The manager of a London poker club has been convicted of violating British gaming laws after a jury rejected his argument that poker is a game of skill, rather than chance. However, a prison sentence is unlikely, the judge said.
Here is Mark Twain’s earlier take on the subject.

Just an observation that the Prosecutor did say that it involved both chance and skill.
Better put all the footballers in prison. They start the games with a (gasp) coin toss!
I don’t remember the exact dialog, but in the beginning of My Little Chickadee someone mentioned poker as a game of chance to W. C. Fields, and he said, under his breath “not the way I play it.”
