I'm trying to understand the purpose of offering effectively bingo in a poker room. Courts worldwide are trying to decide whether poker is predominantly a game of skill or luck since many laws depend on that decision but there is clearly NO skill for a game where everyone sticks in a chip, the cards are flipped, you have no choice whatsoever in the "betting" and the best hand wins. In fact there's more skill in bingo - at least there one must be able to use hand/eye coordination to see the ball and dab the proper spot on the card.

To be honest I have no problem with Betfair offering it, but put it with the slot machines where it's understood there is no skill involved. To equate it to poker is an insult to the game.
