these games are categorized as games of chance, although a minimal skill component is still involved.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://casinoobserver.com/baccarat-strategy.htm |title=Baccarat Strategy Guide |publisher=CasinoObserver.com |access-date=2013-03-06 |archive-date=2012-11-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121119043015/http://casinoobserver.com/baccarat-strategy.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> 

The distinction between 'chance' and 'skill' is relevant because in some countries, chance games are illegal or at least [[Gaming law|regulated]], but skill games are not.<ref name="nyti_Opin">{{Cite web |last=McManus |first=James |date=2012-08-24 |title=Poker, an American Pastime and a Game of Skill |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/25/opinion/poker-an-american-pastime-and-a-game-of-skill.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180626030905/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/25/opinion/poker-an-american-pastime-and-a-game-of-skill.html |archive-date=2018-06-26 |access-date=2018-06-25 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref name="nyti_Winf">{{Cite web |author=Drape |first=Joe |date=2016-08-04 |title=Win for DraftKings and FanDuel Opens Door for Sports Betting in New York |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/sports/new-york-fantasy-sports-law-opens-door-for-more-gambling.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180626030913/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/sports/new-york-fantasy-sports-law-opens-door-for-more-gambling.html |archive-date=2018-06-26 |access-date=2018-06-25 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>  Since there is no standardized definition, [[poker]], for example, has been ruled a game of chance in Germany and, by at least one New York state Federal judge, a game of skill.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Secret |first=Mosi |date=2012-08-21 |title=Poker, a Game of Skill, Is Not Truly Gambling, a Judge Rules |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/22/nyregion/poker-is-more-a-game-of-skill-than-of-chance-a-judge-rules.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180626001550/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/22/nyregion/poker-is-more-a-game-of-skill-than-of-chance-a-judge-rules.html |archive-date=2018-06-26 |access-date=2018-06-25 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>
