New Online Casino Study Furthers Debate

From land to online casinos poker gambling, nations are increasingly being forced to answer the tough question: is poker primarily a game of skill or luck? Courts in the United States have ruled that the game, while influenced by skill is still primarily a game of luck because players have no control over the cards they are dealt. Courts in other countries have come to similar conclusions on the skill or luck debate, while players all over the world assert that the game is largely skill based while there is an element of luck. A recent study by a doctoral student at Case Western Reserve University concludes that skill is more prominent than luck in land and online casinos poker gambling.

The Case Western student, Michael DeDonno, conducted the same study twice to confirm what the first study concluded, that students given land and online casinos poker strategy tips and charts fared statistically significantly better than students who played the game with only luck on their side. DeDonno then repeated the study with two different test groups and concluded the same results.

The Science Daily online based magazine published an article recently that highlighted DeDonno’s findings. DeDonno remarks, “This article provides empirical evidence that it is skill and not luck.” The skill versus luck debate has the potential to really cause some changes all over the world if there is ever an international consensus in the debate (not very likely). The poker players’ advocacy group, the Poker Players Alliance, is pushing the debate that internet casino poker is a skill game as a way to have the activity bypass current restrictions on the nation’s internet gambling industry.
