    American-Hungarian Physicist May Be Key To Answering 150-yr-old Question Of What Exactly Is A Game Of Skill

    Public Gambling Act: A system devised by an American-Hungarian physicist may offer a solution to the contentious question that has been the subject of furious legal battles on how to distinguish games of skill vs chance.

    In a just released report, a Delhi-based policy think tank Evam Law and policy has come up with a mechanism of skill rating based on the ELO system for chess developed by Arpad Elo, the American-Hungarian physicist.

    Since the Public Gambling Act granted exemption to games of skill in 1867, numerous legal battles have been fought in India over what defines a game of skill. In 1957, the Supreme court ruled that crossword is a game of skill. With online games gaining popularity in the last few years, it has become a subject of pitched legal fights. Some states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala brought in legislation to prohibit online skill games for money, but they were struck down by their state high courts.
