Haven’t heard of skill game in casino slots, the only skill game I know in gambling is Poker. Preferably skill games are better because your chances of winning rely on your skills and experience in a particular game compared to a non-skilled games which are riskier.
There are other skilled based games, the other major example is sports betting, even if the house edge is there you can overcome it by having a deep knowledge about the sport and the players, now while it may seem impossible to be more knowledgeable than the casinos at the same time you do not have to take the odds as they first appear, the odds of a match change not only to reflect the will of those making the bets, sometimes casinos need to balance their books as well and they give better offers once the market has been open for a long time giving you the chance of getting better odds than otherwise possible.
Playing games in a slot machine is not basically called as skilled based game co'z your opponent might be a computer or a real person. And also the game can be manipulated by the computer. If you want a real skilled based game you should play online games like mobile legends, wild drift and etc. your skills can be tested by those game and you can also play with money involved by betting.

Most skill games are card games including poker. I think even skill games depend on luck. It still depends on our technique because after all, gambling is still gambling and there's still no guarantee of winning.  Despite relying on your skills, it still isn't enough to have an assurance that you'll still earn and win.

Even though poker is a skill based game, there is a lot of luck involved. For example in my last two tournaments I went all in with AA and KK. Both of the hands where clear favourites ore flop and should have won in most cases, but I got busted against a set of 6s and my Kings vs a 89 offsuited straight. Sad times. Eventually the luck will come back, we just need to stick to our strategies and hope for the best.

Luck would always be a main factor for you to win neither you do play with strategic type of games or luck based ones or even on poker.
There are really times which you do really feel confident on your hand but you dont know on whats on the other side or on your opponents hand too.
I have experience several frustrations like these where i do believe that ill surely won it but it gave out the opposite outcome.

The advantage here on strategic or skill based one is that you can apply your skills and knowledge which will add up into
your winning chances against others.

It's 50-50, you must have luck on cards but if you have experience, knowledge, and skills on that game, of course, you will not risk if you have nothing to do with your bad cards. Also, even if you have bad cards, you can still fool the opponent by using bluffing skills, it will always depend on you. You can always fold anytime, it's not obligated to bet always, in that way you will not lose.

I prefer traditional slots, the skill games are dependent on luck in most aspects so I prefer to just play original slots. I’m not keen on relying on my relative lack of skill playing games which I’m clearly not an expert on.
I prefer to takes my chances with traditional slots for sure.

In playing gambling, almost all players on average use techniques not only hoping for luck, for example in playing in high low slots, every two times a low possibility appears high, so not only rely on luck, we also have to have expertise and the ability to read the movements of the gambling system. If you continue to rely on luck, maybe the chances of getting profit at gambling are very slim, every day you will definitely lose if you don't have a good pattern and skill. Almost every game in gambling must have its gaps and we have to take advantage of the smallest gaps in order to get big wins and profits.
That is simply blind belief. It doesn't actually provide anything other than a sense of trust about your luck, which may or may not really be in your favor. Not mincing my words, you're just lying to yourself about the chance of you actually winning since you lost twice in a row already. Chances are always reset with always try, so it's always possible to actually lose for your entire session without winning even once, so face that hard reality.

Read the movement of the gambling system? What are you a robot or something? Even robots wouldn't be able to actually show the results of a system made for pseudo randomization. It can, however, calculate the number of results and chances for each, but it can never identify whether you would win or not for each roll.

It is still dependent on pure luck and nothing more. We may call it wishful thinking but it has absolutely nothing to do with skill. Wink

Somebody could think of a kind of arcade slots like where you'd play pinball slots with combinations being selected based on the places the ball hits.

There are versions based on this idea but they aren't really skill-based like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SevQsYM1Odo

It would be more fun if you could actually hit the ball like in real slots.

The Japanese have a type of skill based slot machine called pachinko. Check it out!

Blackjack and Poker are skill games but there is much difference between real-life and online casino games. The bluff on Poker is dangerous in online casinos but the chances are high for professional poker players to control the game with experience. Blackjack and craps have better winning odds, having the ability to throw dices on crap and counting the cards give an advantage to the gambler.

Do you know what skill games are?

Skill games are casino slots where you are rewarded based on your ability to play a game.
In other words, the outcome is determined by your skills, rather than by chance.


I'm not sure there is any sort of casino based slots that can be skill based - they are all controlled by automated algorithms and programmed odds to benefit the house. There are very few games you will find in a casino that are truly skill based - it's possible to get a small advantage against the house by playing perfect blackjack strategy from what I've read in the past. Poker also involves a heavy amount of skill and understanding all the odds as the hand progresses, but it does involve an element of bluffing which can make it slightly harder to build an advantage.

Actually skill game is a wide term because there are 2 types of games when we talk about skill based games.

1- Completely skill based games: You won't find such games on any casino because these games are like chess which no one is much interested in playing online for money because there is an element of cheating always there with 100% skill games.
2- Partial Skill and partial luck based games: These are slowly getting famous as you need some luck and you need to use some skill/brain to win in these games. I give a small example like if you have 20 in blackjack and you press "HIT" it means you made a mistake and even luck cannot save you although no matter how skillful you are it always needs luck.

In fact, blackjack is very difficult to classify as a skill game even partially. The problem is the very low maximum skill level. If in chess you can improve endlessly, then in blackjack you just need to remember on which numbers to stop drawing a card.

I didn't think that there would be a skill games in casino. I tried to open your games in the blog you've linked in your post but it looks like non of them are working for me. I think it's restricted in my country but I opened an account in Bitcasino. Still I prefer sports games if talking about skill games

In fact the division that you make between skill based games does not exist, there are games in which luck plays almost no factor and there are those in which it its more prominent but your skill level should be high enough to overcome it, lets look at poker even if you have a lot of bad luck and you do not get any decent cards your skill should reflect this and you should avoid playing any big hands during that time and once your luck comes back and you get decent cards again then you can begin to play them to their maximum potential.

Actually with the last type you've mentioned, it's true that it requires skills.

There are many gambling games that do require skills. You can depend with your luck but it's wise to have a strategy and skill as you gamble. It's common to a gambler to have a skill in his niche game.

Yep,,, I always see the same few names play in poker if I enter, so it is very clear that those with a bit of skill can beat the average population and make their games +EV (by taking other player pots early and taking tournament prize cash). I wish I was as good in such card games but I know my place:) No skill means gamble just for fun;)

You can have good skills in card games if you learn more about that games Grin
That is a requirement to be a good poker player and the other card games. But you can just gamble for fun without learning if you don't want to learn.
Perhaps, to learn poker game needs a passion for searching for many lessons, so we only see the same few names play in poker because people think that poker is one gambling game that needs skills to play.

~snip~

Apart from having adequate skills, a gambler should also have mental toughness. Good skills without having mental toughness will make their steps less consistent, but if they have mental toughness so they can play consistently, calm in every situation, and wouldn't make many mistakes that could cause them to lose.

Without having mental toughness, that player can get a bluff from other players, and he can't manage his emotion or think how to get rid of the other player's trick. Having skills, calm in every situation will be needed in poker games and other gambling games base on skills. Instead, getting bluff from other players will not make him give up, but that is a challenge for him to defend his position.

Skill games for me are one of the risks to play because you cannot measure the capability of a person.
You consider this as risky compare to the luck and chances? Well, if you don't trust your skills in the first place you are already lost even the game hasn't started yet. It all depends on your perspective on how you see things differently even if your opponent is skillful, every gamers should have at least a secret weapon under their sleeves. It's called outsmarting your opponent just like how you play chess you planned carefully your next move, that's how skills should work.

Skill games have a risk but it is called skill games because you have the chance to minimize the risk by being skilled. And I should add that skilled players can measure the capability of an opponent if they've seen them play, and of course they know they are skilled that is why they can think of their next move to win the game. I think you've got the opposite of what's riskier and not, because on skilled games, risk can be minimize, but in luck games, there's always a fixed risk of losing, you can't even measure the capability of your luck.
Skill based games without a doubt can help you to minimize the risks when you are gambling but that is not all you still need to carefully monitor your capital at all times, after all is not rare even for a skilled player to make the mistake of getting mad when something does not go his way and then to try to recover his money in a single bet, if you do this then it does not matter how skilled you are in that game you will eventually lose all your money as it is impossible to survive for long with those kind of money management skills.
