I mean technically the games that give you the best chance to win big or card games. Games that take skill, that aren't manipulated by the casino (slots, for example are something we all know are manipulated). If you're good at the table games, then you've got a better chance of winning big versus playing something like a slot machine which is a complete gamble.
Usually, all the casino games are luck-based and I don't find many differences between slot games and card games in terms of luck. People do argue that you have to use your brain in the card games and they are totally different from slot games, but still, you need good cards in order to win the card games and that again comes with good luck.
In my opinion, if you need to have a bit of an edge go for the sports games and there you may have some data to analyze, otherwise it just pure luck to play with.
Your argument is interesting and based on it, gambling is luck. The cards get shuffled, and secretly distributed. I don't think there is a skill that controls the kind of cards we get. The rank of your card, it's known by nobody except you. When good cards are allocated to us, we can take advantage of it. Win huge amount. Build network of friends. Its disadvantage compared to slot games may not be match able. Table games are structured such that the last man wins. The first two play like it's indeed a competition. Hence, they can't stop anytime until the game is over. So, if a good number of people never lost all their funds. The table posses an uninterruptible rule. Though it has the means of doing great things. Due to the moderation in place for card games. Anybody can play slot, but not everyone got the guts of staking funds on Poker game. The limitations in card games, increased the value of table games. Thereby provided valuable amount to the winner. Because of the combined funds. No machine manipulations. I think its what Op is driving at. Slot is risky, but the player can decide to stop at any moment. I'd say that despite accepting your first argument, table games generates perfect incomes. And like I mentioned Poker, they are many other card games. With similar different rules. Some card games depends on skills.
