Foreclosure Auctions - previously, inactive casinos would slowly decay and would eventually be destroyed and released back to the market. This new system will now put these casinos up for auction after the owner has been inactive for 120+ days (though to prevent the market from being flooded, it is currently set at a higher threshold and will be lowered down to 120 over the coming weeks). They are given a 7-day window to login and prevent foreclosure, after which the 7-day auction will begin. The auctions can be accessed from a new "auctions" tab on the Real Estate Market (table map in Real Estate buildings).

A new scoring element has been added to crew battles and wars: team challenges! Each battle and each day of war gets 5 random team challenges (there are currently 10 possible and each team has the same challenges in the same order). Each completed challenge gives a +5% bonus to the team's score when completed, and your team can't work towards the next challenge until the previous is completed. The team challenge information and live scoring will be displayed on the scorecard.

Starting new battles has been tweaked to make it easier to get one started. Now, instead of cancelling immediately after getting the required votes when no crews are available, the challenge will go into a pending state until the full 24 hours has expired. If another crew becomes available to battle during that time, the battle will then get setup.

The exponential increase of lot fees is vital to the structure of the game's economy, but it became clear that after a certain point the fees were rising far too rapidly. We've created a new formula that fixes this for both chips and casino points and is applied to both the Real Estate Office and Market.

In order to compensate for the decreased lot fees, there is now a time-limit on lot purchases (whether from Real Estate Office or Market): no limits up to 15, 1 per week up to 30, 1 every other week up to 50 and 1 per month after that. If you sell a lot, the timer is reset and you can buy a new lot immediately.

There are 20 new indoor wall items available for casinos, crews and condos.

War scoring now behaves the same as battle scoring. If one war team has more active players than the other, it will be limited to the top scores up to that number.

The voting requirements for battles now max out at 25 (so crews larger than 50 no longer need the full 50% to challenge).

Moved the main casinorpg.com site to our new hosting provider, so pages like this one should now load more quickly.

The "close floor" button has been moved to the right of the floor name.

Fixed rare issue that could cause casinos upgrading from 2 to 3-stars to become invisible.

The medal descriptions in profiles are again visible.

The ending animation in solitaire now works after winning.

We've been hard at work on a brand new slot machine - Egyptian Slots! Right now it uses the standard bonus game, but a unique bonus game and other improvements are in the works as well.

To go along with the new slot game, there are now 58 amazing new Egyptian-themed items available for your casinos.

There is now an option to close casino floors after they've been opened. It works the same as opening/closing full casinos and can be accessed from the elevator display.

Added an "undo" button on Roulette that lets you undo previous bets without needing to clear all of them.

Crew battle fees have been completely re-worked. The upgrade for battles has been removed (refunds have been given for time remaining). Instead, there is now a flat fee when challenging, which gets refunded if the battle doesn't happen. In order to be eligible for battle, go into your crew's settings and check the "Battles" checkbox.

The traffic lights around the city now sync-up correctly with the other lights at the intersection - no more mayhem in the streets!

We've rewritten our database connection layer to support a newer version with better speed and the ability to support many more online players than before (it could take up to 24 hours before all servers are updated to the new database version, but that won't change functionality at all).

The floor editing tool has been vastly improved. Instead of placing one tile at a time, you can now click and drag to "paint" a rectangular area of tiles on the floor of your condo, casino, crew and lot.

When viewing the window to start a new battle, you will now be able to see how many crews are currently available at each bet level.

The pending battle screen now live updates when other crew members submit votes.

Further decreased the chance of items breaking with the more open casinos you have (shared resources and expertise with a larger operation).

Made a few small visual improvements to the phone.

Holding the shift key and pressing arrow keys now correctly highlights characters in text input boxes.
