⭐ Highlights

• Mixed Game Tournaments – Fairer Final Tables
  We’ve improved how mixed game tournaments play out:

  • Tables now start on a random variant instead of always beginning with the same game.

  • Final tables dynamically adjust rounds when an extra player is present, then revert once balanced.

  This makes gameplay less predictable and more fair, especially at the final table.

• Tournament Ranking List – “See Yourself” UX Improvement

  • Easily locate yourself in the rankings without scrolling through the entire leaderboard.

  • Your sticky row appears at the bottom of the table when you are not currently visible in line.

  • Tap your sticky row to jump to the correct page and position where you will be shown in line.

• Rebuy Flow Fixes

  • Rebuy is now much more reliable and frustration-free. You can no longer trigger duplicate rebuys while a transaction is pending

  • If you rebuy while busted, you’ll automatically be sat back in

  • Trying to sit back with 0 chips now correctly opens the buy-in flow

  • Sit-out timers are cancelled once your rebuy is confirmed. This should eliminate missed hands and inconsistent table states.

✨ Improvements

• 5-Second Delay Reduced from Stud Hands in Mix Games
  A short delay has been reduced before each Stud hand to improve pacing and ensure smoother game transitions.

• Mobile Chat Enhancements

  Added Chat icon to the table. Sending a message on mobile automatically closes the chat window. Added a new Sound effect for chat message arrival.

• Tournament info page optimization
  Reduced background requests when players register or are eliminated, resulting in faster and more stable tournament pages.

• Reduced Redis Pub/Sub bandwidth usage
  Backend optimizations to prevent throttling and improve platform responsiveness.

• Client update behaviour improved
  Tables will now reload between hands when a new version is available, preventing unnecessary refreshes during gameplay. Players will be shown a toast mid hand, warning the player that the table will automatically update at the end of the current hand in progress.

• Improved system stability with better event loop monitoring.

• Reduced tournament polling for smoother performance.

• Unified API + WebSocket routing through CloudFront for better reliability.

• More robust handling of public lobby table data.
