”LAN party tax” hits Swedish gamers

Jettono Wrote:From what I understood of the last part of the article, normal people can still have LAN parties for free (unless I read it/interpreted it wrong), but this is still pineappleing ridiculous. No gambling is (explicitly) involved, so why are they saying that they're basically the same thing as slot machines?

How is paying a fee to enter a tournament for a chance to win money not gambling?

Granted, slot machines aren't the best example, but what's the difference between that, and say, a poker tournament?
