Fair question - is D&D or Diablo III a game of skill or chance? Is it legal to bet on it?

It doesn't really matter. It's not like authoritarians in the State make principled, consistent decisions, or have rules that reflect the same. FF fleeces customers but State lotteries? Crickets. The State lottery is in the constitution, so it has a magical protection spell around it. It's mostly about picking winners and losers, jumping on trends, protecting political legacies, shakedowns, etc. If D&D came under the same scrutiny, I'm sure they'd try to ban betting on it.
