Summary An analysis is given of the character of games of chance and games of skill. It is shown that every game is influenced by stochastic effects. Whether a game should be classified as a game of pure skill or as a game of chance depends on the rules of the game, on the evaluation of the outcomes of the game and on the possibilities the player has by applying his skill to cope with the random effects of the particular game situations.
