    I’d like to see these justices demonstrate the skill involved in opening these loot boxes. What are the hot strats?

      Haven’t read the article, but the argument made in the past for these things has been “The prizes have no value and there is no way to ‘cash out’ therefore it’s not gambling.”

        The argument they gave, cited in the article, is that there’s a skill component to them. By which I’m guessing they mean playing Ultimate Team with the contents of the loot boxes, but it doesn’t get specific. And I still don’t think that would add a skill component to the loot boxes themselves.
