addedThis little number means that every hour, the visit rate for your boardwalk will go up by this amount. I've also added a button below on the inspection menu that will let you upgrade this by a bit.
changedOne of the big reasons I felt the need to do this, is because with the addition of sliders in the last update, the entertainment buildings needed a fourth stat that adjusts along with the others. Hopefully this will give players more freedom and flexibility in building their boardwalk.
changedUpdated Visit Rate Increase Mechanics from Entertainment Buildings
addedEntertainment buildings now have a visit rate increase amount. Every hour, the business will increase your boardwalk's visit rate by this amount.
changedThe business visit rate increase can be upgraded at the inspection menu, and is able to be modified by the businesses slider.

It's a big change to how visit rates work in the game, and we'll see how it goes. Let me know what you think about it.
