| | Game of chance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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 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. |

| | 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. | | | Similar games were played by the classic Maya. | | | 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. |

| | Chance is a proven money-maker for game developers. | | | If a player ever has to make that dreaded mental downshift, "Oh well, this is just game music…", then the composer has lost the game; the music has failed to capture the player's imagination and emotions as it should. | | | Game music will always lose impact if it loses credibility with the player. |

Oh, so screening a goalkeeper isn't "interferring with play." Not only was Razov offsides, but Gutierrez was offsides. | | | "Everybody's asking me how I feel about the ref missing a penalty or the second goal being offsides, but this game was about our chances we didn't convert," United veteran John Harkes said. |
