News & Updates

Casino Points Market - You can now buy and sell Casino Points with other players for Chips. Simply click on the green 'GET' button in the top left of your screen and go to the 'SELL' tab.

There's new types of garbage and other objects that can now periodically be left in your casino. These are items that your janitors have either missed or just ignored, so it is your job as the owner of the casino to keep them on task and point out the troublesome garbage/objects. Who knows, they might find something interesting in there as well!

There is now a graph showing your profit history.

More tweaks to how popularity is calculated.

Repairing an item for the first time now works correctly.

Fix some issues with global chat not showing correctly.

Casinos can now go out of business and foreclose. If a casino is in bad shape and the owner can't keep up the bills, the bank will begin buying items back one by one as employees also begin to walk off the job due to non-payment. If this continues and eventually the casino empties out, the casino itself will be sold back to the bank. Eventually, if someone hasn't been online for long enough, the land will foreclose and the Real Estate Office will reclaim the land, making it available for purchase by other players again.

A referral system has now been built into the previously mentioned casino sharing feature. This system will allow you to earn Casino Points when your friends signup and play CasinoRPG. This feature will also be activated when public beta begins.

The 'Earn Casino Points' tab is now complete, which can be accessed by clicking the green 'GET' button at the top of your screen. This allows you to complete offers to get Gold and convert it to Casino Points. This also lets you vote for CasinoRPG on various sites to receive 5 Casino Points and 500 Chips daily! You can start voting today to help grow out already amazing community.

57 new clothing items are now available to change into. This increases the total character combinations from around 74,000 to over 410,000! This is just the beginning...

8 new items have been added to the casinos and condos (Glass Walls and Glass Wall Corners).

When upgrading a casino, before it is complete, you now must go back to your lot and re-place the building so that it doesn't overlap any outdoor items from the change in size.

We've added in some mechanisms to compensate for lower framerates so that the screen doesn't jump so badly.

Some minor tweaks to the slots odds.

Outdoor item movements are now broadcast to nearby players in the same way that indoor items are.

Movements and upgrades of buildings and now broadcast to nearby players as well.

There are now level limits on some of the clothing so that you have to earn the 'better' outfits.

Several visual tweaks to the new casino alerts.

Buttons to repair items no longer get hidden behind other items.

Cleanliness now correctly maxes out at 100.

Various other bug fixes.

Tycoon alerts have now made their way into this update. They are limited at the moment to alerts of employees quitting due to low morale and other factors, but this will continue to get expanded as we progress through beta. These notices will appear when you enter your casino.

The tycoon has received a lot of behind-the-scenes updates with how things are calculated and simulated. This is still very much a work in progress, so expect more major changes in this area soon. We are also looking for any feedback you have on the tycoon aspect of CasinoRPG.

The speech bubbles for NPC portraits (Real Estate Office, Metrics Menu, etc) have been updated to be more dynamic and flexible.

Fix bug that allowed some players to accidentally build multiple of the same building on top of each other.

Fix a connection bug that was causing several other random bugs.

A feature that will become available with public beta is sharing your casino with friends. This means that even if they don't have a CasinoRPG account, they will be able to view your casino live through a unique link. This will also double as a referral system that will let you get rewards for inviting your friends to play. While you can't use this yet, the initial system that will run this is built into this release.

Critical bug fix with the intro tutorial that caused it to break halfway through.

All data that gets passed between the players and the game server is now encrypted to ensure ultimate security and better compatibility with higher security networks.

As items in your casino get used more and more, they will tend to break down over time. As this happens, you will see them 'shut off' (go dark) and a repair icon will show over them. You can then click on the icon and your maintenance people will go fix them for you.

Outdoor items can now be upgraded just like the indoor items.

Several large improvements to missions givers. They are now much easier to click on for one thing. The coin above their head highlights when you mouse over them.

Several tweaks to new player tutorial.

Fixed a bug in Blackjack that was causing tables to freeze after they filled up.

Position of mission UI fixed with the addition of the new vault tab.

We are now tracking the consecutive days that you've logged in (this will later be used for bonuses and medals).

Fix XP bug with slots on bonus spins.

Fixed a bug that kept an upgrading building from completing.

Some players had managed to put on jeans and a suit, which broke the game for them. This should no longer be possible.

Lots of other various error fixes that were causing some issues.

Vaults! Yes, your casinos now come with a vault (though you might want to upgrade from that old, dusty shoebox). Vaults serve two really great purposes that will open up the door for some more future updates that we have in store. Vaults allow you to store both items and chips. You can now move items from your casino floor into the vault and securely store them there (for example, if you are rearranging your floor and don't want to sell everything). Also, all profits from your casino go straight into the vault for safe-keeping. Whenever you need more chips, you simply go to one of your casinos and withdraw those chips from the vault. You have one vault that is shared between all of your casinos.

The back-end is in place for medals, so now we are just waiting on the art (if medals get added before public beta, they will be reset with everything else).

Fix position of dialog text in tutorial and Real Estate Building.

Fix issue with buttons showing incorrectly when switching between an item that is being moved in and one that has already moved in.
