We now have independent confirmation, gambling is once again allowed in SL.

[07:32] Kaylee Linden: aargyle’s machines have been checked by our legal team and are not against tos

So as long as you have a braindead easy “game of skill” to cash out your casino’s chips, gambling is back.

I have to apologize to both Aargyle and SLNN.  I had criticized SLNN for glowing coverage, thinking they had jumped the gun, and I called Aargyle a liar (indirectly), when expressing my disbelief that Linden Lab actually “approved” his game system.

I had written in my debate with Matthew Beller that Linden Lab can’t reduce the Linden Dollar supply. It seems that this is incorrect. It has been claimed in a Reuters story that Linden Lab plans to accept tier payments in Linden Dollars if there were a crisis of value. It remains to be seen if Linden Lab will actually have the balls to do such a move when crunch time comes, however. One can only hope we never see that day.
