What happend with Joker Games?

[Sonja Smedley]

I was away from SL for many weeks and today I came back and noticed that at the Joker Games sim are no machines to play anymore....what happened?

I used to play No devil, I love that one but now I cannot find it  in SL.

Also looked at search and found a Joker Game place but with very low traffic and when I teleported there I saw the same.

No gaming machines....bahhh this is so annoying.:(((

Skilled gaming policy happened.

No Devil is on Linden Lab's official list of approved games according to their wiki that also provides a list of approved gaming regions, here is the link...

I think you're confused... you only have to file an application to sell games or own a skilled gaming sim.  To participate, you only need to meet the criteria listed under "Authorized participants".

ETA: If you find you can't access a skilled gaming sim, you might want to delete, then resubmit your payment information... I heard some were having issues with it.

[Phil Deakins]

Users don't have to fill anything out, or pay LL anything. It's only operators (those who put the games on their land), creators and sellers who have to do all that.

[Gabby Pixelbottom]

You don't have to sign up for anything to just play the games, you only need to do that if you are a game creator or wish to run a gaming establishment. As long as you are not in one of the US States that are specifically banned I think you should be able to visit the regions as long as you match the other criteria (I think payment info. on file is required for instance).

Have you tried to visit one of the listed regions from the link I posted above? I have read another thread where some people from Europe were being blocked from gaming regions even though the rules don't seem to indicate they should be, if you are being blocked from entering the regions that may be your problem. Perhaps an email to LL tech support would be in order.

[Phil Deakins]

Just a small heads-up. It isn't people from Europe who can't get into the sims. It's some people from anywhere.

[Gabby Pixelbottom]

The thread I read was only referring to someone from Europe, but I have not read every thread or every response here so it is certainly possible it is affecting others too, I didn't mean to imply it was Europe only necessarily.

[Sonja Smedley]

Ahhh ok then I missunderstood.Was not ingame since yesterday I will check next time.
