- The reroll price increase, which was previously a house edge feature, is now applied to the base game.
- The shop lock feature has been removed.
- A new feature has been added that allows you to choose the type of the next shop.

- Special pockets now appear in the special discount shop.
- Pocket packs are now available in the special discount shop.

[h3]Ball or Bets Adjustments:[/h3]

- Multi Ball price increased by 1 coin (6 > 7).
- Super Ball price decreased by 1 coin (6 > 5).
- Ice Ball price decreased by 1 coin (5 > 4).

[h3]Badge Adjustments:[/h3]

- Various new badges have been added!

[h3]Pocket Adjustments:[/h3]

- The Joker Pocket's multiplier reduction has been changed from 50% to 20%.

[h3]Class Adjustments:[/h3]

- Classes no longer have unique gold abilities, and as a result, the Trickster's ability to store round tokens has been removed. All classes now earn extra gold based on the number of leftover round tokens.
- While this patch reduces the distinctiveness of each class, we found that having different gold abilities was a major obstacle to adding new badges with diverse abilities. In the future, we plan to address this issue by adding badges that make class abilities more interesting.

[h3]Quest and Reward Adjustments:[/h3]

- Rainbow Token no longer changes the bet type, but only changes the Bet Ability.
- Pocket Fixer has been divided into five versions: straight, split, street, corner, and line. Each version is provided with the corresponding bet.
- Two new starting items have been added.
- The Stake Raise has been removed from the game and replaced with around 10 new badges that increase round tokens while imposing various penalties.

[h3]House Edge Adjustments:[/h3]

- The default house edge (Pizza) now starts with 0 points. The previous selection method was confusing, and adjustments have been made to fit with recent value changes. The increasing reroll price is no longer a house edge function but a base feature.
- In the default house edge (Pizza), the price of items increases gradually after purchasing 10 or more items.
- Zero Verde no longer starts with a 0 pocket in round 1-1. Although intended, it was simplified for clarity.
- Dwindling Rose no longer permanently weakens a token. Instead, one token is randomly selected at the start of the shop, and its value is reduced to 0.5x for the next round.
- Sealing Hipflask was highly frustrating when it didn't align with a player's strategy. With the removal of the shop lock, it had the potential to become even more frustrating, so its function has been changed to lock a token after it has interacted once.
- The three house edges related to RunStreak, previously at the bottom, have been removed. They didn't add gameplay interest and caused confusion. The WinStreak system will return in a different form later.
- Three new house edges have been added.
- Unlucky Martini’s value has been changed from 30 to 20.

- Fixed a bug where the Wood Puck could gain points when rolling the ball.
- Fixed a bug where Super Hero could trigger twice simultaneously.
