  badaboom:

  I thought the same thing mn. Skins is gambling wether its credits or $ and probably wouldnt be allowed in my state. Hope Im wrong..

  Maybe you will have the option of playing for real credits or for FUN credits,that would be the sensible approach by WGT and i expect that to be introduced,Fun credits is not gambling because you cant win or lose thus allowing all states to participate,

  Maybe that can be a loophole for states that can only play for fun,then they would be able to play for pro shop items as an alternative using the fun credit results as a guide

  "Fun Credits" for all country's and states is a GREAT Suggestion Priestess!!!!

  I'd prefer playing that over real credits as well, even though Im in a state that allows playing for $$

  Because I live in Arizona, I'm with badaboom and mnshiner, hoping a Skins format allows us residents of the "No Skill-Based Gaming" states to participate one way or another.

  (factoid:  The population of all the "no skill based gaming states" is 72M, or 23% of the US population.)

  Skins is really just a different scoring method for a competition.

  I'd be pleased with playing for bragging rights only as in today's Blitz format. 

  (Thank you Priestess for your kind consideration of us "backwards" states. LOL  I wish you were in charge of new competitions for WGT.)

  I do as well, but we both know if we want we can give our hard earned cash to the Indians, Native Americans. Just not a fun that when/if you win a jackpot you cant pick up one or 2 quarters of the ground. Just isn't the same, a little piece of paper isnt the same as lugging a bucket of 2 bit pieces around.

  Play bingo was never considered gambling because you got a voucher as a prize and redeemed that for gift items im sure wgt could introduce something similar for your state of resident Andy where you would win a say 5 dollar pro shop gift voucher rather than 500 credits,

  Another out-of-the-box idea from Tess!  You should be in charge most definitely!!

  I have been long in favor of this, and can't understand why you have not allowed it so far. It would make great gifts. and earn you copious amounts of money.

  I'm with you - especially since we were just talking about it!
