All gambling games are games of chance... the chances of winning or losing are always there, we have all seen numerous times how people fall down even with 98% winning chances (in any game), and incredible wins against all odds (again in any game).
To play any gambling game we need to know how that game works and to have some kind of strategy, I guess we can say that even "random betting" is some kind of strategy, placing bets and hoping for the best, which works from time to time probably.
Poker is also a game of chance, and to play poker and make a profit we need luck as well. Just skill is in vain if we simply don't get nice cards and luck with flop-turn-river.

Slots is a gambling game based on chance or luck while poker is based on skill or skill. So before you decide which gamble to play, you have to look for the information first so you don't make a mistake in gambling. And if you already like certain types of gambling games, you also have to learn to control yourself because all gambling games can make you addicted to gambling and that has happened to many people.
But if you want to play gambling, you have to think about luck, which determines your victory. So you shouldn't feel lucky today because your luck might just go away.
But if you want to play gambling, you have to think about luck, which determines your victory. So you shouldn't feel lucky today because your luck might just go away.
Slots is completely a game of luck. You can do nothing to change outcome of a game with it. Poker is very complicated. Its also mainly game of luck because cards you receive is all about your luck. Its random. But if you can observe the game, read your opponents' mind through, manipulate them with your surprising moves etc. you can definitely change outcome. Skill and intelligence parts of poker is so influential its important aspect of game. That's why people may prefer to watch poker but noone would watch someone playing slots.
These two games are actually not games of luck because we as gamblers can use various ways to win them.Like slot games, we can use a pattern strategy when buying spins so that we can get a free scatter on normal spins and the chances of the jackpot coming out can be bigger.
But if poker games at online casinos might really be a game of luck because we don't know directly who our opponents are and how the distribution of the cards that are given works so there is a possibility of manipulation.
And the game of poker can be said to be a game that requires intelligence and intelligence to process cards only applies to poker which is played physically.

I was recently browsing the internet on a topic as to why cryptocurrency gambling games are so addictive. This topic is not only about online crypto gambling please do remember this before replying.
While going through multiple websites for my topic I found out that the online gambling industry has been growing rapidly. The growth has been significant as in 2021 the global online gambling industry size was recorded at $61.5 Billion, whereas it went up to $79.8 Billion in 2022. The rise as per my understanding is significant.
While going through different websites I stumbled upon many websites which were about the top most played games in online casinos in 2021-2022. I have listed down the top 4 most played games below but my question is which one of these do you consider to be a game of skill or a game of chance?
I think Slots is a game of chance and Poker is a game of skills. Do you agree?
To be honest, all the gambling games are game of chance. Yeah, some do depend on your skill, but in the end, you luck plays the greatest role when gambling. Slots compeletely depends on luck, you just spin and wait for the outcome. So you Slots has 0 skills involved. Blackjack does require a little skill, like when you split or surrender or stand, but in the end, the next card always decides the out come. So if you are lucky, you win, or else you lose. Same goes for poker. You do need some skill to play poker, but if luck isn't by your side, you might lose your straight flush hand to a royal flush hand.

My unpopular opinion on this is that all online casino games are both based on luck and skill. The difference is that in some games, the luck to skill ratio is higher than in others. For example games like Slots, Roulette, Craps ,Baccarat, Bingo, Keno has a high luck to skill ratio unlike games like Blackjack, Poker where the skill to luck ratio is higher. In most games characterized by luck, one do not need any strategy to win because the outcome of the game is random and not based on the decision of the player. In addition, stacked up against player. In skill based games, critical and strategic thinking is required with a sprinkle of luck. It is not really black or white. There are shades of grey too.

Crash games also, but others have strategy on it and depend on their playstyle, but when it comes to card games, i would say skills, as those with experience, are really great on those games, like playing against an experienced player against a newbie, for sure, even if the experienced player received a bad card, he can still manage to win it, unlike on those slots, roulette, and crash games, where no matter how experienced you are, it is always a game of luck.
I will answer according to my experience
a game that uses more skill is poker. In this game, almost all gamblers know that just memorizing the type of card sequence, maybe it's very easy, but when we play poker directly against people at the table, it's not as easy as we imagine. because even though our cards are bad but we have a strategy to frighten our opponents we will surely win, depending on our strategy.
so I would say poker is a type of game that uses skill.
for a game of chance, i would choose slots,
slot games have been designed in such a way as possible by RNG and it is really real that comes from a machine that we cannot predict nor do we want to use any strategy in slot games if your chances are low or unlucky, I don't think you will win in slot games.

Sports betting is also not a game of skill. Yes, the previous performances of the team will help you analyze the performances of the team but i would no call it a skill.
As skill is something in which you become perfect, will always give you rights results. However, in this case, no matter how well you know a player, the betting results will still remain uncertain and a weak team / player can also win the match and may give you higher odds if you take risk and bet on low rated players.
Similar like poker where you've mastered it and know how to win, but you will not always get a good cards and the same happen your opponents will not always get a bad cards. If you're can always win using royal flush combination, no one will want to play because they will always lose.As skill is something in which you become perfect, will always give you rights results. However, in this case, no matter how well you know a player, the betting results will still remain uncertain and a weak team / player can also win the match and may give you higher odds if you take risk and bet on low rated players.
Since you're thinking a skill is something we're perfect about it, I consider PVP is more make sense because it's always same from the beginning and nothing changed.

Since we are talking only about online gambling then the only game that is a game of skill in which it is possible to produce profits is poker, and while blackjack can be considered a game of skill too as you can increase your chances to win with the right strategy, this is not enough to make you a profitable gambler when you are doing so online.While going through multiple websites for my topic I found out that the online gambling industry has been growing rapidly.

However if you were talking about offline gambling as well then blackjack will also become a game of skill capable of producing profits, as there are a few strategies you can use to become profitable, even if those strategies are frowned upon by casinos.
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned sports betting so far. I agree with the majority of responses that consider poker to be a game of skill, where luck plays a part in the short term, but skilled players can win money consistently. But in sports betting too.

I agree.
Slots, Dice, Plinko, etc. All those are games of chance. It doesn't require any analysis just so you could win the game. There are only strategies like a martingale but it will cost you a lot of money before you could hit the lucky win.
Poker and Sports Betting are the game of skills. Both these games do require analysis, Poker needs reading possible outcomes, there is a risk but you could lessen it if you know who you are playing against. Almost the same with sports betting, predicting the outcome by using analysis, stats, numbers, wins, losses, players, injuries, and more. A blind bet can win but those who went thru deeper analysis can sometimes have a higher percentage to hitting the win and making profits.

In all other casino games, like roulette or slots, we depend on luck, not by spinning faster or picking a certain number in roulette we are going to be luckier or less lucky.

With any gambling games/activities that we do, luck are always what we want to be on our side regardless if it's a game of chances or a game of skills. Poker and blackjack may have required our skills and game expertise, but if we're not so lucky with the cards in our hands, chances of getting lost are still huge and it'll ruin our confidence and composure when playing poker.
In all casino games, luck is always vital. But unlike most of the casino games, poker and blackjack may give us bigger returns when we play them with skills and strategies to win. So it’s an advantage for us if we have the mastery or expertise in playing the cards and give us more chances to be profitable if we are also skilled on it.
i love black jack but for me i support OP in which poker is much a game of Skills than luck and comparing to blackjack it is really needs great understanding .and also bigger return? I think it is the luck based that gives bigger wins in case of winning the jackpot .

Gambling that also requires skill is sports betting, those who are smart enough have an analysis that will have a chance to get a profit, but sometimes it still doesn't work out as predicted, so all gambling really needs luck.

Of course, a slot game is a game of chance, the same with roulettes, as gamblers will just only watch how those spins will give them a fortunate win.
In poker and any card-based games, luck + skills can be applied in order to win.
Generally, in every gambling, luck is needed but not purely we can depend on it if we talk about card-based games such as those games you have mentioned.

Wow, haha, 😂, from this little/simple, but yet vital information, I think poker must be an really interesting game to play, somebody shared a link with me yesterday, a YouTube video actually, through which I could learn how to poker, I will make out time to thoroughly watch that video..I've never played poker before, so in all honestly, I can't tell if it's a game of chance or skill, but what I do know is that most games that has to do with cards are mostly games of skill, where the gambler's knowledge and skill will be the determinant to whether he or she wins or loses the game..
This is what I think.
It's actually a game of both but to weigh these two, it all ends up with a game of skill. Because if even you're not lucky with your cards and if you're skilled in bluffing, that means that even having weak cards, you can still turn the situation and win against those high cards if they're scared of you bluffing them.This is what I think.
I can't wait to try my hands on some poker games, I just hope the online version be as fun as it is to play it in the physical.

Without even asking, it should be obvious that slots is a luck-based game and poker, although requires luck, can be applied with good skills.
Simply, we can't apply any strategy to increase our chance of winning in slots as everything is random. That's why in that kind of game, always have the ability to limit ourselves during losing and try to take a break when winning big. In luck-based games, bankroll management should always be the priority.
Referring to poker, of course, we also need luck here to somehow always expect to have the best set of cards. However, even with bad cards, a user has a chance to turn the table in favor of them. Overall though, playing poker and related games, a good experience is required.
