ICE Poker Beta
ICE Poker sparked a new wave of interest in Decentral Games, skyrocketing our Discord member count from 7k during the launch to almost 11k at the time of writing. There are now 100-200 concurrent players in the ICE Poker DEXT Lounge 24 hours per day, 7 days per week spread across 2 Decentraland realms. Hop in here!
Additionally, there are 100s players waiting to receive delegation in the Decentral Games Discord. Once you mint an NFT this round, you may immediately find one in the ice-delegation channel.
ICE Poker NFT Mint #2: Party Host
We will conduct the 2nd ICE Poker NFT Mint this week, featuring Party Host:
The 5 ICE Poker Party Host NFTs have a 100 unit supply each:
Smoking Jacket
Smoking Pants

To qualify for the drop, you must have at least 1 DG staked in Decentral Games governance on Ethereum mainnet, and pay .25 ETH on Polygon. To move your ETH to Polygon WETH, you may use the Polygon bridge.
NFT NYC
The DG team attended NFT NYC, the world’s largest NFT conference, which drew in a total of 5,000 attendees this year, up from just 460 in 2019. 5 members from the DG team can be seen here posing in front of the Decentral Games ICE Poker ad on Times Square:
DG hosted an event with Polygon on Tuesday and a private event with the DG community on Wednesday. Thank you to everyone who came out!
Misc Dev Updates
Added additional indicators above the cards for Poker and Blackjack that will help out in case of an appearance of blank cards while playing the games:
ICE Poker should now be playable in third person mode! You should be able to click the buttons on the game menu like Fold, Call, Raise a bet, and change your bet to a custom value.
Fixed an issue where the link for populated servers on DEXT were linking to Tominoya instead.
Updated the "DG Venues" UI to now reflect DEXT link in game as well.
Fixed an issue where the "End of day" timer animation and "Thanks for playing" modals were out of sync.
Fixed an issue where users with all delegated wearables weren't recognized properly by the DEXT UI.
Made ICE Playable in the Tominoya casino and enabled the button to approve ICE play on the DG website:
Launched an improvement for tapping over tooltips on the clickable ICE UI, around player chips, expected earnings and challenges modal.
