  • The previously incorporated ‘payout’ option has been moved to the ‘prize server’ discussed in the PAY TO PLAY section.

  • Takes advantage of new scripting functions to reduce primcount (combining buttons into single prims).
  • Removed ‘dining table’ feature, as it added unnecessary prims and scripts, and most people somehow managed to trigger it accidentally and then IM me in a fit/panic instead of reading the instructions.

External API can be enabled/disabled independently of internal prize server features.
  • 5 new poses in each seat.
