Thats what they should of said, since we have the State run lottery here now.

This is a blip of an article, providing at best no information, and at worst seriously misleading information, about both NC state law and NCSU's position toward gambling on University computers. FWIW, the article does not say the University believes gambling is illegal, it says a state auditor found the games were illegal. E-mailing the U. to complain about whether they're right in their opinion, that they may or may not have, about poker as a game of chance is laughable.

It is also against North Carolina laws to lose to Akron in a football game.

You will have to Google it, I don't have it saved, but there have definitely been jurisdictions that recognize poker as a game of skill.

I agree--luck(chance) on the cards you get--skill in how you play them
