Legal Question in Entertainment Law in North Carolina

This is a rather complicated area of law, and there is not a lot of case law on this in NC. In general, trivia and board games would be considered a game of skill. Poker has been deemed by some courts to be a game of chance, even though of course there is skill involved. But a board game where the winner is determined substantially based on skill should be a game of skill, as should a trivia game, even though there is some degree of luck. Long ago there were cases addressing whether bowling is a game of skill, and it was determined that it is.
