In one experiment, Pluribus played 10,000 hands of poker against five human players selected randomly from the pool. Pluribus's win rate was estimated to be about 5 big blinds per 100 hands (5 bb/100), which is considered a very strong victory over its elite human opponents (profitable with a p-value of 0.021).

It's primarily a skill game, although luck plays a huge role. In any single given hand, luck is the predominant factor in who will win or lose. However, poker players don't play a single hand. They play hand after hand after hand & and overall, skill dominates.
