I’m looking for other games that are played with cash like poker but are more skilled based than luck. I figured since poker does have a luck aspect more people will play, but I’m looking for other games as well whether they exist online or not. I heard backgammon was a bit like this.
Edit: Ok, what I meant is that cash is a consistent part of the game rather than win/lose the whole game.
I read the other answers, then I read your "Additional Details" about "rather than win/lose the whole game."
Every time there is money involved, it’s typically "win/lose" the whole game. Every poker hand is a "whole game" in itself. Then another hand is dealt, and it’s a whole new game.
The only difference between that and a game of pool, is usually a game of pool will last a little bit longer. Then again, some pool games can be very short (a couple minutes), and some poker hands can take 10 minutes and sometimes longer.
Here is the main point I’d like to make: When it comes to casino games, poker is the one that takes the MOST skill!
Backgammon is very similar to poker in that it is a luck-based game where the long-term winners are decided by skill. In other words, in both games ANYONE might win one game. In the LONG RUN, however, the skilled player will win more often.
Gin Rummy, Set-Back, and Bridge are other games where skill will prevail in the long run. All of these can be played for money.
