Google Places SERP Showing Different Results – New Changes?

Late on April 16th and continuing on today, Google Places is showing a new display format on the SERP (search engine result page) for Places searches solely across all niches of businesses.

Here is a screenshot of how the Places SERP looked just yesterday.

You will notice at the bottom, you can see more than 1 page to the SERP.

Today, that same search returns this SERP.

If you scroll down to the bottom, you will see NO other organic rankings that lead to page 2 and 3 and so on.  It looks as though they have just vanished into thin air.

We do not currently know if it’s a bug or a new design. Personally, I think it’s just an error but time will tell.
