Hmm... If it's not Social (because there's no features you'd expect in most SL venues).. ..and if it's not a Casino (because as some assert, it's not "gambling").. ..then how is it a Social Casino? Maybe "Helios" is like "Hell"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, it's more like "She still has both shoes, so didn't lose one stumbling home after a night out". You know, like Cinderella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then the good thing is those bots keep emailing each other XD nah for real I know what you mean. They seemed to have this glued together quite hastily..and with duct tape from the 100yen store...in general...when you search for Casino it tells you that what your search is against the ToS That's like RL Monty Python 😂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a buy-in fee, like a cover charge to access a club. The tokens, the twitter post clearly states, have no real value and are not exchangeable. Entertainment purposes only. I doubt many gambling addicts would bother with simply virtually pulling slot levers without the slimmest hope of getting anything else out of it. Its the hope of one day hitting a jackpot that has them hooked, isn't it? Poker games have buy-in fees. It's called ante up. https://www.poker-king.com/dictionary/ante-up/ Please don't try to claim playing poker isn't gambling even if you are only playing with chips or toothpicks etc. The only winner in gambling is the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like me in SL. I don't even drink what are supposed to be recreations of alcoholic drinks because it reminds me. However, I don't think SL should ban all alcoholic-looking drinks because I and others here in SL may have been alcoholics at one time. We may be recovered alcoholics. I mostly do not even think of alcohol at all as I've been off alcohol for approx. 30 years and I don't go to bars in SL. This topic is reminding me of the addition aspects of alcohol rather than gambling to which I have no gambling addition and never had. I like to spin for prizes every once in awhile like at a real life Arcade. Win a few (like about 3) prizes a year and that's it. The Casino thing is a reminder (but could be a dangerous reminder), and those amounts to pay for some kind of non-transferable chips is astounding. But, even if it were free, it would still be a reminder of gambling and could lead the recovered gambler right back into rl betting and casino gambling.

My own tattoos were the best thing I ever did. And, since they are mostly on my back and sides, I forget they are there (don't even notice them in the mirror). Another idea for "gift shop ideas" at the Casino: "Temporary Tattoos" that say, "HELIOS". (Like the T-shirt that says, "I WENT TO HELIOS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT".) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
