You mean "material degree." Yeah, I'm sure you're right. It would be hard to prove, but I see it all the time when I watch. The ball takes some funny bounces and many times the outcome of the game rests on it, i.e. "It's a game of inches." That seems "material" to me.

Here's an interesting law I found in Washington state, defining "material degree" of skill; not sure about applying it to chance:

[B][SIZE=2]Material degree of skill required in amusement  games.[/SIZE][/B]

[I]  Amusement game  operators must conduct games in which the outcome depends to a material degree  on the skill of the player. We consider a "material degree of skill" to be  present when both of these requirements are met:

(1) The player's  physical or mental abilities play an important and integral role in determining  the outcome of the game; and

(2) The success rate of the average  player would improve with repeated play or practice.

Sounds like poker to me.
