Against my instincts and logic I decided to trust and use the FREE [edited] Slot Machine v1.4 TRANSFER/COPY Non-Comission. (Yes I know...STUPID)
These machines are available on SLexchange and I have seen billboards in ad areas offering these free slot machines.
I decided last night to set a few in a small kiosk on one of my empty plots about 10pm EST. This morning I checked my transactions and two people played the slots in the night.
One of those persons [edited]..yes I know nice name.. showed up about 2-3 hours after I posted the machines.
They took 7 spins and won $L2430 $L1215 $L729 $L729. They were there less than 7 mins and walked away with a net of $L5065 of my money. My accoutn was probably empty at this point.
I have discovered today that the creator of the slots [edited] profile has been deleted and [edited] was a member in her scripting group. (probably an alt)
So I was obviously scammed.
I am writing this to warn everyone about these machines.
I will be filing a report on the situation.

No matter how valid your complaint, do not name residents in your message.
Hope there is a way for you to recover your money but I doubt it. :/

First off, the forum TOS says no naming names so your post will either be edited or deleted.
Second off, I won the money honest fair and square, I don't see why people have to bitch just because I beat the odds for once. If you check the group you will see there are honest game creators in that group, people such as "Games Prototype" is in it (the owner of VGI Games).
Anyways stop trying to ruin my name just because I won on some of your games, if you're going to run a casino and host gambling games then you should realize that you are also gambling with your money. Every once and awhile people do win and the money does go back to the players!
