Luck versus Skill
|
|
Back in the 1980's I believe a major tounament promoter was tried in
Oregon, USA for violating state gambling law by conducting a Backgammon
Tournament. The outcome of the trial found that Backgammon Tournaments
were not gamhling because it was proved that skill was a element to the
game.
I believe the case was Barr vs. The State of Oregon.
