The largest part of this new update is the Bingo game system inside of the Goose Lodge. I really tried to capture the small town community Bingo hall in all of its "glory". Many people drive by Bingo halls on a daily basis and will never step foot into one of them. So now The Coin Game offers a way to fill your digital lungs with all that small town Bingo goodness. So get in there and grab an uncomfortable chair at a wobbly folding table and get to work!
After you insert your players card in the machine/table (next to purple mohawk Rhonda in the middle of the room) you can choose from 1-3 Bingo Cards. They are $2.50 per card/per game. As the Bingo caller calls out the randomly drawn numbers you must mark them on your bingo cards with a blue "dab" (or dot). If you match 5 in a row before all of the other bots, you win the whole pot. You can see the value of the game you are playing on the Goose Lodge wall monitor (see below images). 
The center spot of all cards is a free spot and will start each game as already "dabbed". You must have the called numbers "dabbed" (clicked showing a blue dot) on your bingo card for the "bingo" win to count. If the bingo is good and called before the other bots, the payout staff will come to your table and pay you out in cash. 
Throughout phase 1 there will be some dust and boxes laying around the Goose Lodge as Gary is still setting up his new business. No, not the adorable but annoying Swan-Goose Gary... the other Gary. What's that? You don't know Gary? Oh forgive me. Gary is the bot who's "head" glitters like a Bass boat and the one who still wears his bowling shirt and shoes from the 90's. He is the owner of the Goose Lodge and you will most likely find him in his "mini-casino" area just off the bingo gaming floor. A few years ago Gary bought a bunch of old slot machines from a swap meet and has been retro-fitting them to be able to played with your players club card. He will be testing and adjusting the machines all day and night until he gets it right. The guy is a psycho about numbers and providing a fun and fair experience to all his patrons. So give him a break if they need some adjustment later down the line. ;) He said they are just for charity and that he donates all the money to Rusting/Aging Bots in the community. The slots will pay out in cash right on you players card.
Over the past few months I have been building these new slot machines along side of updating the project to Unity 2022 game engine (more info on that later). They have really been a blast to make. I love the mechanics of slot machines and had ideas of adding them years ago but never got around to it as there is still so many arcade machines to add. I could not put them off anymore though as MANY players have been asking for them since day one. Thank you for being patient and I am glad to finally put in serious time and make them as good as I can for you. Let me know what you think of them. As someone who loves all things analog and tactile... I had to do old fashioned "reels" type slot machines. I love the clunk and noises of the turning wheels. It really can be a fun rush to hit a free spin bonus. 
The second slot machine is called Islandville Jackpots. It is a Free Spin bonus style slot machine. It is also a single payline machine. You can wager 1 or 2 credits. The object is to get as many Jackpot Logos as possible on the single payline. Payouts are on the top of both machines. If you hit all three of the bonus logos the machine will enter a bonus mode. After you match 3 bonus values of free spins the machine will enter auto mode and spin until all of your free spins are gone. Depending on the value that you matched you could 1x, 2x or even 3x your whole spin bonus! Remember. Gary said that these are just for fun and charity to fix the pot holes around Islandville and stuff. Also, there are no leaderboards or tickets dispensed from the slot machines.
The third machine in the Goose Lodge that I have added is a Quick Ripps lotto dispenser. It sells small lotto cards that are inspired by the Pull Tabs you can find in many Bingo halls around the US. I thought they were a great addition to the "small town casino" style theme that I have built into the Goose Lodge. You basically pick the value of the Ripper that you want and buy them. Rip the covers off the values and hopefully reveal a winner. They are pretty simple but a ton of fun to rip. 
If you get hungry in the Goose Lodge there is always popcorn and snacks available 24/7. The Lodge never closes, so feel free to drop in and try your luck anytime of the day or night!
That about does it for this content update. Thank you VERY MUCH for supporting The Coin Game. It has been almost 6 years since launching this goofy idea and I am forever grateful that I get the privilege to work on this title for you.
The Coin Game is an arcade life simulation set in Islandville, where you are the lone human resident surrounded by robots. Enjoy over 50 arcade games, without the added stress of waiting in line! Choose from either Birthday Mode, where you can play as much as you want with unlimited money, or Survival Mode, where you’ll need to pick up jobs around town to afford your arcade habit, while eating an insane amount of junk food to survive. 
Quick Dev Update for the Goose Lodge Bingo Hall. 
So... The next content update will focus on the inside of the Islandville Goose Lodge. It will include a complete Bingo Gaming hall where you can compete against the local Islandville Bots in a "professional" Bingo game. Keep track of your numbers called with an "ink dabber" and then scream BINGO when you have a row of 5 Dabs. It sounds pretty simple... but can get crazy fast. Stay focused and get lucky and you can walk away with some nice loot. 
You will be able to play with multiple cards and have to be patient to beat the bots. I mean.. they are robots after all. I am working on a couple more small surprise machines in the Goose Lodge as well but we will have to wait to find out what those are. ;)
As I have said before I can't rush this process of upgrading the source project files. It must be done. The end quality of the game is just as important as adding shiny new features. So THANK YOU for being patient with me and my new team as we go back and fix dumb mistakes I made years ago building it.
The Coin Game is an arcade life simulation where you are the lone human resident. With over 50 arcade games to choose from and no line to wait in, you’ll soon become an arcade master!

I had a chat with Jerry Bot while filling up the family van last week and he said he told all the bots around Islandville that we needed to up the "festive cheer" this year. He said he cant be the only one who loves the holidays and they all agreed. So Jerry, Barry and the worker bots went crazy last week and decorated the whole island. True story. 
I always loved small town pole decorations and also when businesses would put a huge Santa sleigh on the roof. The cheesier the better. I had to throw in a couple of those.
Barry organized all the Main Street lights that are overhead, and also went a little overboard on his pawn building. He loves this time of year.
Everyone has that one neighbor that just LOVES this time of the year. Haha. 
So thats about it. Just some fun ambiance for the holiday season. Take a cruise in the Mini Van and enjoy the smooth Christmas tunes on the radio (R Key) while you take in the islands decorations. This update is just for fun and will be temporary for the holiday season. After this I will be working on the next location (Goose Lodge) and I will also be working with the new coding team to bring The Coin Game into a newer version of Unity. It's going to be a LOT of work but the game deserves it!

Update #029 
- Nanny Bot is now programmable just like Stinky Jimmy the Junkman and Skippy the Scout newspaper bot. If you are playing survivor mode, the old bucket of bolts can be programmed to go shopping for you and Gary. You must have $20.00 in your ICU Savings account for the program to work. If you have the money, click on her yellow button on her back and she will "open up" with a key pad. Then you can enter the 4 digit code into the key pad and she will deliver the goods to your kitchen counter. She is not the fastest but she gets great deals from Jerry on items as they come from the same bot manufacturing plant. She will probably complain a little but she just doesn't like to be away from her Gary. If you program her and then go to sleep in survivor mode, she will have your goodies in the morning on the table. Remember that to program a "programmable" bot you simply click the back round yellow button on them and then click the key pad when it rotates out. Then you can enter the 4 digit code. It will give an error if you don't have the money in your savings or the code is entered wrong. The programmable bots rear LED will be green when in "default" mode and Nanny Bot will be purple when she is doing a job or in "program" mode. You can cancel a program with code 0000. I don't know why you would do that but I coded it in. lol. Just in case. 
- I added a Used Family Mini Van for sale in Jerry's parking lot. $1800 is a steal for a unit like this. It's a little faster to travel around Islandville. It also has a few planned features which are not yet finished. The van will make cruising with friends possible in Multiplayer someday but for now it is just another option to cruise around with. It takes a little more gas but it is much faster than the bike or the golf kart. Make sure to check the gas gauge when you buy it... Jerry has been known to sell cars with little to no gas in them. 
- There is a radio in the Van (R key) or (Left D Pad) on controller to turn it on or off. For now, it's really simple and has no other features yet. It just plays the local radio and if you turn the radio on and off it will skip to the next song.
- New PAY LOAD Coin Dump game at the Mall Arcade. One of my favorite games in the real world. Inspired by the classic coin ramp game "Big Rig Truckin". Line up the ramp and time it just right to win big tickets. Get it in the bucket... 10 tickets. Hit the dump lever or through the bonus hoops and win BIG on just a single $1. 
- I added a shady "Shell Game" behind Barry's pawn shop. Who doesn't love a good street artist? Well I guess you could call it that. When the limo driver is not dragging Islandville brats around the town, he is making a little extra money behind Barry's pawn shop. You can wager some cash and if you pick the correct cup after he shuffles them up you will win double your money back. Make sure to keep your eye on the red ball... but it's kind of impossible as he is a robot and is faster than you think. Good luck. You are going to need it. Make sure to keep your head on a swivel so you don't get beat up by the bad bots while you are on their turf. Oh I almost forgot. For you big gamblers...you can also go ALL IN and risk it all for the ultimate double up. Make sure to have some back up cheesy poofs to get home though if things don't work out. 
- Added more "construction" zones to the island to show some of the future building sites. The bots are always working in the background.
- Fixed the bug where the bike would disappear when you went into a building or when you left it under the awning at Jerrys Gas and Go. Bike is now "frozen" when you go inside any building.
