What is the situation with having a casino on SL - I have a resident who wants to sell me a roullette table, Blackjack Table and slot machines.
I wanted to check first about the law with casinos in SL
Some ppl have said they have seen casinos in SL - is it allowed and if so are there certain games allowed ?

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Don't buy gambling games, and instead report the seller, please. Or don't report..either way, don't buy it and/or use it, because then YOU could get in trouble, and that's no fun.

Simple way to look at it: Absolutely no gambling allowed period.

More complex way: OK, well a few situations, but you have to subsection C or article 14b of...blahblahblah....

My understanding is that you can have these games, as long as no money changes hands. At Carnivale Royale, we've had blackjack and roulette for points (which can't be exchanged for anything) and those have been fine.

As long as it doesn't have any gambling, I should think it's OK to have a mothballed casino for people to go and look at.
