Examples of the chance classification for some well-known tabletop games are given in the table below. The following is an example of state statute (New York) defining the term. Pursuant to NY CLS Gen Mun § 186 (3), “Games of chance shall mean and include only the games known as 'merchandise wheels', 'coin boards', 'merchandise boards', 'seal cards', 'raffles', and 'bell jars' and such other specific games as may be authorized by the board, in which prizes are awarded on the basis of a designated winning number or numbers, color or colors, symbol or symbols determined by chance, but not. Board games are defined as games that use a board as a central component, along with counters or game pieces. While some are purely games of chance, others rely on a great deal of strategy to determine the victor. Games with boards have been played in most cultures, and the earliest known example dates back to Egypt in 3500 B.C.
