Gambling really banned from SL?

It has been a while now since the ban on gambling in SL came into effect. Some dispised the ban, others welcomed it. But all in all, what can you do about it?

Most of the casino owners just gave up and left SL, or found other -legal- things to do. Others just went on, oblivious to any bans, and then there are the ones who went underground. Obviously, the latter are very hard to find, but I did find a few casino's still operational.


Obviously, the description on the parcel has changed and it's not advertised as a casino. But I bet those who are determined to find a place to gamble, go to great extend to find those places and keep them secret. Some have even hand signs to help them doing that.


The casino I was visiting was being dismantled as I was there. It was done by the owner of the region/sim, not the casino owner. So in the end, I bet it will only be the really underground places that will remain. And the same will go for shops that sell casino signs, like the one I found ...
