Abstract

Gaming and gambling are beginning to converge, as illustrated by the emergence of computer games where players are paid to kill other players or survive as long as possible. Professor Mark Griffiths of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, comments that as more gambling operators start to utilise gaming technology, the Gambling Commission may be forced to re-examine the exemption of such 'skill-based' games from Great Britain's Gambling Act 2005.
