From: Ceera Murakami Better solution:
Stop trying to reinstate unregulated gambling in SL, and buy yourself a plane tocket to Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, a US Indian Reservation, or any other real-world place that allows legal, regulated casinos, and go lose your money there. (Or win, if you are VERY lucky...) QFT

Ceera, you don't have to be *very* lucky. If you take care to feed each dollar into the beast only once, you on average lose less than a nickel per dollar, and your chances of coming out ahead are better than 25%.
Not many folks gamble this way, though!
But your point is valid: no need to come to SL to gamble. I don't gamble, though I liked the money it brought ingame. But I don't miss it too much either.

never understand the ppl that try and say gambling isn't rigged......of course it is its a business most of these machines you could set to pay any % of takings you felt like I don't know of any slot that runs purely on chance. In real this is regulated in SL is wasn't and yes there were good operators and bad but to suggest gambling is pure chance is ludicrous. Dunno I find that stance hilarious

Ok I am sooo lost......why does a Law need to tell someone how to ..or how not to spend their Money... is this a Church Movenment or the Morality Police again? I don't Gamble.. Cause I am probably the Most Unlucky Gambler in the World....Hmmm Guess that might make me Lucky ha ha ha Like I don't drink... because it makes me sick as a Dog. ha ha ha wooohoooow That does make me Lucky. I FEEL LUCKY !!! But then I have no problem that the next Guy throws his Money into a machine. As for swinging the SL Economics.... Gee look what happened to the SL Economics now that you have Banned Them........ my Business is feeling it.
