Was attending this place, but the Bicky Burger closed without explanation to anyone in the group! All we lack a lot of consideration on his part! I myself lost a lot of money on machines Zyngo the site and know that other people also lost! What about the camping, where you got beans and could play with them at MACHINERY lucky to exchange for Lindens, I can say it was not so easy! We had to spend all day sitting doing camping and was always necessary to play the machines of chance (or Zyngo deal) but he took you from the group and you could not do camp in bean that gave more beans. Anyway, I got many of the same beans, now does not serve me for nothing, because he disappeared andnot more where we exchange them. What about Zyngo machines are indeed gambling and lost a lot of money on them! Who wins is only the owner of the machine, as always! Please excuse the errors because I'm using a translator.

He sounded like he really believes he has brought something very special in SL and wants to show the world. I mean he didn't sound like a lame spammer. Reading his note I thought it was another stupid attempt to find a worthless loophole for the gambling ban. But after teleporting there and actually having a try, I must say I was amazed by the concept. It all looks decent and worked out well. I actually had fun on that slotmachines and video poker :) And as he stated you actually can get your winnings payed in Linden Dollars because it actually is not gambling, but joining a sweepstakes drawing. Do we need it? Well I think that's up to every individual to decide. I like it because I had fun in the casino's in the past as well. Sweepstakes also exist in real life and are in fact very popular in US. Even big company's like Mc Donalds use it for their promotional purposes. If the BickyBeans system is respecting the same rules, I don't see why it would not be acceptable in SL. And if nobody needs it, it will have no market value and despite of the great work Bicky has done overthere, it will die in silence. But in my opinion I think such a creative project should get some support or at least a 'second chance'! I received that message too from Bicky Burger and contacted him about it.
