sleight of hand and loaded dice.

There's some minor skill, it's mostly about loss mitigation.

For example, a yahtzee is the most difficult roll, so you might skip it - however, bonus yatzees are a considerable amount of points. On the other hand, you don't want to skip valuable zones like Large Straight

Much like Poker, most of the skill involved is in knowing the odds, and knowing when it's better to keep a die and when to reroll it.

Poker has the added level of complexity once you introduce betting and bluffing, but at the root of things both games are mechanically similar.

mostly recognizing patterns and choosing the right dice to reroll, going for the right thing at the right time.
