On-line games of skill - COMING SOON to TheGamesForum!
The on-line games sector has been identified as
the next step in the evolution of on-line entertainment, and people of
all ages, from all over the world, play in their millions. Within this
sector “casual
skill-based games” rank as one of the most popular pastimes.
What are casual games of skill?
Casual games are familiar, fun pastimes such as:
• Board
games like draughts, backgammon
• Sports games like pool, golf and basketball
• Puzzle games like jigsaws and word games
These are played on-line in a tournament
format,
with each player paying a cash entry fee to play,
and with a cash
or merchandise prize going to
the winner or winners of the tournament. Skill-based games are named thus
because the outcome of each competition is based on the players’ ability
and performance, with any elements of luck removed. This is critical,
in order to be legal and to avoid falling under anti-gambling statutes.
People like to play these games on their computers for a fun challenge. Playing them on-line against someone else adds an extra social, competitive element; and playing for cash prizes between USD$1 and $1,000 upwards makes them even more exciting and rewarding!
