This is a new trend starting in gaming industry. Apple has now started approving skill-based "gambling" games. One such example is Dollar Candy created by Ian Ippolito (who also created PlanetSourceCode.com and rentacoder.com). These games are addictive, you play against real human and there is money on the line in each game. Gambling had been banned for a reason for long time in many cultures - it's all too common for poorest people to blow up their earnings in the hope of a jackpot. They do so not because they are less smart but because they are too desperate and don't have any other opportunity to making it through. Now game creators have found a loop hole in the law aka "skill-based" games. I can see lot of people barely making ends burning their kids school money in these stuff while standing in grocery lines.
