New Casino main menu

The main navigation now contains Casino, divided into four sections.

• Quality caps at 20; Fortune Blessing caps at 25%.
• A loss permanently destroys the selected item.
• A dedicated confirmation screen warns about permanent loss.

Blackjack

• Complete single-player Blackjack table using in-game Gold.
• Standard card values and soft Aces.
• Dealer draws below 17.

• Active rounds and completed results persist correctly.

Night Heist

Sewer Fishing

• Passive three-minute cast.
• Resolves during play, after reload or after returning from a background tab.
• Rewards crafting materials, junk or a sunken war chest with equipment.

Marketplace Haggling

• Offer slider ranges from 40% to 100% of the asking price.

• Sweet-spot offers save the most intended Gold and improve reputation.

• Three ordinary rejections cause the merchant to withdraw the offer.

Safety and persistence

• Fortune Systems Version 1 added.
• Save Schema remains 38.
• Historical browser save key remains unchanged.
• Active Blackjack rounds, heists, sewer timers and trader lockouts survive save roundtrips.
• Casino and haggling counters appear in Support & Diagnostics.
• Item Fortune Blessing is normalized to 0–25% and included in functional stat calculations.
• Casino mechanics use only local in-game Gold and items; no real-money functionality exists.

Browser QA fixes found during development

• Completed Blackjack outcomes now retain win, lose or push after normalization.
• Haggling lockouts now modify the authoritative state object instead of a detached normalized snapshot.
