Introduction to Skill Gaming
A game of skill is any contest or competition where the outcome is determined by a participant’s judgment, dexterity, knowledge, memory, or physical ability—rather than by chance.
​
This distinction between skill-based contests and games of chance is not just philosophical; it carries significant legal implications for operators. Because courts may interpret this distinction differently from one jurisdiction to another, it’s essential to understand how skill-based activities are defined in your specific market.

Dominant Factor Test in Action
Under the Dominant Factor Test, the key question is: Is skill more influential than chance in determining the winner?
​
Games where dice rolls, random number generators, or unpredictable outcomes play only a minor role are more likely to be considered legal skill-based contests.
​
In Texas, this standard has led to the acceptance of certain skill-based activities, including fantasy sports, which have been classified as games of skill rather than chance. So, if you’re a fan of these interactive, strategic experiences, Texas is a game-friendly state for you!
