Hotel Architect News

[p]Hey Hoteliers,

Today's update brings a revamp to the Casino system from your feedback, increases guest alikelihood to visit casinos in Las Vegas, and adds a bunch of quality-of-life improvements to make your hotel empire even more dynamic and fun. Let’s dive in!
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Casino Zone Gets a Mini Makeover![/h2][p]We’ve seen your feedback on how casinos work and we've adjusted them to make them smoother to manage and more exciting to run:[/p]

• [p]Global Cash Reserve: Say goodbye to juggling separate reserves for each game. Now, all casino items share one global pot![/p]
• [p]Casino Overview Window: Manage your reserve and tweak bet sizes from one handy place.[/p]
• [p]Recommended Reserve Size: We’ll suggest how much cash you should keep on hand based on your zones setup. [/p]
• [p]Bet Range Tweaks: Guests bet ranges have changed slightly to fit with the rework.[/p]
• [p]Vegas Vibes: Guests in Las Vegas are now more likely to hit the casino floor compared to other locations.[/p]
• [p]Entertainment Boost: Casino time now counts toward your guests’ Entertainment score.[/p]
• [p]Slot Machine Edge: House edge increased from 7.5% to 12% - more realism and less volatility when it comes to reserves and payouts.[/p]
• [p]Upper Crust + Brat Guests: They’ve got standards - no more slots for them, only classy table games![/p]

New Features & Improvements[/h2]

• [p]New Decor: Add flair with the new fountain and Parisian entrance flower pots.[/p]
• [p]Attribute improvements: The caffeine addict, bar lover, and betting junkie affects are now increased to be more obvious![/p]
• [p]That pesky luxury corner shower that ignored the copy and paste tool is no longer, it is now a square shower![/p]
• [p]Added 100 new backpacker guests, so you can really build massive backpacker hotels 👀[/p]
• [p]The casino zone will no longer show no assigned staff when you create a zone with only slot machines and no tables.[/p]
• [p]Bartenders will now idle at the cash register and won't stand randomly in the middle of a room![/p]
• [p]Various stability fixes and minor tweaks to keep things running smoothly.[/p]

Thanks for building with us and make sure to let us know what you think!

[p]Pack your bags (literally), because things are about to get a whole lot more luxurious in Hotel Architect! On the Indie Fan Fest show last night, we revealed the first look at the bellhop and room service update coming to the game!

Check out the trailer here: [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]Bellhops & Bags[/h2][p]Guests will now arrive with their own luggage, and they’re not carrying it all the way to their rooms! Your bellhop staff will be on hand to whisk those bags away and deliver them straight to the guest’s room.[/p][p]Once inside, guests will use case stands to store their luggage neatly. It’s a small touch, but it makes your rooms feel more lived-in and realistic. Plus, who doesn’t love watching bellhops hustle around the lobby?
[/p][h2]Room Service, Please![/h2][p]Feeling fancy? Your guests are! With the new room service table, they’ll be able to request items directly to their rooms including champagne![/p][p]You’ll need to make sure your staff is ready to deliver quickly and efficiently, because happy guests mean great reviews (and more bookings!)

Plus more, but we're not revealing it all yet! We hope you're excited after watching the trailer, we know we are! [/p][p][/p][p]- The Hotel Architect Team[/p]
