Happy to see that this post is generating some blow back since integrating an element of skill into casino based games that previously had no skill component at all, i.e.slot machines, is a reality. See this recent article . . .[url]http://tinyurl.com/oqwkf7u[/url]

There has always been an element of skill, very small in some cases, in casino table games. At the very least, money-management is a learned skill that can help a gambler turn a profit on a slightly more than regular basis. Blackjack can involve skill and savvy more than most games but, money management aside, roulette and baccarat, are pretty much a coin toss. Yes, systems come and go and some work for a while but the casino ekes out it's vig in the end.

I agree that poker can turn a decent gambler a profit more times than not, especially cash games that are less subject to the huge variances found in tournament play. And, aside from the all-to-common-nowadays "re-buy" option, which in my opinion turns poker tournaments into fiascos for pros to take advantage of, good tournament skills can be learned.

Any game that finds a place on a casino floor will have to turn a profit for the company or out it goes. And, keep in mind that the casino needs to win, even if it's only a small percentage, ALL the time. They win when you lose, of course, and they win when you win too!
