FEATURE
Added a new "Events" app to the in-game phone. This gives you access to current and upcoming poker tournaments, slot tournaments and a new bomb party scheduling feature for Double XP Day.
FEATURE
In order to better streamline and facilitate "bomb parties" on Double XP Day each month, we've created an official system for scheduling and running these monthly parties. The schedule will be released 2 weeks before Double XP Day (which is the last Saturday of every month), and for the first 3 days the time slots will be auctioned for chips. Any remaining slots after those 3 days can be claimed for free on a first come, first served basis. On Double XP Day, everyone can use the Events app to see the schedule and get free rides directly to the party. Read all of the details about this new feature in the game guide.

Directly from the office of The Mayor of GoldFire City, we have breaking news of an unknown substance discovered in the water supply around the city. If you woke up this morning with your feet hanging off of your bed, do not panic! The effects will wear off in time, but be sure to avoid drinking from the many fountains around the city. Detective Watts believes the culprit is once again the elusive figure known simply as The Shark. We will update when we have more information.
In unrelated news, the GoldFire City semi-professional basketball team has seen a surge in try-outs and is looking to revamp the roster. More on that during the Sports Report at 10:00.
