What is the biggest business in SL in terms of money and locations?

Maybe in the past Darwin. My arcade chain at this moment consists of 2 active wells and a coin flip game. Until I get some issues resolved re money bugs thats as big as its getting. :-/

For those curious at its height (ie 3 weeks ago) I had 4 open locations, with games in 2 locations that weren't mine, and one more location just opening without games in it yet. I also had over 20 games in world.

Ah right, well in that case...

Maybe the I-directories, if you could call that a business.

Well there might be a couple more I-Directories than billboards, but they are certainly not raking in the cash, yet - the way that some of your longer established stores Like MJ's and Skee's do.

yup... there are currently 8 I-booth stations at the moment. But Advertising (listing) in the is FREE. SO, we don't make any money off of it other then from what people so kindly donate. However, there is an ad board that displays an advertisement if you want to pay for that space. We are trying to come up with ways to make more money with them... but the way i see it right now, it's just nice to be able to find information for where you are going without having to pay -- and i'd like to keep it that way as long as i can. My gift to the community.

Perhaps with 1.1 vending machines could be added... or something else along the lines. But for now, everything is FREE to get out of it, and there are currently around 40 listings, and keeps getting bigger

Well the biggest business certainly isn't the glorious Atlas Casino (Found at Zoe (190,200)).

Maybe if you had a daily or weekly drawing, the way Candie does, you might find that the events draw a crowd. There is nothing ever going on at the casino on its own, though...I believe the same thing would happen in Las Vegas if they weren't constantly promoting it.
