U.S. Judge Declares Poker (Not Gambling) A Game Of Skill
(We just heard this blip of news on CNN and looked it up to find the article to post here for all of us)
"One of the age old arguments surrounding poker is whether or not the game is based on skill or luck. The government of the United States of America have always said poker was a game of chance and therefore it fell under the Illegal Gambling Business Act (IGBA) of 1970 but yesterday a federal judge ruled" -------- (click link below for full article),
http://www.pokerchanneleurope.com/ne...game-of-skill/
""The effects of this ruling will not become apparent immediately but they do give some serious ammunition to our State-side cousins who have been fighting to have this wonderful game legalised, regulated and licensed for the past few years.""
