Does anyone know of any cases in the NH courts that shed any light on how this definition is applied? Even personal anecdotes about run-ins with the law are welcome. The trouble is, I've been wondering (and Googling, and searching these forums) for years to find relevant case law, and I've come up empty. By the standards of a reasonable person who knows what he's talking about, poker doesn't qualify as gambling by this definition (and arguably neither does blackjack or any other game in which players can make even one decision that affects the outcome of a bet). As most New Hampshire poker players are probably aware, the definition of 'gambling'/'game of chance' in NH law rests on the 'not under the player's control or influence' premise.
