Big tycoon updates:
- Popularity is now much more realistic and more challenging to achieve. There is no longer a hard 100 limit at the high end.
- Popularity now has a greater impact on how many patrons visit your casino.
- The location of your casino can help improve your casino's popularity.
- When real players visit your casino, you will get popularity boosts for that (think of real players as in-game celbrities that the AI players want to be around).
