Default Re: Is Online Poker Subject A Game Subject to Chance? (Philosophy)

I'm not taking a position here, I am trying to flesh out what this all means. "Subject to chance" seems very vague to me. Even chess for instance...which I think most would agree is a game of skill, can be subject to chance...if that definition is stretched to include blunders, or even whether one GM happened to prepare for a particular openning. But I am fairly convinced that I could play someone else online chess for money and that was not intended to be covered by the act. And I think that any site sponsering this should not be subject to penalty.

I guess what I am looking for what it is that makes a game subject to chance as meant by this act.

I think if this cannot be defined then the law is too vague to be applicable.
