Sploders were nice but I don't miss the laggy casinos. So the answer is no. With gambling gone games of skill will become more popular, for example car races and other types of sports. I see sploders being replaced by trivia machines. That's a good thing. IMHO to be rewarded for skill or knowledge is much more enjoyable anyway than winning by chance.

From Wikipedia: An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts messages about sensitive topics constructed to cause controversy in an online community such as an online discussion forum or USENET groups in order to bait users into responding.

So, uh no. I was just pointing out that the op has posted at least two trolls in as many days. So whatever. I really don't need a response to this.

I would assume that calling somebody a troll might be a sensitive topic to that person...

Well if they bring back gambling they should also bring in some over-sexed Teens with overly-protective parents.

Make it worth the FBI's time to come in. :D

/me now has images of FBI Avatars in black riot garb busting into a SL Casino, with all of 'em typing "Freeze!! Click the floor & lay down!!"
Of course, some of these FBI Avatars would have their guns stuck up their asses when they rez. :p

How can you have gambling without Elvis singing Viva Las Vegas?

(words & music by doc pomus and mort shuman)
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And theyre all livin devil may care
And Im just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
cause even if there were forty more
I wouldnt sleep a minute away
Oh, theres black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on evry deal
All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

Viva las vegas with you neon flashin
And your one armbandits crashin
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime
Turnin night into daytime
If you see it once
Youll never be the same again

Im gonna keep on the run
Im gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
Ill always remember that I had a swingin time
Im gonna give it evrything Ive got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with evry shot
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,
Viva, viva las vegas

It hasn't left yet, i know many places where you can gamble.

I ain't going tell you where though, i don't want anyone to file abuse reports against them.

Let the lindens deal with it and don't clog the AR system.
