Over seven in ten adults in the United States who were aware of skill-based real money gaming (RMG) also thought such games were fair. About 77 percent of respondents between the ages of 18 and 34 years who had heard of real money skill games, also known as cash games, felt that RMG was fair. Some U.S. states make a distinction between gambling on a game of chance and gambling on a game of skill. Popular online games of skill are card games (including poker), chess, rummy, or dominoes.
