Gambling In Second Life

As you may or may not know, several months ago Linden Labs banned 'Gambling' or at least, what THEY considered to be gambling. I have noticed however the money hugging casino equivalents such as 'Studio 777' (or should i say 666) are still allowed to run!
The banning of games such as poker was probably not because it's 'gambling' so to speak, as most people know there is an actual skill to poker, and counting cards can be an almost fool proof method of assuring a win.
The other issue with games like these, is that there will always be a winner, and my bet is that virtual 'casino' owners bombarded the Linden Labs emails with complaints about being ripped off. Unfortunately for them Linden Labs moved quickly to close their casino's and ban what are in my opinion 'winnable' games.

People may look at this article and go "So what? if your so stupid to waste your money there then you deserve to lose your money!" and my answer to this is simple, Linden Labs BANNED gambling, and i'm sure clubs like Studio 777 should have been told to take down their machines and major glitch rigging ways. But if my suspicions are correct, some of these club owners may have a tight working relationship with Linden Labs.

We need YOUR help to stop gambling!
