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

For me, gambling games are a form of addiction where the players believed that in the near future they will become rich at once when they hit the jackpot. That's why most of them rely on luck, not on skills dependent although some of them applied strategy for them to get profit most of the time.

No, the context of the OP is that there are casinos that offer skill-based games and it doesn't mean that there will be no risk there. It will still be based on luck as these casinos will not operate these skill based games if it was in the first place, easy. Though, the benefit of this is that gamblers will have a large variety of games to play with as it adheres to their type of player whether they want more action, or just want minimal movements and rely solely on luck.I just wonder if sports bet is considered as skill-based game since the skills are handled by the players, not by the bettors.

Hey guys Wink

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.

Have you played these games?
If not and you want to know more about different skill games, please read our new blog post: What are skill games and how do they work?

Let us know which ones do you prefer = traditional slots or skill games?

Thanks,
Karl

A gambler who has skills will make blackjack, poker, or other card games as their favorite gambling games because they can use their skills to beat the opponent. They will prefer to play the gambling games base on the skills than to use the base of the game on the luck because they think that they will have a chance to win if they play the games that base on the skills.

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.

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;)

Seems kinda cool, you can bet on skill games a few times I've seen but externally not within the casino itself.    Its harder to regulate when its 3rd party games being bet on but within a casino seems a fine idea to test out and see if people enjoy themselves on it.   Its very hard to call this in advance, slots work because its equal opportunities and anyone can win is both the attraction and downside.
   A skill game can be hard to acquire a base of players who understand and want to put in the effort to improve their ability to win.
I actually prefer slots and luck based games over skill based games because I have been cheated numerous times in skill based games and the opponent used scripts such that computer was making his moves and I was always losing. These kind of cheating can never be eliminated because we are playing games online and cannot see the player so he can use various bots and hacks to cheat and win against us.

I had a match with my friends as a squad and we played a paid PubgM tournament against a team and we got brutally cheated as they used ESP hacks and killed us all within moments and we cannot claim anything since there is no way to prove that they were cheating so I rather ride my luck then someone else fooling me.

I don't know why many people don't like slot game this time around just because the game required luck not experience to win.
That's why I prefer skill game because it hard for someone to miss the bet for the match. I think skill game have this potential of making good money without more stress.

Those who possess good skills for the games where the skills are helpful in making you win those one will continue to love the skills games than luck. Since not all of them can have the fine skill to win the games so may would be dependent on the luck as well, though luck is important for any game but not every game can be won by pure luck. Some games like blackjack, poker etc are the ones where your skill and experience also counts.

Perhaps, they can play gambling games based on the luck for some other time to see if they have other luck on those games or not. Skill games really need more time to learn and understand the games, and if you do not have time to learn, then perhaps, the luck games will be the games for you to play.

I just voted for the skill games. Who wants to bet with me that who will win the poll is the skill games?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Looks like skill based games are clearly winning and tearing apart the slots games but then when you see the casinos there are hardly any skill based games apart from a few cards games. Maybe in coming time casinos will implement some skill based games and also some PvP games so that we can compete against players and not against a giant house.

I love skill based games like Chess and actually I play paid fantasy games where we have to make our team of certain players and compete against other players based on the performance of our team and players we get points and highest points win, but those games are available only in fiat no crypto based games out there yet.
Not a fan of Chess but there are plenty of skill games in live gambling providers. Blackjack is clearly the winner here because the perfect Blackjack strategy is the most common cheatsheet used by gamblers. The Bacarrat is a luck-based low skill game but both games have the lowest house edge, IMHO. The wizard of odds website has the calculations for finding the house edge after the dealer shows up the face card but on average the house edge is around 1.5%. Poker is not my cup of tea due to the high level of required skill and I can't bluff without showing my emotions.

The problem is that the skill ceiling in blackjack is very low and any croupier who has completed the course will easily beat any professional blackjack player simply due to the fact that mathematics is on his side. In poker, the situation is roughly similar, but all the players are on equal terms.

It all depends on how big the dealer's deck is. Some players are able to count cards perfectly and place bets when they are sure that this time there is a great chance of winning. I would say that blackjack is much more demanding on the player's skill than playing roulette or dice.
You also mentioned poker. I used to play this game quite often, and thanks to the skill, I even managed to win small tournaments on PokerStars. I know that some players have been playing poker for many years and make a living from it. Is it possible to earn only on luck for many years? I think not. They play professionally.

yeah it is better to play skills game.

However, I think it is more better to play esports because you can really showcase your skills or may it be called as talent. It could also be rewarding like if you really intend to master the game you wanted to play like here in our place to which Dota2 is always played by the gamer may it adults or kids.

I know that kids should have gone studying in school but they tend to have more time than adult playing or jusy fun of watching other gamer playing. Other internet cafe are not advising the kids or telling them that standby in the cafe is not allowed. However, mostly internet cafe does allow them to standby in the internet cafe which is a negative part of that kid growing up.

But I could not consider blackjack as a form of skill games because most of the skill games require more physical activity, practice, and time to win.

Blackjack is a skill-game when you are against real-human. Skill is needed here because you are about to challenge against the dealer's card. If you are against the house, then you are purely relying on luck.

There is a call for every turn so it depends on how far you are satisfied with your card set.

Just like in Poker, that specific executed call will be the basis of how your opponents will make their next move.

I just heard that the site blackjack.fun, a gambling site that purely focuses on blackjack, will add multiplayer features. That's the battle between skills if that will implement.

The problem is that the skill ceiling in blackjack is very low and any croupier who has completed the course will easily beat any professional blackjack player simply due to the fact that mathematics is on his side. In poker, the situation is roughly similar, but all the players are on equal terms.

Mathematics is only on the casino side mostly because they have those large multidecks with auto shufflers essentially negating any real chance at card counting. Still, with good predictive analysis you can get your odds on blackjack to pretty darn close to 50/50 which is better than most games.

In gambling there is no such thing as skill and more precisely how our luck from day to day, is not the same as coin price analysis in terms of trading that we can learn from time to time, in terms of pure gambling how luck is on our side, there are times when only one the experiment we immediately got a jack pot, but on the other hand, when we have tried many times, we never got a jack pot because we haven't had any luck at all. I have also tried the mines game on stake, still the analysis I use can always be defeated by their game system, from here we conclude that the skill in the gambling game is absolutely from luck on our side or not.

I also think that some sort of luck is always required in gambling. Many rummy sites in India are operating just with excuse that they are providing skill based games. Prediction based games are also able to run with this excuse only in India.

However, if the games are fair , I do not have problem with these games. For this purpose, one must ensure that he is playing on a trusted site with good reviews. There are many such sites advertising on this forum itself and one can choose as per his interests.

I was running so good in black jack in the last few months. I kept always breaking even or finish with a nice profit. But now after 2 weeks of gambling a bit more, I am down over $180, which is really frustrating. I kept trusting my strategy and believed in the skill aspect of the game. After running hot for so long I kept forgetting about the luck factor more and more. The rest of my bankroll is for my poker games so now I need to take a break from black jack until November. The last weeks just made me realise that luck is still a big part of gambling.

For me the game that I know of where you use certain skills are mostly card games like poker and black jack. I am not sure how you can put slot machines in the same level with poker and other more sophisticated gambling like mah-jong. If you think about it, playing slots has something to do with pushing buttons and then waiting for luck to make sure you get the same images on a row. I maybe wrong of course, but my opinion about games that require certain skills is that it will be hopefully the most played games in casinos and I am also interested more in making sure these skilled players should also share their abilities to non skilled players. And I mean sharing their expertise in gambling and staying productive and staying away from anxiety and over gambling.

Games that I played based on skills are Sports betting, Poker and Tongits (a traditional card game here).

They are fun to play with but aside from your skills (to have an edge to win) luck is also necesssary in order to have a high chance of winning.

So having skills plus luck are needed, thats why there are gamblers who make gambling as profession or relying on it for a living.


It’s a combination of luck and skill that helps you win the game. Though some of the games are just based on the luck and not skills and in some games we require to use our skills and strategy to win the games and if luck is with us then winning becomes easy.

Yes majority of gambling games are more on luck so there's no guarantee to win. This is the reason why gamblers who are not prepared for the outcome tend to chase back what they lost due to lack of acceptance losing their money.

Having a knowledge and strategy to use for a particular game is better, but skill based game doesnt necessarily mean of sure profit, you just have a high chance.

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.
