We know a lot of people really love playing the slots, and we also know that our current version of the slots left a lot to be desired. So, instead of trying to shape the current slots into something they weren't, we decided to rebuild the slots from the ground up.
This release contains the slot machine known as 'Classic Slots', but more themes will be on the way in the near future. This new version of the slots performs dramatically better than the old slots in addition to looking dramatically better. We've also added some great new features like a max bet button, an auto spin button, a counter showing how many free spins you have left, lots of new animations and sounds and a new bonus mini-game. Every time you see 2+ treasure chests on the screen, a light will turn on. Once all 5 rows of lights are filled, you'll get to play a simple bonus mini-game for extra winnings!

FEATURE
The interface for the poker tables has received a total overhaul. The actual interface that you interact with has been streamlined to give more chat space, improve the layout of the action buttons and drastically improve the betting/raising functionality. In addition, we were able to increase the actual gameplay space on the table by around 15%, allowing more space for larger fonts to accommodate smaller screen sizes. There have been lots of other small improvements on the poker tables to provide a new level of polish as well.
UPDATE
A 'REMOVE FRIEND' button now appears on a player's profile if you are already friends.
