I knew as soon as I teleported to the "Slapnuts Gaming Centre" I was in for a treat. From the professional facade, sporting two lovely YELLOW and BLACK displays proclaiming "Simply the finest virtual gaming venue", I was going to get an eyeful. (Of what, I don't know.)

Lets go inside, shall we?

Oh - what is this? The attention to detail is UNPRECEDENTED, as this SLExchange kiosk is precisely placed on one of the upper steps of the front door, with the improbable 75% hanging out into open space. Good show!

A grey-toned welcome sign alongside a simple ramp to the second floor implores me to "Touch here to join our group". After checking this - Slapnuts Casino and noting that there are only 13 members (which for some reason doesn't show up in Mr. Slapnuts Newall's profile...), I decided to avoid that unlucky number.

Speaking of Mr. Newall, he's been in SL since 11/28/2006. Long enough to see the casino ban. How wiley!

Games adorn every single wall, with *sexy* black backdrops and YELLOW text everywhere.

The upper floor is tastefully appointed in LARGE YELLOW signs with BLACK text - using the same font, because hey, if you're willing to play here, you can't be bothered to notice the difference!

Another LOOPHOLE LOLZ touch is the 'match tile' game that you use to 'cash out'.

My verdict? Enjoy playing here if you'd like your 'winnings' to disappear when they get shut down.

pics! those of us stuck at work want pics!

ok..those of us not really caring to waste our time visiting this casino want to critique vicariously through your eyes.

Macphisto Angelus · 07-30-2008, 12:18 PM

With a name like Slapnuts.. it's gonna go places!

Trout Recreant · 07-30-2008, 12:18 PM

So...How much did you lose. Be honest...Was it a bundle? Blackjack? Slots?

Colette Meiji · 07-30-2008, 12:26 PM

Im confused why the Lindens would care about a loophole. And not just delete the place.

I thought they gave up all pretense of having to be accountable within the TOS/published rules years ago.

Not that I think they are really anti-gambling

Wildefire Walcott · 07-30-2008, 12:29 PM

Yellow is my least favorite color.

Charlemagne Allen · 07-30-2008, 12:30 PM

Can you drop a SLURL, so we can all AR the place at our leisure? I love mob justice.

I think it would be more fun if the Lindens forced all of the permissions on in this plot.

Then post a blog entry inviting all people to go there and test their physical devices.

Polymorphous · 07-30-2008, 12:39 PM

I knew as soon as I saw Slapnuts post this was going to be popular with the SLU crowd.

Generous use of yellow and a name like Slapnuts, this guy is really going places fast!

Maxx Monde · 07-30-2008, 12:45 PM

First, some screenshots!! (Then the SLURL)

And now, the SLURL!

Enjoy!

Trout Recreant · 07-30-2008, 01:00 PM

I'mma gonna buy me that fancy purple couch. I bet you'll never find the ketchup stains on that baby.

Wait. I just invented a game of skill. Find the stain on the sofa. Identify what it is for a bonus! Opening soon: Trout's Casino of SKILLZ. I'll also feature "Scrub Trout's Toilet and Win a Prize", "Name That Sandwich That's Been In Trout's Fridge For a Month", and "Who Pooped in the Potted Plant?"

This is gonna be great! I'll Be RICH!! RICH! Haaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaa! Wheee.

Ewan Took · 07-30-2008, 01:01 PM

Love the bumble bee theme.

Verkin Raven · 07-30-2008, 01:07 PM

Reminds me of Wolfenstein 3D, where the ceiling was a solid color.

Wolf3D had a much more massive pallet of 256 colors though.

I wonder if that guy knows this? Especially the triangle yellow signs. Subconsciously that is gonna send up some flags in customer minds.

better yet....a floating text with random letter generator. If your name begins with that letter, sit on the stain and win a prize.

Cindy Claveau · 07-30-2008, 01:14 PM

He had 4 posts when he started the other thread. I still haven't looked to find his other 3 yet.

Ewan Took · 07-30-2008, 01:23 PM

Pretty short sighted to pick Z$. At least if you made it A$, when that gets busted you could then make it B$. So could swap B$ for A$ then L$. When B$ gets busted you can buy C$, which can swap for B$ for A$ then L$. And on.You know where this is going.

You would think that as much of our legal, non-offensive stuff LL arbitrarily lose every day, they wood just chuck truly offensive stuff and shrug their shoulders when asked about it.

I think he is one step ahead of you Ewan. He will completely throw everyone off the trail when he moves from Z$ to Y$. Because...shhhh...it's backwards! see?

Talwyn Mills · 07-30-2008, 01:52 PM

Actually this is an interesting point. LL classify gambling as any game where you pay, a random number generator is used and a prize of value is given (how that covers my beloved Texas Holdem I don't know, but that is not the point).

Are the Z$ of any value? I've no idea, but if there is no chance of loosing Z$ at the match "skill" game then you could argue that they are. But I don't think there is any need to since the US have made it pretty much illegal to use any wire based method of buying into these games, which is exactly what your doing here buying Z$ for L$.

LL may need to tighten up the terms on its gambling ban, but I don't see this place lasting ling.

The prize will be a course of antibiotics to kill whatever you picked up by sitting on the stain.
