I know the Icedragon's Playpen Island (66, 204, 27).

Do you know any similar place for playing Tringo?

I tried the serach a couple of times but all I got was a headache :confused:

Thanks in advance.

I never thought I'd see the day when folks would actually have *difficulty* finding Tringo places ;)

Seriously though - try the in-world search again, but try sorting it based on traffic, and try checking out the highest traffic places first... you might have the best luck that way.

Just keep in mind that Tringo paying out L$ falls under the gambling ban and is not allowed anymore. There may be some games left which don't pay out L$, though.

100% not true. Tringo was declared to be a skill game a long time ago. I think Tringo was the first one that LL said was ok. Since then, they've approved quite a few of the popular SL games.

I know your position on this from the blog ... as I understand, there is no final ruling to that.

Do you have any substantive evidence that LL declared Tringo to be OK?

That came from a Linden, but I don't remember which one. I think the name might be mentioned somewhere in the sticky about gambling devices, but I'm too lazy to look for it tonight.

Sounds like a good one to ask at the recently announced Governance Team office hours.

Devilfish Mall run tringo events each day - cool team who run the games, a friendly bunch, the amount in the pots vary....

When the landowner is online they're much bigger ;-)

Although the mall is marketed towards (gay) men, everybody is welcome, furries, trans, women, robots - whoeverm as long as you don't greif....We just want everyone to have a top time at the mall. There's other activities around too, fishing, skydive, jetski, treasure hunt etc..

Here's the SLurl to the mall...Tringo is on a platform above the mall. The Devilfish group announce the games when they happen, so it's worth joining that.

Tringo is a skill game, the skill of the players defines the outcome of the game. The pot isn't needed, it just makes it interesting..

Why?
Tringo is skilled and is very much allowed. Pay out or not.

Allowed Games:

Bingtris
Blingo
Tringo
Shrooms
Letterz

and I am not sure what else, but anything considered skilled is allowed.
