    LMAO, you will have geeks betting on GFX cards with Mem Chips!

    Its free, its also beta, i expect more games and features, so its nothing really special now. Poker is fun with chat. You get chips for logging in, posting and of course, winning.

    Does this thread relate to the entry appearing under my details. See thumbnail attached. If not, what us this Casino Cash $250 about, and how can I get rid of it, as it relates to me.

    There are enough ways to lose money gambling without MG promoting this.

    i have a question. I go to Texas Hold Em, but no one else is there. As people join, would we all go same table, or is there a way to see if people are at a table? Anyone know?

    In case someone wants to try to see what happens, I am sitting at a table right now. i am ready and waiting.:D

    Suggestion

    Why not take the chips from people who are not interested and put them in the Lottery Pot?
    All the more to share out for the folk playing :)

    Just a thought :)

    I would agree unless someone has a problem with gambling in which case maybe they don't want the 'money' sitting under their name.

    I'm not saying those who are complaining do... jus' saying.

    Maybe just disable the feature that is creating the money amount in all the posts?

    Agreed. Of course he went to the "casino" and replied here 3 times. Pretty weird, I would ignore the thread. Forums are here for fun, we would do something if a lot of regulars didnt like it, but we dont do politically correct and the site owners like to gamble... responsibly.

    Sorry, but not for me.
    If MG'ers want it then maybe Tim and Jim can set up a separate Forum like the live chat idea.

    It may be a game for you, but for too many people spend too much money gambling, even if this is only a game for MG'ers.

    Well, don't play it then. I can assure you that they won't set up a separate forum because a few people don't care for the idea of it.

    I haven't stepped one foot in (nor the arcade), and I can honestly say that it has not affected anything I do here. Why cause such a commotion for something so minor, that you are not required to do?

    Sorry Adrynalyne, I was just voicing my opinion of the idea. Others agreed. End of story. Bazza

    I think you are taking this far to serious. If you have a gambling problem or are concerned about others that do then don't play the 'game'. It's here just for fun just like the other games in the arcade...games I might add that others have been known to 'bet' on. Added to that...maybe those with gambling problems, pRon problems, etc. should just disconnect from the internet b/c such indulgences are easily found....specifically ones where you give out your credit card #, bank account #, etc. And don't forget all those tempting spam emails for gambling sites, etc...better quit with the email account (s) to while you're ahead.

    The casino here at MG is no different than the downloads, arcade & various forums...you have the choice to click or not. If you can't resist clicking then you do have a problem and maybe you should seek help so you can learn to resist.:)

    As a final comment...a seperate forum like for live chat....uhmmm...it would still boil down to clicking or not as the link would be here at MG, the same as the casino link is now.

    I have a clicking problem LOL Sorry AbbySue, i just couldn't resist it :D

    At a guess I would say the most likely problem people may have had with the idea was the 'money' being displayed underneath members details.

    That has been removed now

    just my 3 cents (darn inflation)

    On with the show :)

    v 0.50 (Oct 23)
    - New game: Ninja slots, Same basic game, with a new set of images and payout schedule. This one pays out a little more frequently, but in smaller amounts. Balances out to about the same. Why ninjas? I run a martial arts site
    - Adjusted payouts on single player games to be more inline with casino norms
    - Did some tweaking on the chat box and stats pages, hopefully resolves some of the issues some people where having.
    - switched the testing / demo site to something more suited, http://vbgaming.org This will also be used for a few other projects I'm working on as they become ready.

    And I think you are too sarcastic.I don't think that Bigbazza have addiction problem.He doesnt speak that way.Of course we are adults,but in this forum comes teen kids,so what example we put in there faces?That we allow gambling on this forum?C"MON.We can't think only for ourselves,we are not alone.This forum is the BEST World Wide forum.And I'm proud to be Major Geek.This is my opinion.

    Me neither. Way I look at it is, worst possible case scenario - someone might lose all their virtual money, which wasn't worth squat anyway, and maybe had a little fun in the process. ~ It's like, I occasionally kill people and cause mayhem in the virtual world. But I know it's just a computer screen and speakers, at the end of the day, No biggie, i.m.h.o. if some have 'issues', then as said, participation is presumably voluntary.

    The most important thing for those with gambling problems to remember is:

    The world will not change for you. It never has, it never will. You have to be the one to change. Casinos do not shut down because of someone's gambling problem. It is up to you as a person to stay away from those temptations, if they are an issue for you.
