Caltech Mathematician Labels Fascination a Skill Game
Dr. Robert P. Dilworth of Caltech testified in Superior Court that Fascination is a game of skill not chance. He described experiments where seasoned players won 55 of 75 games against novices, and noted that blocking view of holes neutralized skill, making outcomes similar for both groups. The hearing concerns a writ of mandate to force a license for Fascination Inc. to operate at Pine Ave amusement zone. City officials contend the game is one of chance and opposed licensing.
