I've written up a slot-machine thing for ecash, very experimental, very buggy, not very slick, (i'd like to get the technical bugs worked out before i put a fancy wrapper on it) and i'd *like* to announce it here for testing, but I'm worrying about gambling laws.. any thoughts?

there are several gambling bits going on from what I read. I dont gamble so I never noted any addresses down, but someone should remember or have it in their archives.

Or check out a whole slew of other gambling ventures at <http://www.casino.org> They were in on the ecash trial, I think.

Its legal until someone makes some money at it. Soon as someone makes enough to notice, then you can bet that the FBI/IRS/Dept. of Agriculture (responsible for weights and measures in many locals) and the local lottery commission are all going to come and take a piece of the action. Having a gamebling establishment is something that, in America, is reserved as a privleadge solely for the capitalist elite. If you don't have a big-ass bankroll and a rolodez full of connections to begin with, you can expect to find your ass in jail and your posessions on the auction block just as soon as someone takes notice of you. But thanks to the InterNet, thats all changed. =) I for one would be happy to pay all applicatable income taxes to any government that would allow me to host gambeling via the net and promise not to throw me in jail for making too much money too fast or not following some outdated work ethic. Of course, you still run the risk that you might wake up one night to find yourself sourrounded by Navy seals and assult copters, or that congress will mandate a national firewall on your site or something equally extream, but not unless you are really living the good life. =) Christopher
