Common devices used include <a href="/wiki/Dice" title="Dice">dice</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spinning_top" title="Spinning top" class="mw-redirect">spinning tops</a>, <a href="/wiki/Playing_card" title="Playing card">playing cards</a>, <a href="/wiki/Roulette" title="Roulette">roulette</a> wheels or numbered balls drawn from a container.</p>
<p>Any game of chance that involves anything of monetary value is <a href="/wiki/Gambling" title="Gambling">gambling</a>.</p>
<p>Gambling is known in nearly all human societies, even though many have passed laws restricting it. Early people used the <a href="/wiki/Knucklebones" title="Knucklebones">knucklebones</a> of <a href="/wiki/Sheep" title="Sheep">sheep</a> as dice. Some people develop a <a href="/wiki/Ludomania" title="Ludomania" class="mw-redirect">psychological addiction</a> to gambling, and will risk even food and shelter to continue.</p>
<p>Some games of chance may also involve a certain degree of <a href="/wiki/Game_of_skill" title="Game of skill">skill</a>. This is especially true where the player or players have decisions to make based upon previous or incomplete knowledge, such as <a href="/wiki/Poker" title="Poker">poker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Blackjack" title="Blackjack">blackjack</a>. In other games like roulette and <a href="/wiki/Baccarat" title="Baccarat">baccarat</a> the player may only choose the amount of bet and the thing he/she wants to bet on, the rest is up to chance, therefore these games are still considered games of chance with small amount of skills required.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> The distinction between 'chance' and 'skill' is relevant as in some countries chance games are illegal or at least regulated, where skill games are not.</p>
