Danish Court Rules Poker a Game of Skill

A Danish court ruled at the end of last week that poker can be won or lost based on the amount of skill a player possesses and not on how lucky they are. Said the judge, “You can win in poker based on being clever enough to hide your strategy, even though you might have a fairly poor hand.”

This ruling seems to supports Congressman Robert Wexler’s “The Skill Game Protection Act” (HR) 2610 bill, which seeks a carve out for online poker as a game of skill.

We shall see if this ruling makes its way to the USA.
