  • Arcade games now support per player control settings, such as vibration, inverted aim and sensitivity

Some of the many bug fixes added with the update include a fix where Pagies would not be saved if the player exchanged Casino Tokens and then closed the game, a fix for a geometry gap in Capital Cashino which the player could fall through, and a fix for the issue where the Super Sized or Sssmashing Trophies/Achievements wouldn’t unlock. If you’re playing on PS4, Playtonic notes that, “due to platform policy, those affected by this issue on PS4 will NOT have any missing Trophies automatically awarded, without starting a new game.”
