The non-zero elements of the payoff matrix define two subsystems which are equivalent to an Ising or a three-state Potts model depending on whether the players are constrained to use only the first two or the last three strategies. Due to the equivalence of these models to spin systems, we can use the concepts and methods of statistical physics when studying the phase transitions. We argue that the greater entropy content of the Ising phase plays an important role in its stabilization when the magnitude of the Potts component is equal to or slightly greater than the strength of the Ising component. If the noise is increased in these systems, then the presence of the higher entropy state can cause a kind of social dilemma in which the players\u2019 average income is reduced in the stable Ising phase following a first-order phase transition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e20020115","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]],"date-time":"2018-02-12T10:50:38Z","timestamp":1518432638000},"page":"115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Entropy Affects the Competition of Ordered Phases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Bal\u00e1zs","family":"Kir\u00e1ly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budafoki \u00fat 8, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gy\u00f6rgy","family":"Szab\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technical Physics and Materials Science, Centre for Energy Research, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, P.O.
