" LINDEN LAB, hallowed creator of the Second Life virtual world, has
announced that all in-world casinos and miscellaneous gambling joints
are herewith to be shut down.
That means that the large chunk of users that enjoyed using in-world
casinos and betting Linden Dollars on events both inside and outside
the game world will now have nothing left to do.
Perhaps more to the point for Linden, the move will cut off the
revenues earned from those owning Casino-style islands in the game,
the owners of which are some of the top contributors to the Linden
coffers through currency fees and land rental. ""
