Any chance this room could revisit the era when it was fun to play backgammon for tix? There were tables and tables for low tix games going on at all times of the day and night. As of late, a handful of players set tables ranging between $10 and $50 per match. That certainly doesn't encourage the newer players to participate in the ladder. Am I the only BG player who has noticed this?

I've recently returned to GC after a layoff of several months and found that in addition to the high stakes tables there are more players willing to play for 1-3 tix than ever before. Perhaps your post had some effect.

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.
