	Game of chance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A game of chance is a game whose outcome is strongly influenced by some randomizing device, and upon which contestants frequently wager money.
		Some games of chance may also involve a certain degree of skill.
		The distinction between 'chance' and 'skill' is relevant as in some countries chance games are illegal or at least regulated, where skill games are not.

	A Mayan Game of Chance
		Games of chance were quite popular in a number of Mesoamerican cultures; the Aztecs' addiction to the game of Patolli is well known.
		Each player has 5 game pieces; these could be any readily available item: seeds, sticks, bits of cloth, etc. I've represented the pieces as warriors because the language the Maya used while playing Bul seems to have been a metaphor for warfare: game pieces were described as being taken captive or killed.
		When a game piece reaches the opposite end of the board, it is re-entered at the end it where it started, as if the board were circular.

		The story behind the game is that your love interest, Daisy, has been dog napped, and it’s up to you to find her and to unravel the schemes of the nefarious Miss Peaches.
		The humans in the game look very good at a distance, but once you get an up close look at their faces and facial expressions, a little, not much mind you, is lost.
		Dog’s Life is probably a game most people will overlook and pass over without a thought, but they do so at their own risk.

		Suzuki doesn't like them much, either, which may ruin any chance he has of hitting.400, for his greatest strength in pursuit of the magical number might be his inherent weakness.
		Those hitters averaged 550 official at-bats, either because they walked frequently (11% of their plate appearances), were hurt part of the season or played in the era of 154 games.
		But Suzuki is durable — he's missed only 14 games in four-plus seasons — and has a strike zone that runs from the tip of his nose to the top of his feet.

		On the other hand, an episode of South Park that aired eight days after the election managed to include a subplot in which a disputed kindergarten election hinged on the votes of "the absent kid" and a girl named Flora who couldn't make up her mind.
		Flora was depicted as not terribly bright, which seems a fair characterization of the Floridians who blew their chance to vote in the presidential election by punching either more or less than one choice.
		But there is a strong case for adhering to the rules established before the game was played, even when they conflict with ad hoc judgments about fairness.

	Washingtonpost.com: Sadly, It's a Game of Chance
		Monday, October 26, 1998; Page C1 PASADENA, Calif. – The game was maybe 15 seconds old when Jaime Moreno found himself 12 yards from the goal, totally unobstructed, with a chance to give D.C. United the lead in the championship game of a sport in which a one-goal lead is often insurmountable.
		Three minutes in, when the game was still scoreless, D.C.'s Etcheverry, the league's MVP, was making a move with the ball inside the penalty box when he was tripped by Chicago's Chris Armas.
		It's bad when your championship game – an entertaining game full of scoring chances, great defense and spectacular goaltending (by Thornton) is marred by zebra gaffes.

		“It’s just like horse races, a ‘juva’ (a game of chance) which all have to play,” said Mr Thackeray responding to a question on the outcome of the polls, in an impromptu press conference at the MIG club after casting his ballot.
		Mr Nirupam is seen as a strong challenger to the four-time sitting MP, Mr Dutt, in view of the effort he had put in his early preparations, the organisational support of the Sena and the rapport he has built with the north Indian population.
