Were you familiar with the gutshot case? Do you know why they weren't able to produce data showing that the game is based on skill? Or was that not the point?

There was evidence presented on both sides, and the judge ruled that it was a game of luck for the purpose of the gaming statute. He did not say there was no skill.

Tic-tac-toe is a game of skill in the sense that an experienced player can beat a complete novice, or an idiot. But anyone with any degree of intelligence can master the game in a few minutes.

For most people it's not enough to prove that there is some level of skill, you have to show that there is skill beyond a minimal level.
