    Skill-based, so it’s not considered gambling.

    Same reason arcade games can give out tokens -> prizes.

      Was the same deal with pinball in the US at one point iirc - a bunch of places tried to ban pinball because it was seen as being the same as slot machines, until a professional player got a machine in front of the supreme court and repeatedly called his shots to prove it was a skill game
