As always, thanks to everyone who pitches in and helps when issues are uncovered. With 67 games across multiple devices and platforms (66 on IOS), the code base for Riverboat Gambler has grown tremendously.

As my first app, this was originally/simply meant to be a fun diversion. Now, though, it has grown into a popular application with a loyal Player community and it requires a lot of care and feeding to maintain.

I really couldn't do this without your help!

This release is about “bug fixes” and “tweaks”

First, the Tweaks:

It turns out that all of the Blackjack games have been handling Split cards incorrectly since those games were first released. I want to thank Fernando, a casino floor supervisor, for reaching out via email to bring that to my attention. Now, all Blackjack games will handle splits by first separating the two original cards and then playing each hand individually in turn. This means that you will no longer receive a new, second card on each hand before play resumes after a split.

When considering this minor nuance, it makes sense to me. I assume it is in the House's favor that the Player not burn two sequential cards from the shoe because they would prefer those two cards be played on the first split card. Who knew? I'm a Mississippi Stud guy. Because I like to split 10s, the folks at the Blackjack table generally want to beat me up.

Bug Fixes:

Spanish 21: the recent change to Spanish 21 to support the ability to Double Down up to 3x created a bug that could lock up the game. Many thanks to Donald for reaching out via "Send Feedback" to alert me to the situation. While I didn't reproduce the problem despite a screenshot from Donald, I did find some code that needed to be adjusted.

Craps: It figures the last release to smooth things out for the Odds wagers would break something. The challenge I was chasing was providing the Player the ability to place valid Odds wagers in $1 increments while ensuring the minimum odds amounts were being placed and ensuring whatever amount was wagered was compatible with the odds that would be paid. Both Mobark (all the way up in Canada) and Donald reached out immediately to alert me to the fact that the code I introduced was improperly rounding the base wagers for Place Bets. Basically, 6s and 8s were a real problem. That issue has been addressed in this release. Thanks for your help folks. I truly appreciate you!

More changes coming soon! I really need to spend some time making the Blackjack and Spanish 21 changes on "that other platform" so those Players aren't neglected. Then, I'll be right back enhancing and extending RBG!

Please keep telling folks about the app and thank you for your support!
