A slight change in Domino Game Options

Below is updated section from domino rules:
---------
Options and Defaults
Who starts the 1st hand and how? - By default, the highest double in the first hand is forced - whoever was dealt the highest double must start the 1st hand with it (in the rare instance that nobody had any doubles, the highest bone starts).[br]
A domino table can also be created with an option of
Random start (when 'no 1st hand forced double' default option is unchecked). In this case, the server determines randomly which play
er will start. If this option is in force, then the player is free to chose what bon
e to start with. Who starts the new hand? Winner of the previous hand?- By default, the winner of the hand starts the new hand. A domino table can also be created with a non-default option 'rotated start'. With 'rotated start' non-default option, the starter of the next hand (also called 'first down') alternates every hand.
- With the default options (winner starts and 1st hand forced double), if the game is blocked (in Five-Up & Draw games), then the player with the highesr double will start the next hand.
In the table listings, the options are shown in short notation as in the following examples:- 100pt/5+ denotes the table set for 100 pt for Five-up (5) with a spinner (+)
- 125pt/5* denotes the table set for 125 pt for Five-up (5) without a spinner (no +) with no forced double (*)
- 125pt/5+O denotes the table set for 125 pt for Five-up (5) with a spinner (+) with rotated start (O)
- 200pt/Drw denotes the table set for 200 pt for Draw variation (Drw) without a spinner (no +)
- 100pt/Blk denotes the table set for 100 pt for Block variation (Blk) without a spinner (no +)

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.
