FEATURE
In addition to a new poker lobby, we've made quite a few improvements to the poker game as well:
FEATURE
Two new scheduled tournaments have been added to the slate: Millionaire Maker and Saturday Showdown (these will start to get scheduled over the next few days).
UPDATE
The "Bi-Daily 25 CP Turbo" tournaments now pay out CP instead of chips.
UPDATE
We've switched our card shuffling algorithm to use the xorshift128+ random number generation algorithm. This results in even more realistic shuffling of cards. This affects things like poker, blackjack, solitaire and more.
UPDATE
Player visits to casinos now count again after midnight rather than only after 24 hours.
UPDATE
Tweaked several of the war and battle challenges.
UPDATE
Slightly increased the size of local/table chat bubbles.
UPDATE
Converted game-wide audio from OGG to WebM for better audio performance and faster loading.
FIX
Those of you having issues with some invisible items should now have them all taken care of.
