Poker is legal

Five players who had been convicted for gambling on South Caroline have seen their conviction reverted, as the judge who was studying the case considered poker a skill game, which cannot be compared to other games of chance like the roulette. Poker results depend on the abilities and technique of the players and it is not affected by chance.
Poker players from this American state are very happy with this resolution and are delighted with the fact that poker is not considered illegal any more.
