[QUOTE="tripletopper, post: 276171, member: 7415"] Heck, since this company makes money off gambling, and anything that has either NO luck factor, or a STANDARDIZED luck factor can be defined as legal skil-based wagering, which doesn't need a state license, except to prove your game is legal as a skill game, (STANDARD randomization is for example on your first hand of a skill version Texas Hold Em, you and every opponent you play against starts with a J 7 suited in the same suit, and computerized opponents, who react to the same assuming you do one particular action, would have Q 2 unsuited (unbeknownst to you) in that exact same hand, so every one is in the same situation, it just depends on how you play what you're given.) so anything random may be different from playthrough to playthrough, but for example if you get 50K on the first spin of the mystery wheel, then everyone connected on the same game gets 50K on the first spin of the mystery wheel. Or if it advances one slot for each bumper and slingshot hit, then it depends on how you play, but the wheel starts at the same point at the beginning of the ball. All you have to do is either remove random elements or both standardize them and at the start sync them, then you can legally gamble on your skills at Pinball tables, and the comapny can make a portion of the money by taking a cut from each player. Also, you don't have to have have people pay money to make money. Gambling is a more fertile ground for free advergaming, let that be the basis of paying your entry fee into skill tournaments, pay a token free amount fo prizes, and the rest goes to the companies. it can be both the physical and virtual versions.
