Good to see them listening to their players. Hopefully it only takes an hour this time, and not 3 days.

[shellabella]

An hour huh? we'll see. They have to do what they have to do and we have to be patient! sigh...

[gametime74]

they are actually going to take it down on a late frid- sat morning and expected to be back up in a hr..yeah right, i got a piece of ocean front property in idaho for sale for only 2k..lol..

This update is crap. I see nowhere have they addressed the issues that were most important. Mini Mode and the bleeping RNG. Bring Mini Mode back and fix the shit Merge RNG. Oh yeah, although not software related, how bout cashouts in a fking reasonable amount of time and not bouncing checks all the fking time?

Lol this update is not crap, most of these solve the majority of problem that's pissing everyone off. This is more important then what you define important for you.
