Landmark court case begins in London
2007-01-12 16:07:34
The highly-anticipated court case featuring the owner of the Gutshot Member's club has begun, with jurors set to decide on one of the gambling industry's most controversial questions.
The debate over whether poker is a game of chance or skill will be settled, in legal terms at least, by the jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court, as Gutshot owner Derek Kelly seeks to contest the potential for prosecution under the 1968 Gambling Act.
Mr Kelly held games of poker without a license, but argues that as the card game is based on skill it does not fall under the Act's jurisdiction.
Prosecutors suggested that the jury would be in for a crash-course in poker tutelage while the trial took place.
"I anticipate during the course of this trial you will have, as it were, a free short tuition in what poker is all about, what poker involves, how it works and so on and so forth," said lawyer Graham Trembath, speaking to the jury, reports the Times newspaper.
