Born on this day in 1946, Steven Spielberg became the youngest television director for Universal Studios at the age of 20. He got the job by sneaking into the studios and taking over an empty office, acting like he belonged there. Spielberg has since become the most successful movie director of all time with such hits as “E.T.,” the Indiana Jones series, “Schindler’s List,” and the Jurassic Park series. He won Best Director Academy Awards for “Schindler’s List” and “Saving Private Ryan.”

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
