The holidays are upon us and the festivities are in full swing in CasinoRPG! We have a huge Holiday Gifting event that can earn you a special trophy item if you meet the goals.

Halloween Update
It is Halloween in GoldFire City and we are running a huge trick-or-treat event! Participation in the event can earn you a special Trick-or-Treat Trophy item (if you meet the goals). We've also released 6 limited edition vampire-themed items that will only be available during the event, which concludes the evening of November 9.
This update is also packed with new features and improvements, including:
Tired of waiting for others to join you for a round of bingo? That wait is now over as we've built bots into bingo that will play with you until other real players join to take their spots!
Items in your vault can now be directly gifted to your friends for a small postage fee! Simply go to their profile and click on the "Send Gift" option in the actions list (previously "transfer chips"). You can also still send chips through this same window.
Party Bombs can now be purchased in packs of 5 (with a wait time of 50 minutes).
Each player now has an "available for battle" toggle from their crew's battle window. Toggling this off will prevent you from being able to participate in any battles that occur while it is unchecked, but it also lowers your team's "active" count which is used to determine team size. So, if any of your crew members won't be available for a battle, you can still start a battle challenge without worrying about being at a disadvantage.
There is now the option to cancel a battle challenge for a full refund before a match has been made with another crew.
There are now descriptions for medals in both your profile window and on the list of medals accessed via the toolbar (some are still kept a secret until you unlock them).
Citizens can now click an address in a player's profile to be taken directly to that location (non-citizens will have the location added as a waypoint).
Added new medals for reaching level 125 and level 150.
All new and past Halloween limited edition ATM machines now give jack-o-lanterns as party bombs.
Summer Promo/Event
It is summer-time in GoldFire City and we are running a huge hotdog eating contest to celebrate! Participation in the event will earn you a special Hotdog Eating Contest Trophy (assuming you meet the goal). In addition, we've got 6 amazing tiki-themed limited edition items that will only be available during the event, which concludes the evening of August 12.
Crew Battle/War Updates
The last few updates to the game have been focussed on improving the crew battle/war systems to make them more fair, balanced and easy to use. Due to varying crew sizes, this was often not the case, so we've made the following changes:
Crew rankings were not very transparent, so we've overhauled them and made the formula public in the wiki: https://guide.casinorpg.com/crews/overview. We've also added a new monthly ranking to the crew listings.
Crew battles now have fixed-size teams. When a battle is pending, your crew leaders can select who will participate in the battle, with the team size set to the smaller crew's active player count.
Crews are no longer automatically entered into wars. Once a war gets declared, your crew has 2 days to join the war. Once your crew has joined, each individual member can join and your crew only pays the entry fee for those that actually want to participate.
Once the teams are set, a lottery will be run for each day of the war to balance out the teams. If the teams aren't the same size, the larger of the two teams will randomly select players to sit out for that day.
Lots of other bug fixes and tweaks to improve the battle/war experience.
We've made these changes based on all of your feedback, so please keep it coming and we'll continue to make improvements!
Winter Olympics Promo/Event
The Winter Olympics are here and GoldFire City is hosting! Team up with the rest of the community to collect the most gold medals. Everyone that reaches the personal and community goal will win a limited edition trophy item!
In addition to this community event, we've released 6 limited edition themed poker tables to put in your casinos. Click on the Olympic Rings and Gold Medal icons for details on the promo and the event. But hurry, these won't be available again after February 23!
