Yes. I have to agree with your opinion on this, I have played both of these games and the longest is Poker. But to be honest, I am more knowledgeable about the game of Poker and it really helps train my memory in playing.

Slots rely more on luck because there are no patterns and strategies to play this game as far as I know, while Poker requires intelligence and skill to play it, if you don't master it you can be sure you will lose to other people, even though there are times when we get bad luck from the game Poker, even though the cards we hold are good, bad luck can happen.

A very common term that we know from the game Poker, Full House, Royal Flush, Four of a Kind, Straight, Straight Flush, Flush, Three of a Kind, One Pair, Two Pair and High Card. For poker players, this term is quite familiar, which we know from the arrangement of cards in playing poker.

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.

All above games are game of chance (luck needed) but few of them required skills in order to play it better.
Poker is the game that required skills although we can play without skills at all but it is not recommended ofc.
Poker without skills mostly happen in free tournament where some people do all in all the time, I've seen it many times when I was actively participating in free poker tournament.
Blackjack also required skills to read the card and to decide what to do with our hand.

Each game is closely related to two, namely luck and skill. But there are some games that require a greater percentage of skill and only require a smaller percentage of luck in them. Vice versa.
These two factors can never be separated.
Regarding slot games, I think slots are games that require luck and are different from poker which require greater skill in playing so I will say yes to your question.

How much time and money have you spent playing these two games and how do you feel friend?
If in one week you are active almost every day playing, then you will find a more accurate answer.

Slots as for me is a game with pure chances while poker and blackjack are strategic games where we could apply skills but there's no guarantee that if we apply skills, we'll always win over the house.
Luck still exists in all forms of gambling, especially in online casinos.
Having skills will be somehow an advantage but isn't reliable all the time. Our fate mostly still relies on luck.

Lucky existing in all games makes all in the list a game of chance. Like the lottery, slot is also like a game of luck. Even if users already know these, it didn't stop them from playing it. Anyway, if the game needs the player to know something about rules and which card beats the other means it really needs skills to beat the house.

OP only asks a question but has to insert different links in his post. This is quite odd.

No, the four gambling games, I do not admit the game is a game of skill, after I read your topic I remember the sources I've read about: CAN YOU WIN: GAMES OF SKILL

Quote

The history of gaming cannot be traced back to an exact period in time, but it is known that it has been around since the beginning of civilization. Games of skill require more than just a push of a button or the roll of a dice. The three games that fall under the Games of Skill category are Draw Poker, Blackjack and Pai Gow. However, there are a few games that are placed within the games of skill category. Texas hold'em, Craps and Roulette are games that often are categorized incorrectly. Most players think that these games require skill and in some aspects they do, however, they are not considered games of skill. When gambling, what is the true difference between games of skill and chance? In a game of chance, the house has the advantage, and in the game of skill, the player must know the game thoroughly to have the ability to change the game and gain the advantage. People usually think there are more games of skill than there actually are. For example, Craps, Roulette and Texas hold'em are sometimes mistaken for games of skill. The paper will develop a clear distinction between games of chance and skill; the three major games of skill are Blackjack, Poker, and Pai Gow.

Conclusion: Believe it or not, whatever type of game is on online gambling sites, everything is luck. Game of skill, just undercover.

Yes, slot games are games of chance based on the luck of each player. If the player can get lucky, he can win big or small. But that luck will not always come every time he plays slot games and luck will surely move to other people.

But the game of Poker is a game of skill where we need the knowledge to play Poker properly. Many people learn to play Poker but not many people succeed in mastering the game of Poker.

But whatever the gambling game, we can experience gambling addiction because gambling games can make us come back after winning or losing.

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?

Slots
Balckjack
Baccarat
Poker

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

I agree since if you think, when playing slots you are just simply there waiting for results, no strategy involved, just pure play of luck. Thus, it is indeed a game of chance, where there is no slightest guarantee of win when you analyze it. On the other hand, Poker is a game where you can assess the game and have a bet that is from your experience and skill with the game. Although, we might say that luck also is a part of it, we can still classify it as a game of skill since basically you can apply your skills to it in order for you to win.

Slot is totally a game of luck. As for poker it involves skill before luck because if you don't have the skill and you are playing with someone more skillful in the game than you, definitely he will win you.

Luck comes in when both players are skillful and a slight mistake can be used against you due to his luck and skill. Though in gambling luck is the most important thing because you might be skillful enough but if you are not on your lucky day..sorry you will be a loser.

I also agree with Yogee, Blackjack is a game of skill as you have to think most of the time and choose your moves precisely every round based on the cards you'll get so they require skills but that doesn't mean we can always win through skills alone since the dealer can still change the outcome depending on the cards they get despite picking the best moves possible. Baccarat on the other hand is similar to slots and other games that rely on luck since the dealer will be the one to do everything once the round starts.

Totally agree but luck still plays a factor in poker, even if you're good at poker and hiding your card, your opponent can still make a wild guess and become lucky to hit it, on slot and dice games you can employ some of the popular methods like martingale, you can win on one night but you cannot sustain your winnings with all the strategist employs.

If we can develop an effective method of gambling whether sports or luck-based, casinos cannot sustain their business, let us just accept the fact that casinos are entertainment portals, you will be disappointed if you treat them not.

Games of skills are games where the determinant factor towards the final result will be skills, while at games of luck the determinant factor will be luck, despite the experience of the gambler on those games.

As I see, in every games mentioned (poker, slots, baccarat and blackjack), the determinant factor is luck, without any doubts, so all of them are games of luck.

On the other hand, if you bet with your friend you could beat him on a PVP match at any online video-game we could be talking about a game of skill, since the main factor driving your bet to the victory is your personal skills on that game in particular. If you are good on it, you will win. If you are bad, you will lose. And that can't be changed on long run.

They're both kinds of used in the table/card games, luck gives you the cards you can use to play while skill decides whether or not to continue the play with the cards you got. You can technically wait till you get a good card in poker and play aggressively with that and that would make poker a game purely based on skill, but because of bluffing, where you have a weak hand and still play like a madman, it would involve a certain level of skill (based on decision making that is).

And slots are well, slots. I don't think there's anything to talk about it.

Online gambling is not addicting, and all depends on the personality, at all levels both online and offline one can control oneself. Why people visit more on online casino is because online gambling is easy and fast to enter because of the technology that is involved. You can use a device that is in hand to enter the site right away. While offline casino halls are some times are very far from the gambler and that doesn't mean that the gambler is not addicted. Just the distance that restricted him.
Slots and Baccarat might move together because they all games of luck/chance
Poker is a game of skill but if you don't have luck in a faithful day you won't win that day, so luck goes for all the games.

Poker is a game that requires skill and courage as well as luck. I prefer to play this game because it's fun to be able to play against other people at the gambling table.

Whereas slot games only rely on luck without skill so a beginner can play it anytime, but for the other two games such as baccarat and blackjack I have never played both games, so I'm not sure to judge the two games relying on luck or skill Wink

Poker is only good if you have the skills but it’s a terrible game if you don’t have any good skills to play this game properly. Only few gamblers play poker flawlessly and the rest is just giving money to the better player.

I’d rather play slots that purely rely on luck rather than poker which I don’t have any chance of winning. Atleast on slot I have a chance to hit huge win by just spinning without any effort to think on how to beat other players.

All type of gambling is a game of chance or else it is not gambling anymore. Poker is commonly categorized as game of skills because you can increase your chance of winning to optimum level if you have skills since you are up against other players and not the house but it doesn’t mean that it’s not a game of chance. There’s some point on the poker which you will rely purely on chances of hitting the right card to win so there’s no guarantee that you will win even if you have a skills unless you are playing with bunch of newbies that is scared on you.

I believe Blackjack can be categorized as game of skills too on some table that doesn’t have continuous shuffling deck because card count can increase your chance of winning like the poker scenario.

In conclusion, even if the game is heavily relying on skills to win. We can’t ignore the fact that you still need luck on side to win and this is when chances needs to be on your side.

Just as you have said op, I think poker requires a player skills while the others like Blackjack, slot, Baccarat etcetera are games of luck.
But if you view of all them generally then you could also classify poker as a game of luck also because most times you don't get to know how good your opponent is, and all you have to depend on is your luck. Even the best poker player sometimes still losses a bet.
After all we are dealing with gambling here.

I will answer by saying this that every game comes as a game of chance and skills but those who take the idea to work out their own strategy towards winning make a difference, which is more likely in every occasions whereby a gambler bet and never expected anything coming and eventually he wins while the time he expected it coming he never wins, that is time and chance, skills also matyers because of the method of administration to each bet being made is different as the games are different as well, some games will actually demand that skills of yours you've got before winning.
