George Bush (on the right) representing GameColony in Houston PDA (Professional Dominoes Association) Dominoes Tournament with PDA's Jay King -- April, 2006
From George Bush:
"I am back from the Houston tournament.
I finished in the top 16 again (lost in 4th round). That is my 4th top 16 finish out of 5 tournaments. Only two other players have done that. I am still very frustrated.
I played the number one player in the third round and beat him 2-1 to advance to the fourth round.
Then I lost 1-2 to another player that I've played on gamecolony.
What is frustrating is that I beat him the majority of the time we play on gamecolony so I thought for sure this would be my time to break through.
I was interviewed for the documentary(with my shirt on) and gave gamecolony credit for how I improved my game playing a wide variety of people who play at a high level.
I also had my picture in the Houston Cronicle and even though I wasn't playing in the finals I sat in the first row as it was being filmed for ESPN so I (along with your shirt) should show up quite a bit.
I also gave one of your pens to the offical scoring the match for the players to use after each game to write their score down.
I'm not sure how that will come out on TV but they did use your pen to keep their score for the finals."

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.
