As always, thanks to everyone who pitches in and helps when issues are uncovered.
With 69 games across multiple devices and platforms (68 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!

From a code perspective, this is a pretty minimal release. I mainly updated the supporting libraries that are used to display those annoying ads that popup after every 85 hands.
Changes:
-
BUG: the Game Stats in the Blackjack games was not properly tracking the historical total of refunded wagers from Pushes. This is fixed. I recommend resetting your game stats so that they will be more accurate going forward.
-
BUG: In cases where the Player opted to "Stand" on a Blackjack hand with a "soft" total, sometimes the hand total was not updated to reflect the highest point total. There was no impact on how hands were compared.
-
ENHANCEMENT: I've updated/streamlined some of the grammar in the "How to Play" for the Blackjack games.
-
ENHANCEMENT: I adjusted the vertical placement of the results messages for all of the Blackjack games because they were a bit "off" and triggering my ADHD. I won't bore you with how tedious the code is that handles that placement because it would be embarrassing. Suffice to say I have a backlog item to clean it up and make it more streamlined.
If you're interested, RBG now has a "Discord server". It was created with Matthew's help and the hope is that it can be come a chatroom of sorts for Players to interact with each other. An invitation link has been placed on the support site.
I'm working on a new game! It should be out shortly!
Please keep your ideas, suggestions, and requests coming. Also, please consider leaving a review if you haven't already. At last check, I'm only about 2 million reviews behind "Candy Crush"!
