Under Section 15 of the A.P. Gaming Act, 1974, the exclusion for "games of skill only" is treated as synonymous with "games of mere skill" for this purpose. Accordingly, playing rummy with stakes, or the club deriving profit from the activity, does not by itself convert the activity into gaming under the Act.
