Most people would agree that Poker is a skill game, especially poker players. BUT the US legislation (and most prohibitive legislation) consider Poker a form of gambling since skill gaming is based on the "game" not on the players. It's the poker players who are skilled - skill has nothing to do with the game itself.
Games of skill are not affected by the anti-gambling laws in the States by the way. This is why many are based in the US/Canada and are able to freely accept credit card/Paypal transactions.
Games of chance (gambling) must have three elements: consideration (exchange of money handed over specifically for the opportunity to gamble and win a prize), chance (random number generators, spin of roulette wheel, draw of the card, etc.), and prize (anything of $$ alue). Once you start removing these elements from the equation, you start getting closer to skill gaming.
PS: I'm not a lawyer nor am I giving "legal" advice. Consult a lawyer for that.
