Portalarium

Richard Garriott is proposing to knit up the OpenLife realms with a casino, it seems. He will attempt to bypass 'adult' content (which honestly, I very rarely come across in SL now - I know it's there but since I don't look for it I don't see it) while actively promoting gambling by way of a browser plugin that interfaces with Facebook. It started with something insalubriously monikered 'Sweet @$! Poker' rebranded to the Portalarium theme, and has blackjack as well.

I'm not a gambling person and it seems cheesey and distasteful to me, but oh, well, I'm sure it will be profitable if that's all he wants.

wasn't gambling illegalized awhile ago?
or does it depend on what state the server sits in?

It was, and I don't know how things stand now, but here's a page about their poker: http://www.portalarium.com/sweet-poker/187.html
Surely there'd be no drawing power if it were not tied up with money somehow, but don't ask me how as I amn't interested.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
