I have a few questions regarding the demo...

1. When you are trying to set the betting amount, etc. of slots/tables, is there a way of selecting a row or group of slots/tables? I can set the house/betting amounts on individual slots, but I want to try to make changes on a group of slots/tables. I tried a few key combos but I didn't find it.

2. Does the demo have more themes, buildings, etc. I saw on a screenshot a picture of a building that looked a lot like a rollercoaster. Are these things I will find with the full version? What else is different besides limited scenarios/no sandbox/greyed out config options?

3. If you build a maintenance building on my lot and then something inside a casino needs repaired, will a maintenance person come into the casio from outside (lot)? Or do I have to add a maintenance building inside the casino?

Again, great job! Just have to wait for it to show up in the US. I guess the demo will have to do for now!!

Hi Quantu5, thanks again for the commnets.

ok answers to your question

1) Sadly no there isn't this feature available right now. It's something that's pencilled in on the wishlist and if we get the opportunity to add it in we will certainly do so. This is in addition to a 'move' function which i personally would like to see added.

2) The demo currently only has 2 available themes for the user to build with, dice n cards and greece. The full game comes with 10 themes. You should actually have most of the buildings available for those 2 themes, most of them can be unlocked by progressing through the correct upgrade path.

3) No outside and inside are essentially separate to try and maintain some kind of 'order' with whats going on. You will need to build handymen inside for them to repair the interior buildings. Also note that you use a cashiers assistant to repair slot machines. You can currently find out who needs to repair what by looking at the tooltip over the spanner icon on the interface.

Ropes,

Adding the group select (and move feature like you mentioned) would be a great addition to an update. Just hope you guys have the ability to make these changes and other updates! I guess like any game, updates are all based on popularity and sales of the game.

Your one answer to my question brings up another question. Is there any type of document or website that has the upgrade tree/path for the game? In other workes, to build buiding XYZ, what do you have to do before you have access to that building. If there isn't, do you have any information that I could use to create such a document or site?

Hmmm....maybe I could work on a fansite!

Yes there is an internal document here that discusses the upgrade path/tree however it wouldn't be suitable to share it up as it stands. - Currently the only way to find out what needs what is to use the upgrade panel in the game which comes up automatically when you highlight an object in the building panel.

The yellow text describes the main building thats needed, the cyan text described the upgrade by that building thats needed..

i.e. a building may need the headoffice with entertainments division

so on the upgrade panel you see

Head office (yellow)
Entertainments Division (cyan)

and to add to the confusion a little, some upgrades need upgrades aswell and again the same system is employed in the red upgrade panel.

I'll try and collate some info together but if u have any questions on it just fire away and i'll try and get them answered.

As for a fansite, i believe there is a 135Mb fansite kit ready for download on this website, i haven't tried it yet thought.

regards
