The element in poker that tends to be missing in chess is the side bet on the outcome of a game and the various ways the probabilities of winning/losing are calculated (with respect to winning the bet, not game outcome itself).
Ideally, if chess was 'solved' like checkers reportedly has been, then the superior chess engine would win the match and betting on the outcome would be a meaningless activity.
Poker remains interesting because the ability to guess the opponent's position hasn't been 'solved' by AI algorithms. If a poker player's position could be read by AI interpretation of facial expressions, body language, etc. I imagine casinos would be all over this.
The real Turing Test question is, can AI simulate players in D&D games well enough to fool human participants?
