Games

The number of existing games is huge and so is the number of games classification systems. You actually can classificate games any way you want, even according to how much money do you want to spend. Or games would rather be divided according to how much money do you want to earn. (Why not?). But there is a  a generally accepted classification of gambling games. You can check it bellow:
