A contract between two or more persons by which they agree to play by certain rules at cards ,
dice ,
or other contrivance ,
and that one shall be the loser ,
and the other the winner .
When considered in itself ,
and without regard to the end proposed by the player '
s ,
there is nothing in it contrary to natural equity ,
and the contract will be considered as a reciprocal gift ,
which the parties make of the thing played for ,
under certain .
conditions .
2 .
There are some games which depend altogether upon skill ,
others ,
upon chance ,
and some others are of a mixed nature .
Billiards is an example of the first ;
lottery of the second ;
and backgammon of the last .
3 .
In general ,
at common law all games are lawful ,
unless some fraud has been practiced ,
or such games are contrary to public policy .
Each of the parties to the contract must ,
1 .
Have a right to the money or thing played for .
2 .
He must have given his full and free consent ,
and not been entrapped by fraud .
3 .
There must be equality in the play .
4 .
The play must be conducted fairly .
But even when all these rules have been observed ,
the courts will not countenance gaming by giving too easy a remedy for the recovery of money won at play .

But when fraud has been practiced ,
as in all other cases ,
the contract is void and in some cases ,
when the party has been guilty of cheating ,
by playing with false dice ,
cards and the like ,
he may be indicted at common law ,
and fined and imprisoned ,
according to the heinousness of the offence .

and prohibiting the recovery of money lost at such games .
