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?

Slots
Balckjack
Baccarat
Poker

I think Slots is a game of chance and Poker is a game of skills. Do you agree?

I would say that all of the casino games are games of chance and none falls in the game of skill. Yeah Poker is a bit tricky and people think if you have the skill you are better at playing poker, which is not correct in my point of view.
Usually, poker is not an easy game for someone who never played it first. People will first learn about poker and think that it is a skill based game.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

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.

Every online and offline casino game requires skill and chance which some people consider luck.
1. If any gambler doesn't understand the rules of the game and how to make the best use of every chance she gets the person has already loose the game before it even started.
2. No matter what a good gambler is in the game she needs a little luck on her side to successfully thrive in the game.

Yup, I agree.
Don't forget that dice is also a game of chance or luck and still, many do like to play on this game because it's very fun to play so.

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.

Slots is a game of chance or luck, you don't know what will be the next spin on the reel. And everything is based on RTP, and with that, most likely gamblers are going to lose their money on it. But the twist is that it's more fun to play with this slot machine games.

For Poker, yeah, there are professional pokers around the world, and this is more on the game of skill, you learn how to play with your cards, bluff your opponents or even read your opponents and guess what will be their card and so you will form your own strategy against them.

Well, we can’t deny that these games listed above certainly need luck so you can beat your opponents. However, with poker and blackjack, though these games require luck and chances, but they can be beaten more if you focus on your skill and develop your strategy to win. Unlike most of the casino games, blackjack and poker are more on skill and strategy, and you can maximize your returns or gains if you play them skillfully.

When it comes to any card games which do involves on how you should really be handing well of your card or simply with your hands then it would really be considered to be strategic which is something that you would be needing to be that skillful or does have strategy against other players which we know that there are even poker players who do make a living out of this gambling game which does proves out that
if you are really that good at it then you could really sustain but we cant really deny the fact that luck do still play a great part out of these games considering that we are really indeed
dealing with gambling which we know that we do really mainly needed up these things.

Slot games are a game of chance, otherwise know as game of luck, which means, the gambler is total dependent on luck to win or lose in the game..

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.

Yes, and because of the pandemic, crypto and online gambling balloon to a massive proportions, we have seen a lot of casinos being born around that time and still up to this day, they have their signature campaigns here and becoming bigger than ever. All of them are even competing to get personalities as their brand ambassador and athletes as well and for sure it will still increase in the next 5-10 years. Casinos are going to popup in this niche and there will be competitions.

Slots could be one of the top most played games because you don't need skills and it's easy to learn, you just have to put your money in any slots of your choosing, it has hundreds of themes that a normal gambler can choose, enjoy, easy as that.

Blackjack and Baccarat, for those who love card games obviously, they can either go bet live with dealer or just simply video blackjack.

Poker, we are all familiar with it, it's a skill game no matter what angle you look at it.

I agree with what you mentioned, OP.

A game of chance involves a series of games where you would rely on absolute luck- no skill involved just pure luck. An example of a game that fits in this category is slots due to its nature where you pull a level and hope for the best; whereby a game of skill relies on a series of techniques in order to at least gain a small advantage depending on your decisions. An example of this are poker, blackjack, and other card games where it involves you deciding.

If there is another game that involves a game of skills, I would say is sports-betting. It is more of a game of skill due to the technicalities and considerations that a person would think before choosing a team on which to bet on.

I think I will have to disagree with the second stats as I feel and know every gambling is under the basis of how lucky you are because even after gathering enough stats in order to place a bet you will still have to be lucky for the actual stats to have a positive outcome so I feel bought are a game of chance. I don't believe any gamblers have skills he or she is using to execute a special winning by him, its just one big whole circle of luck. There is every chance and possibility that you can loose or win a bet on slots and poker.

That's true for Poker and I think the least luck is involved when you play at live tournaments and are mentally very strong so you don't go tilt. When you play online it is tougher in my opinion as people can have a bot running and you just don't know it. There are many softwares that have become popular. Years ago there were newbies around and if you could identify them, you could actually also benefit from it. That potential has declined significantly over the years.

Beside Poker here every other game is a game of chance and yes I know about Blackjack that you remember and count the cards but that in online casinos have been eliminated as they play with a big number of card decks and not like traditional Blackjack we are used to when we play in a physical casino,so this makes also Blackjack a game of chance.Slot machines are the devil in person,exactly the devil in person,they deceive you in the worse possible way and you end up losing a huge amount of money if you are not careful there,I am talking from personal experience,every time I am winning with a minimal bet the moment I raise it,it is game over really fast.Baccarat don't know as I have never played it.

Slots and Baccarat are games of luck/chance, you don't really need a skill in order to win. as for blackjack and poker, though you still need luck playing these games, the game heavily relies on your decisions, strategy, and knowledge of the game if you want the round to end in your favor.

Right. Slots and baccarat are purely a game of chance and luck. They provide the best odds in the casino that makes them very exciting to play. And to think that they are games of chances, there’s no need to use any strategy or skill to win. However, for blackjack and poker, these are the games that are more skilled based, but still luck is also needed. But if you are a player with high knowledge and skills, you will eventually make an advantage from these games as best players always end up making the best profits in the casino.

I think all of them are games of chance, basically random with the exception of Blackjack and Poker which can have a component of skill which my depend on the player to read the physical cues of their foes, in order to take advantage of it.

I believe that is one of the reasons there are people who rather to play live Poker or blackjack, instead their virtual/electronic equivalents.
The live poker tournaments can be more entertaining, in my humble opinion.

It's obvious and doesn't need much discussion - which games have people been able to master over entire lifetimes and turn a profit? It's basically only poker on that list, which still includes an element of chance but it can be overruled in the long run by skilled players. A truly skilled poker player can read others around them, subtly price up bets to determine value, bluff their hands if positioned perfectly and generally take many profitable steps. However blackjack (not including card counting which will get you ejected) will always favor the house in the long run, as the dealer will have a fixed play up to 16 or 17. Slots are a farce and nothing other than flashing lights, noises and graphics trying to visually impress.

I don't agree with you. It happens that even a professional poker player gets bad cards several times in a row, which leads to the loss of money. I think differently - luck plays an important role in any game of chance and it should not be forgotten. Professionalism is good, but when you also have luck with you, it's an explosive mix.

Not really. A good player will fold instantly after getting cards that don't promise anything and the only thing they use is the blind which often is just a few dollars.
You can keep folding for a long time and then win once and reset everything. This is something you can't do playing dice, unless you martingale.
I agree with OP that poker is a game of skill but most games only depend on your luck.

For now, Slots is a game that is more popular than the games on your list. because, slots do not require skill to play them. As for Blackjack, at least this game isn't like you're playing slots. you also need experience, it can also involve technique even though it doesn't require extra skills like playing poker.
Well, Baccarat is the game that I like the most, this game is easy, simple, but requires a very high level of patience. at least, in a game of Baccarat, one has to be more careful. because of this game, it will often involve you being a little disturbed emotionally.

Speaking of poker, in my experience, the only casino gambling that really requires skill is poker. besides that, playing poker also trains high patience. In essence, the game is more complex than the types of games in your list of threads.
however, gambling that has continued to exist until now is sports betting. Sports betting also requires skills, knowledge, and experience. So, it's not just poker that requires skill. but, of all the gambling that we discuss in this thread. only slot games that are really easy to play, practical, and offer rewards that are no less unique than other types of gambling games.

Blackjack is a game of skill, with a bit of luck mixed into it, as with most of the games you play in the casino really. On the other hand, Dice games are exclusively based upon chance and are not (at least I hope) determined by any parameter or rule that is set upon by the casino or the players. Frankly enough you could look at every casino and you'd find that most card games are based upon chance, with blackjack and poker being exclusively based on skills, and even those two still have some element of luck that put into play, that could oftentimes determine the outcome of your game.

This question has been answered on this forum.

Slot: think about it, what could be the ability... nothing, the ability in this case is not intrinsic to the game, but to the player, e.g. in his good management of the bets, his budget to gambling etc.

The rest, BJ, Baccarat may require numerical skills, but if you have them, you probably don't play BJ, lol, but obviously they do require experience and skill.

Poker, to summarize it, some experts say that it is 80% skill, 20% Lucky, although it is inappropriate to give an exact percentage, but without a doubt, the Poker it is in which in the long term you can get good income, that largely this happens to the player's skills.

Exactly. Slots literally just require you to crank a lever and hope for the best the rest of these games at least involve some human cognitive aspect to win.
