SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2026 / Americas Cardroom has released a wide-ranging software update that expands player customization, adds a new multi-day bounty tournament format, extends Staking Tickets to SPINZ and brings its refreshed mobile-table design to more game types.

The Emoji Gallery now gives players a choice between Mild (PG) and Wild (R) collections. Wild adds more aggressive reactions and throwables, while Mild preserves the familiar presentation. Each player's selection controls what appears in that player's own client, meaning the same reaction can display differently for players using different settings. Players who do not want emojis can disable them under Settings > Playing Experience > Gameplay.

The release also introduces Progressive Mystery Bounty tournaments. The format combines randomly assigned mystery bounties with progressive knockout mechanics, but bounty play remains locked throughout Day 1. Once all opening flights are complete, the bounty pool is randomly distributed across players who advance to Day 2.

When Day 2 eliminations begin, half of an eliminated player's bounty is paid immediately to the player making the elimination and the other half is added to that player's own bounty. Progressive Mystery Bounty events are listed under the Mystery Bounty category in the lobby filters, where individual tournament lobbies provide the schedule, buy-in and structure.

Staking Tickets, which remain in beta, now support SPINZ at all seven buy-in levels: $0.25, $1, $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100. Eligible backers can choose a ticket, set the staker percentage and send an offer that expires after 30 days by default. Payouts are divided according to the agreed percentage. Purchasing and sending are currently available to select users, while anyone can receive tickets.

On mobile, the refreshed SPINZ table design now extends to cash games, Blitz, tournaments, Sit & Go's, On Demand games and multi-day tournaments. A lobby overlay group can also flag selected events where current entries may not cover the advertised guarantee. Two fixes address displayed information in certain multi-player all-in hand histories and guaranteed multi-day tournament prize-pool totals.

Players can review the new emoji controls in the Emoji Gallery, locate Progressive Mystery Bounty events through the Mystery Bounty filter and check the client for current availability of Staking Tickets and other updated features.
