English term or phrase: same all round

"Dangerfield"

In a pub. Paige heads toward the table.
Lardner: Doc?
Paige: What will it be?
Lardner's mate: Pint of bitter, mate.
They all hold up their almost empty glasses.
Paige nods, pleased to be amongst them.
Paige: Same all round...

Does he mean 'nothing has changed' or is he going to buy them next beer?
