Abstract.

There exists a Nash equilibrium (ε-Nash equilibrium) for every n-person stochastic game with a finite (countable) state space and finite action sets for the players if the payoff to each player i is one when the process of states remains in a given set of states G i and is zero otherwise.

Key words: Stochastic game Nash equilibrium gambling theory games of survival.
