As always, thanks to everyone who pitches in and helps when issues are uncovered. With 68 games across multiple devices and platforms (67 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!

Happy New Year, everyone! I truly hope that 2025 becomes the best year of your life, but will not compare to the many years to come.

This release is about bug fixes, sigh! I've been writing software since Moby Dick was a minnow, so one would think that, by now, I would accept the fact that "there are always bugs".

I cannot adequately express my appreciation to the Players who took the time to use "Send Feedback" to report issues that they encountered. Riverboat Gambler has become extremely complicated in the time since it evolved from simply being my personal simulator to practice Mississippi Stud. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to fully test every game after every release on every possible device and resolution. If I ever reach "critical mass" and can afford to hire a support team, that will change. That's why catching up to "Candy Crush" is still a goal! LOL!

Bug Fixes:

1. Blackjack Games: Thanks so much to Mark for reaching out to let me know that the screens for an IPad 11 (M4) were skewed. RBG currently supports 2000+ screen layouts for the various IPad sizes and resolution/display options that are required for the 67 games. Mark was kind enough to reach out with a screenshot to show me that the screens for the Blackjack variations were broken for the IPad 11 (M4). I don't know how I missed that and I'm just going to chalk it up to fatigue. Thank you, Mark! I appreciate you!
2. Asia Poker: Berry reached out to me with a screenshot that identified an issue in how Flush hands were being compared incorrectly when a wild card was used. The edge case that was reported also uncovered some other extremely rare use cases where hand could be sorted or read incorrectly. I'll be honest: I chuckled while making these changes because there are some folks who post reviews that the "games are rigged" and they don't even comprehend how difficult it is to simply write the code honestly! LOL! Thank you, Berry!
3. Crapless Craps: As with the Blackjack games, I was not properly supporting Crapless Craps on the IPad 13 (M4) in standard and zoomed mode. Drew was kind enough to take the time to use "Send Feedback" and let me know that the game was not properly working on that device for those resolutions. Believe me: I'm not naive. I get that it's a lot easier to simply delete an app and "move on" than it is to take the time to reach out and provide feedback. The fact that Drew took that time is something for which I am extremely grateful. It allows me to continue on my quest to make RBG the best casino simulator around and others will benefit. Thank you, Drew!

There is still a very sizable backlog for me to address; new games and enhancements, but please keep your suggestions and requests coming. I will do my best to continue to exceed expectations.

As always: if you haven't already, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider leaving a review in the App Store to share your thoughts about the app. The RBG Player Community is currently my best (only) form of advertising. Periodically, I get a "bad" review. I suspect many of them are from folks who just want to steer people away from RBG hoping that their own app will be adopted. Your candid feedback can help to mitigate the damage these "bad actors" are trying to inflict.

So long as folks are playing RBG, my commitment is to maintain and enhance it. Your feedback and collaboration is what motivates me because, TBH, I still only play Mississippi Stud!

Best wishes for an amazing 2025!
