There is currently an issue with Google Chrome 50 that is affecting some computers with an AMD video card (and possibly other brands using certain drivers) on Windows. This can cause various features in the game to break, such as the phone, poker lobby, etc. This is not a bug with CasinoRPG and isn't something that we can fix in our code. We've been in contact with Google, and they have fixed the issue in the upcoming Chrome 51. In the meantime, they suggest to either use Chrome Canary or another browser such as Edge until Chrome 51 is released.

Happy Birthday CasinoRPG, you are now 2 years old (since beta testing ended)! The game and community have evolved and grown tremendously over this time, and we can't wait to see what year 3 has in store.
We've got a lot of great updates in the works, so whatever is to come, we know it will be exciting and a whole lot of fun for all. We can't fully express how much we appreciate all of you that have been part of this game, and we hope to see all of you continue with us on this journey!

We've been hard at work on a total overhaul to the look and feel of CasinoRPG. A team of artists and programmers have been working tirelessly for nearly a year to create the stunning new visuals you now see in-game, the likes of which have never been possible until recent advancements in graphics processing technology. We call it NoirVision™, and we think you're going to love it!
To go along with this new look and feel, we've introduced some jazzy new period-specific music (pun absolutely intended). The entire 2:37 will loop over and over and over, and it simply makes the experience magical.
NoirVision™ is an incredible advancement in gaming technology, but it does come with a few notable drawbacks. Namely, in order to process such a stark lack of color, we've had to remove all non-period specific clothing from the game. Everyone now has on their best detective fedora or dress...all in the same conformist style of course!
Too much of a change all at once? Not a problem! We've also added a nifty "toggle noir" button that will temporarily allow you to teleport in and out of 1920s GoldFire City with ease. This will let you get used to the new vibrancy of NoirVision™ before it goes mainstream.
Edit: If you hadn't guessed, yes this was just an April Fools joke!
