Since there is no random chance involved in RPS as both contestants are making a choice and their choice directly gives the result, is RPS considered a game of chance by legal definitions? Would wagering on RPS be considered gambling by legal definitions.

Great Q, and in some states in the United States, wagering on anything could technically be against the law. Certainly it happens all the time.
The reason I liked the Q however was that in R,P,S,,, there are obvious "ODDS" and not knowing the stats, I'd enjoy knowing. I Betcha,,,LOL, Paper comes up most often.
My rational is that it covers Rock, and Rock is likely thrown due to the fact that making a fist seems easier than making like a pair of scissors.

I heard about the judge telling the lawyers decide by RPS and in a small town mayor election the two candiates were tied so they decided by RPS, so it must have some legal precidents, but they have a RPS championship tournament somewhere too, don't know if you allowed to gamble at that.

This question struck me as funny because a couple of weeks ago I read that a judge made two lawyers settle a dispute they were having in the court room by playing rock/paper/scissors. I have never heard of that, but then again Ive heard of many questionable "punishments" that judges have handed out to criminals.

under maximum state regulations, in the event that they nonetheless have a rape statute, it demands penetration of the vagina by skill of a penis. each and every thing else is sexual attack or gross sexual misconduct, despite the fact that some states nonetheless define any intercourse that's no longer penis/vagina as some variety of sodomy, despite the fact that it would not in good shape the Biblical definition. So, often that's sexual attack yet no longer rape.

No it isn't, judged by timing and human reactions. And differentiating signs (no that's a rock, not a paper! I win!)
