According to sources speaking with ZDNet’s resident Microsoft blogger, Mary-Jo Foley, “the bulk of [Microsoft’s] immediate 1,400-person cuts” are going to fall on
the Entertainment & Devices Group. Which includes the Xbox team.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/microsoft-slashes-5-000-jobs-5136953 We were told the same thing earlier today, and when contacted Microsoft PR issued the following statement: “This is a company-wide
action, in which every division will be affected. We cannot share any other details at this time”.

includes Zune and Windows Mobile, so losses would presumably be [[link]] spread across all three. While we’re not [[link]] terribly interested in either of those, we are interested in potential cuts to the Xbox team, particularly since we’ve already seen two instances of that today in the sackings at Gamerscore and ACES.

We’ll no doubt here more in the coming days. Where are the Microsoft cuts falling? [ZDNet] [Image: (cc) JD Lasica/Socialmedia.biz ]

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
