Today's MVP now sits in the banner where there is room: the player who held the most cabinets today.
A Ladders menu at the top right takes you to any game's ladder or the Hall of fame.

No game starts under its intro any more: the run waits until the intro has gone, plus a second to look.
After a loss the button says Try again, and names who you face next.
House players are easier to beat in the middle of the ladder; the top few are still hard.
