Casino (w/ 10 player poker)

[Andrew Green]

The Gameroom is the follow up to this, and expands on its features. This mod will no longer be supported, Gameroom is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=219483

This is a casino addition for vBulletin, so far containing video poker, blackjack, Slots, a lottery, Let 'em Ride, Roulette and a betting pool.

It can use it's own cash as well as cash fields from other products for easy integration. Cash bonuses are also awarded for various actions (posting, starting threads, etc.), you can alter the bonus values through the admincp.

Each of the 10 games can be turned on or off through the control panel, and the casino can be restricted by user group.

I'd consider this a test run, everything should work, but some of the template's and all of the phrasing are not done yet.

Screenshots are attached.

If you want to see a demo, it's live at http://vbgaming.org, it does require registration though as it needs a userid to attach your money too ;) Bug reports and requests can also be posted there, and will probably have less chance of getting buried in this rather massive thread. If you are having a problem, please look there. If it is one that others have been having, there will likely be a solution there (as well as in this thread, just harder to find here)

v 0.90 (Jan 6)
- Fixed a bug in lottery odds calculation that was casuing problems with the jackpot.
- Completed Phrasing of all games & admincp
- Removed card flicker some people experienced in Texas Hold'em
- Removed unused table limit setting from Video Poker settings
- Handled a DB error that occasionally came out of the slots game
- Sports Pool groups are now edited through the game, not the admincp
- Blackjack: Dealer checks for blackjack on A or 10
- Blackjack: Added Five card charlie rule
- Texas Hold'em: poker mod groups can now use the command "/kick username" to kick people out of the game. If a hand is in progress it counts as a forced fold, not returning their share of the pot.
- Blackjack - Fixed bug on bet amount when splitting more then once on a hand

v 0.91 (Jan 13)
- Added missing field for holdem mod groups to settings table
- Removed 0.90 test code of drawin same numbers in lottery
- Piped all the ajax files through casino.php, this should solve some of the conflicts people where having (ex. mkportal)
- Added missing link to add / edit groups in sports pool
- Fixed extra \'s in chatbox some users where getting
- Added a reset cash button in the ACP
- Fixed a bug where the blackjack_dealt table wasn't getting cleared properly
- Fixed "Most Lost" stat calculation


v 0.92 (Feb 18)
- Fixed Default Cash not saving
- Texas Hold'em no longer shows hand after folding
- Texas Hold'em buttons should not reappear after clicking if a request was in progress when they where clicked
- Fixed some of the reinstall issues people have been having

This is pretty minor, working on some major changes to the Texas Hold'em game that are taking longer then I planned due to other things coming up.

Known issues:
- The same player attempting to play more then one instance of the same game at the same time will cause errors.

To update overwrite all of the old files and import the product, revert any modified (casino) templates and don't forget the files in other folders ;) Also some of the images have changed, those need uploaded again. (as well as the includes and admincp files) You DO NOT need to uninstall the previous version to upgrade, this will cause problems. Just overwrite existing files and import the product again, allowing overwrite.

**Make sure you overwrite ALL existing files and revert ALL casino templates**

I plan on getting a multiplayer poker game in there, but don't ask for a timeline ;)

[Masiello]

Oh great! waiting for a stable version!
Multiplayer is awesome!

[SuperTaz]

I will wait for a more stable version to add to my gaming site.

[iogames]

I plan on getting a multiplayer poker game in there, but don't ask for a timeline ;)

I won't ask if you tell me when :P

[Kaleem]

clicking install to get future updates will watch it :)

[stangger5]

Has anyone got this install ??

I get the first page working fine but when you try to play a game,,,I get red X`s and a box that just says loading...

[Andrew Green]

Do you have javascript enabled?

and does it happen on all 4?

[stangger5]

Yes for both...

[Andrew Green]

Yes for both...

Do other AJAX features work for you?

[stangger5]

Yes..

[Andrew Green]

Something is conflicting with the code amber banner. Sticking that on my site broke it there as well...

[stangger5]

I just took everything out of the footer template...It didnt help...

If you look on thefulcrumpoint.org and the disturbed_x skin,,you`ll see what i`m talking about...
I have it set for non registered members can see...

[stangger5]

The first page is fine...click on Video Poker and see what happens...Look at the links in the Nav bar after that....it puts casino in front of everything...

[Andrew Green]

Skin looks like it is the problem, you got header info going in twice. On line 489 of the source you got this:


<html dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Homepage </title>


and it starts over again with the header info.

[stangger5]

I`m trying it on anther skin without anything in the footer...Still get the same thing..
I`ve tried disabling different plugins hopeing it was one of them,,no help yet..

[kylek]

Just installed to 3.6.8 and set for vbcredits. The main casino.php page shows but when you click on a game it just says loading.

[QsKGlobal.com]

I'm very interested in this hack, clicked install, now lets see a stable version!

[trackpads]

Installed but how comes there is blackjack in the demo screenshots but not in the game?

[trackpads]

Never mind, I had the other casino installed, now installing this one :)

[Andrew Green]

Found the problem with it not loading, I have some paths hardcoded into templates that I forgot I changed, vbulletin doesn't really care for having things outside of the main forum folder.

Temporary fix:

in headinclude:

change
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>


to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>


replacing "/forum/" with whatever folder your forum is in.

[kylek]

That fixed it for me, the only thing I cant seem to show is the lottery, playing with the settings right now. Looks good though.

[stangger5]

My forum and everything is in the root folder...I renamed the index.php file to forum.php..
Theres no forum folder..

[Andrew Green]

My forum and everything is in the root folder...I renamed the index.php file to forum.php..

Other than the lottery problem, this is cool, members are going to love this!!

Where do you change the percentages for the lottery? If you have it set for 3 balls right now it looks like 3/3 gets 50 %, 2/3 gets 50% and 1/3 gets 0

those percentages are misleading, that's not 50 percent of the pot, it also takes odds into account on that. It's more of a internal modification thing to keep the payout balanced that probably shouldn't be shown outside of testing purposes.

The Minimum payout is a better number to look at. But basically you have odds x percent = payout. In the end it should work out to about 100% payout overtime regardless of what numbers you put in for # of balls and range on them.

[stangger5]

then just add a "/" in front ;)

That fixed the loading problem...I still see a few red X`s...

[stangger5]

I tried to uninstall it so I could try to install it again...See if something got messed up on the install...
When uninstalling...I get a data base error...

Did you adjust the "headinclude" as shown in the 1st post?

[Andrew Green]

Will try to do a update with all things that have come up so far fixed.
- Lottery not loading the first draw
- messing up paths to vb files / images from being in a separate folder
- SQL error on uninstall.

Anyone getting anything else?

old version of that line, did you update first then try and uninstall? If not try that as that line in the uninstall code should be changed, if not you can manually change the uninstall code for the product, first line to:

$query = "ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX . "user DROP COLUMN 'casino_cash'";

basically adding "COLUMN" in there.

[stangger5]

Everything is working great now and on all skins !!!!

Thanks Andrew !!!!

[kylek]

Just did two fresh installs of Casino 0.11 on two different sites and both went well with no problems. Lottery looks good, able to buy tickets.

Only thing I can see right now is that it names the casino - Innovative Martial Arts Casino. Will have to search to see where it can be changed.

A question - When setting up first draw in Lottery the jackpot had a number already set, I think in one site it was $24320.00 Is this resettable? It would be nice if we could have a set amount to start out with.

A suggestion or two - instead of showing richest users top 10 could it maybe just show the top 10 members who have made the most in the casino? Have it separate from total points (use vbcredits which has option to keep amounts private) as some members do not like others seeing how much they have.

And the possibility of adding a $25 or $50 token for the big spenders. So poker and blackjack would have $1, $5, $10, and $25 or $50.00

[stangger5]

To edit the Casino name...Look in the casino_index_main template...

kylek,,,We must be thinking a like....I`ve allready add a $25 and $50 token...lol..

[acegames]

Just installed but now my site wont load due to a database error ???

[stangger5]

What kind of error ??

If you cant get rid of the error..

Go into your ftp: includes/config.php and put this at the top,, right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

[acegames]

It was just a database error , I restarted my mysql services and its fine now , thankyou

Now im going to try this casino :)

[acegames]

Working great here :)

How do I set it up to use vcash ?

[Andrew Green]

as in vbookie_cash?

in the setup change the cash field to "vbookie_cash"

[Andrew Green]

I'll track that down and fix it for the next update, thought I'd go all of them.


A question - When setting up first draw in Lottery the jackpot had a number already set, I think in one site it was $24320.00 Is this resettable? It would be nice if we could have a set amount to start out with.


Draw amount is based off of the range and number of balls and price, it's setup to calculate a jackpot that will maintain about 100% win, and increases over time until it's won. I could add a option to manually edit it though.


A suggestion or two - instead of showing richest users top 10 could it maybe just show the top 10 members who have made the most in the casino? Have it separate from total points (use vbcredits which has option to keep amounts private) as some members do not like others seeing how much they have.


Yes, it does track a number of stats that aren't being used for anything yet, so in later versions there should be more available.


And the possibility of adding a $25 or $50 token for the big spenders. So poker and blackjack would have $1, $5, $10, and $25 or $50.00

Yes, it's in the plans, as well as a switch to allow each amount in the admincp.

[Andrew Green]

The update to .11 should fix that. You can also manually fix the uninstall code:

Change the uninstall code for the product, first line to:

$query = "ALTER TABLE ". TABLE_PREFIX . "user DROP COLUMN 'casino_cash'";

Adding "COLUMN" in between "DROP" and "'casino_cash'"

[acegames]

as in vbookie_cash?

in the setup change the cash field to "vbookie_cash"


Perfect thankyou :)

[ChU v2]

Looks good, I'll be watching this mod for a texas hold em integration and multiplayer will be great.

[ArchangelX]

Anyway to integrate this with the other casino mod available? Thanks!

And will this work on 3.5? Thanks again!

[Andrew Green]

Anyway to integrate this with the other casino mod available? Thanks!


I'm not sure which other casino mod you mean, but I imagine that they would have no problem sharing the same cash. In the admincp you can set the name of the cash field to match the one the other casino uses.


And will this work on 3.5? Thanks again!

I see no reason why it shouldn't, but haven't actually tried it.

[ArchangelX]

Thanks for the quick response!

It's here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=158139

It's been out for a while now...and has been constantly updated for each new version of VB. One of the oldest hacks, I believe.

I'll try it out...unfortunately, I'll have to change the casino.php file's name. Thanks!

[Andrew Green]

Might be trickier then it sounds, all of the links go through "casino.php", so changing it without also changing any reference to it in the templates and files will break it. Which of course would need to be done again with every update...

[stangger5]

I have them both installed with no problems...

Casino for vBulletin uses casino.php
and
vbcasino uses lottery.php

[ArchangelX]

Shouldn't be too hard with a complete Find/Replace command for all the calls to casino.php.

I already have a lottery system installed, so when I installed the first vBCasino, I had to change all the instances of lottery.php to casino.php. I'll have to do the same here in order to use it.

But great addition! Kudos for the work on it!

[Mark.B]

This is excellent....

Only thing I've spotted is that all the templates are uncached.

[aztecboi2003]

Anyway to make this a little easier for novices to install? I haven't tried it but it looks complex.

[Mark.B]

In template casino_error, the conditional:
<if condition="$nomoneyslot">
should be....
<if condition="$slotnomoney">

[Mark.B]

Anyway to make this a little easier for novices to install? I haven't tried it but it looks complex.
It isn't...it's as easy as any other modification. Import the product, upload the files and make a couple of easy template edits.

[ArchangelX]

It was a pretty painless install...really easy. Just import the product. If you already have a cash mod in, you don't even have to edit the templates.

Anyways, I believe there's a bug in the Blackjack program. When you split it...the totals don't come out ahead. As soon as you split, you're refunded 10 (if you do a 10 token)...which is a little weird. Might want to take a look at that again!

Instead of taking away another 10 for the split, it gives you 10.

[Mark.B]

It would be handy to specify the time of lottery draws...I'm in the UK so the lottery draw seems to be at 3am!

[Andrew Green]

Well, not yet. It's a labelled .11 for a reason, I still have a lot of features I need to add in. SOme small things like that, others fairly big things (other games)

Hadn't noticed that, thanks :)

WOW, this is so fantastic, I am going to watch the progress like an eagle, as this is something that I have always wanted

Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us.

+1 for multiplayer :D

Did you upload the casino.php file ??

Theres three folders (admincp,,casino,,includes) and the casino.php to upload...

You can use that to check whether or not the table exists, if not or you're still not sure what I meant I can send you a updated copy of the file that won't fix the problem, but should at least be more descriptive on what the problem is :)

The "main" templates start with

This should actually be:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
It seems to cause some issues with styles otherwise.

[Devil Woman]

This may sound daft but how do I get this to work with vbcredits?

I have searched but can't find the setting to add to make it work with vbcredits.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Andrew Green]

In the admincp you can set the field that it uses for cash. By default this is "casino_credits" but can be changed, just change it to what vbcredits uses. (vbcredits maybe? I don't use it so thats just a guess)

[nickster]

At the top of my page it says

That's a strange one, I'll register on your site tonight and poke around in it, and see what global.php might be trying to do at that point, My guess is it's conflicting with something else in there.

I see to <body> tags on that page, which should not be happening, so something is going funny somewhere in there.

line 186-8 reads:


There is a little error in there

This:

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

should be this:

while($row=$db->fetch_array($result)) {

Which might solve that, otherwise I have to do a little more digging into it.

[sandt38]

Yeah Andrew, that worked. I also wound up with an unexpected error in line 152 after resolving the error in line 151 which was easily remedied by removing the first "&" in the line (line 152 I mean). But everything looks good right now.

It was:
while($row=$db->fetch_array($result)) {
&nbsp;$f[$i] = $row['card'] % 13;

But the repaired code is:
while($row=$db->fetch_array($result)) {
nbsp;$f[$i] = $row['card'] % 13;

Works great too, in my first hand I got a full house, Jacks over 7s.

[sandt38]

Also, it would be great if we could add some larger chip denominations. maybe 50s, 100s, 500s, and 1000s. I do have a lot of bettors on my board, and they rake in the cash on my bookie.

They are dying for a multiplayer poker too... in house tourneys would be awesome. I know it is in the works, I just wanted you to know how much I, and my board, are anticipating it.

[Andrew Green]

Higher chip amounts is on the to do list for this weekend.

[Vi3t4Lov3]

how can I increase the bet money 1,5,10 too small
can you change to 10,50,100 or 100,500,1000 please thank you

Blackjack allows you double down after you have already received a card and you can also hit even if you have 21.....

[Andrew Green]

double down rules vary, I choose to allow it at any time. Any number of cards, any total, and after splits. Splitting can be done more then once as well.

[Mark.B]

In IE the Javascript that displays your tickets from a previous draw doesn't work...it's got a yellow exclamation mark in the browser and clicking the link on the date of the draw does nothing. Seems to work in FF though.

YES, it is.

Each time I find something I just throw it into the thread.

not at all, I can't fix things if I don't know about them :)

Bug reports are always helpful, this is my first attempt at doing anything using the VB product system / api, so I'm still learning as I go :D

[sandt38]

is this compatible with vB credits?

In the setup change the cash field to credits. Even if you have renamed your cash, just change it to credits. I use both on my board and they work great together.

[evesve]

This is a great mod!

Some small questions in Black Jack and Video Poker.
Can you make it to show points after each card (BJ)?
Can you make the cards 25% smaller?(BJ and VP, Maybe a option to show diffrent size??)
How can I manually give members "money"?
How can I change from 500 to ??? from start?
I would give members diffrent value depends on the membergroup.
I have it as a test now, how can I reset the points to default?

[Andrew Green]

Probably, it is calculated, just not displayed. So it shouldn't be hard.


Can you make the cards 25% smaller?(BJ and VP, Maybe a option to show diffrent size??)

Once again, not much of a problem, just involves resizing the image files. Something I plan to seperate in a seperate file with the next update for ease of downloading. No need to redownload all the images every time.


How can I manually give members "money"?

Admincp, user profile. It's at the bottom of the first column.


How can I change from 500 to ??? from start?


A reset everyone to ___ will sneak in there soon, you could manually update it through phpmyadmin or some other mysql interface if you really needed to:

UPDATE ___user SET casino_cash = ____;

just add your table prefix and the amount you want to change it to in there.


I would give members diffrent value depends on the membergroup.


Hadn't really planned that one, I'll definitely consider adding a option to give extra to everyone in a user group. Maybe as a monthly allowance for certain groups? (ex. supporting members)



I have it as a test now, how can I reset the points to default?

SQL query above for now, in admincp in the near future.

[Mark.B]

A question I'm getting asked quite a lot by members relates to the sports betting feature.

People want to know what the odds are, what they will win, etc etc, and I'm afraid I haven't managed to work that out yet.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I added a more detailed description to the initial post, hopefully that helps. Basically its a pool, everyone puts there money in, and the winners divide the pot based on the portion they put in on the winning outcome. Putting in 15, when 100 had been bet in total on the winner gives you 15% of the total bet on all possible outcomes.

[evesve]

SQL query:

UPDATE vb3_user SET casino_cash = 1000


UPDATE vb3_user SET casino_cash = 1000 where usergroupid = 6

works fine!!!

Thanks...I have actually added most of that to the Sports Pool template so people know what's going on...as per screenshot below. Hope that's ok.

[Andrew Green]

not a problem at all, I might even steal the idea and add a explanation to the template as well ;)

[Robp57]

Good Job Andy............My staff and members wont leave me alone with questions.......
Looking forward to your updates......
Works fine and they all love it.....
Thanx

[Andrew Green]

.12 should clean up a few little things and add some of the requested options.

[stangger5]

The cards reduced.zip still look like there are 150X215...

[Andrew Green]

and so they do... uploaded the wrong folder :D

Fixed it though ;)

[Greek Wizard]

This is a great mod, nice to see another Canadian make it too.

thanks.

However one bug report.

in blackjack, when the dealer has two cards in the begining, one is hidden and one is shown, BUT the total is shown for both cards (thus making the hidden card known)

I have attached an image.

Also, it works fine with vbbux (gasp, yes I am still using it), however when it comes up it has 4 decimal points, while the rest of my site only uses two. Alos, I am not sure how it is sorting the top 10, but it's not by value, seems to be user_id.

Would like to see a roulette (maybe from the other less polished casino), and some other games if possible, but IMO you are off to an awesome start.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/02/1.gif

[Globe]

YES, it is.

:) ok THX i tested :)

[dyna88]

double down rules vary, I choose to allow it at any time. Any number of cards, any total, and after splits. Splitting can be done more then once as well.

Could there be options added to not allow this?

[Robp57]

Hey Dyna.........
It is also a big problem with Blackjack and seeing the card total when the game starts....
You know how much the dealer has, but can only see the one card.....
Can you disable the point count untill you stay?
Love the upgrades too.....
But you should let all know which files need to be uploaded and which ones dont.....just to upgrade.....
I am very pleased with this and will continue to use.......Good Job

Now if we only had multiplayer......lol

[Andrew Green]

Blackjack showing the dealers hand is fixed, if you've installed between the update and this post replace the existing 'blackjack_deal.php' file with the new one attached to the main post.

[Andrew Green]

Could there be options added to not allow this?

Certainly possible, does anyone else want this?

I'm thinking 3 switches.
DD after split yes/no
DD with any number of cards yes/no
DD with any value (rather then just 10 & 11) yes/no

[Andrew Green]

Also, it works fine with vbbux (gasp, yes I am still using it), however when it comes up it has 4 decimal points, while the rest of my site only uses two. Alos, I am not sure how it is sorting the top 10, but it's not by value, seems to be user_id.


It was designed with integers as the cash value in mind, if vbux is the only one that uses a decimal it shouldn't be hard to add a few "round()" functions anywhere things get displayed, however bets will still only work in whole numbers. (ie you can't bet $1.50 in the sportspool)

I'll look into it though.

More games will come ;)

[Mark.B]

...

[Andrew Green]

did you make any template changes to the old version before updating? If so revert them, sounds like that is the problem. (casino templates, not any templates in there ;))

[Mark.B]

Looks like it might be that...I reverted the wrong one.....it's the _intro ones that need reverting. I only did the _main.

Thanks.

[Greek76]

Will this work with vbplaza?

[Andrew Green]

Will this work with vbplaza?

Yes, it will work with any cash field that is in the user table. You just have to set it in the admincp.

[Jason Black]

where does the casino.php file go?

[Andrew Green]

main forum folder, same place as "index.php"

if it's the site in your sigline: http://www.rapfeinds.com/casino.php

[EmpireZ]

Great Job Andrew.

One thing is that when members buy a lottery ticket, they don't have a way of getting back to the casino homepage. The navbar breadcrumb is forum and then under is blackjack, while they are in the lottery. Im using version 12.
Thanks !!

[Andrew Green]

Added to the list of things for the next update, which will be bigger and include a slots game as well as a few other configuration options :)

[EmpireZ]

Thanks.

I didn't have a navbar link either, maybe that had something to do with it. :p

[Cigarcritic]

Works great in 3.6.8!

The ticket price in the Lotto does not update. It's hung on $2.

Can we get a setting for the numbers that can be selected? I'd like to see "0"-"9" for a Pick Three, and the same for the number of balls. In Texas we have Pick Three, Just pick three numbers from "0" to "9". Better odds for a small group.

And a setting for how many ticket a User can buy per lottery. At $2 to $10 dollars, a user could buy an unlimited number of tickets.

For Video Poker and BlackJack, some custom button images would be nice.

A reset chips option for the users.

Thanks for this excellent hack and I'm looking forward to future updates. PM me your Paypal so I can send you a Donation.

[AuroraStorm]

This looks very interesting and promising. I'll upload when you finish beta testing. Multiplayer games is something my board eagerly awaits...

Question: is it possible to add a spades game or better yet, something like an Uno game? My members would never log off if we had those two games...

[Andrew Green]

It will when the current draw ends, changing the settings effects the next draw, but the one that is already running finishes before anything changes.

20 and 3 is as low as it goes right now, but allowing lower numbers shouldn't be a problem. 10 seems to mess up the payouts though, it ends up paying 135% or so over time, 15 is still good though :)


And a setting for how many ticket a User can buy per lottery. At $2 to $10 dollars, a user could buy an unlimited number of tickets.


So you want a cap? Like no more then X tickets? ( I don't really see a reason to limit tickets to be honest, I can go to the corner store and buy as many as I like)


For Video Poker and BlackJack, some custom button images would be nice.


Yes, but it was make everything work first, then make it pretty :D


A reset chips option for the users.


I don't know, I just see users dropping the highest value they can into a high payout option and resetting until they win...

I'd have to do some research, No idea what spades is and has been a long time since I played Uno...

But Poker will come first regardless as I figure there is more interest for that and I've already written a few of the pieces for it :)

[aztecboi2003]

Any idea when this next version will come out? This weekend perhaps? Will it be out of beta? I really want to install this, just waiting patiently. looks good what you have done with it so far.

[Andrew Green]

I expect the next update by Monday.

It will include a slots game (preview attached. AJAX powered and yes, wheels do spin ;)) as well as all of the fixes for bugs I know about, which are pretty minor at this point (navbar breadcrumbs and things like that)

Should also give more options in the setup, like turning on/off each chip value per game, controlling double down options in BJ and some more player / game stats.

It should be pretty much stable, not really "finished" in the sense that I will still have a couple games to add and need to phrase everything.

1.0 will have a minimum of a well tested multiplayer Texas Hold 'em table, and probably a couple other games as well, so it's a ways off. But along the way each individual game should be pretty stable. I also have some cleaning up on some of the visuals that I want to do, some things where just put in to be functional.

[Cigarcritic]

So you want a cap? Like no more then X tickets? ( I don't really see a reason to limit tickets to be honest, I can go to the corner store and buy as many as I like)

I run a cigar forum and we can pool for cigars. Having a limit on tickets makes the odds fair.

I don't know, I just see users dropping the highest value they can into a high payout option and resetting until they win...

But it's just a game...not real money. :D
Even with Pluginpoker.com the members can reset their chips.

paypal@innovativema.ca (There is a link at the top in the first post), thanks :D

Sending after this message.

Poker does not pay out on A, 2, 3, 4 ,5 straight.

How about an option for the members to place their own Betting Pools? It's too time consuming to post all the games that members want listed.

[Cigarcritic]

Looks good!

[Andrew Green]

Gotcha, but I might have something better.

Also looking at a raffle addition, This would allow a fixed ticket price, limit on tickets and options to have the winner get a fixed cahs prize, total entered or some other prize (which could be a real world item)



But it's just a game...not real money. :D
Even with Pluginpoker.com the members can reset their chips.


True enough, I've just been thinking along the lines of "If you want more, earn them by posting and coming on daily and referrals" :) Added as a possible addition in the future.


Sending after this message.


Thanks much :)

Nope, nor a straight flush, thanks, will fix for next update

Will come, based on usergroup. My reason for doing it this way was I found looking up odds to time consuming, so I am all for less work :D

[aztecboi2003]

Slots looks great. As far as the ufc photo, I could have nfl teams there right? It's totally configurable to whatever betting event I want.

[Andrew Green]

Yes, I have a martial arts site so MMA events get listed :)

You set up your groups as you need them, (NFL, NBA, NHL, etc)

[kylek]

This is getting better by the day!! If you like it dont forget to click "MOTM"

For now we would like to remove the Top Players section, where or what needs to be removed so it will not show? Did a quick look in the templates but nothing jumped out right away.

Thanks!!

[Ski-Whiz]

Few questions........

Have you looked into providing directions on using other point systems??

Also, when the bets are being made in the pool, can anyone see who bet????

I'd like to keep the bets private, meaning no one can see who bet what.. Even after the results..

[Ski-Whiz]

Also, what are the possibilities of adding more games? Is there a bunch you could add? or just a few more??

Just asking so I know what to expect..

[ChU v2]

Looking better, I'm still waiting on the hold em integration to fully install. BTW, your I tried your demo and the usergroup doesn't have perms to access to the casino.

[EmpireZ]

Looking better, I'm still waiting on the hold em integration to fully install. BTW, your I tried your demo and the usergroup doesn't have perms to access to the casino.

This was mentioned in the release. :p

If you want to see a demo, it's live at http://innovativema.ca, it does require registration though as it needs a userid to attach your money too

[Ski-Whiz]

Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but my font is white.

The body can't be seen, as it matches the background..

Not sure what is different on my site than everyone else's, but by default it's white (text).

EDIT: Nevermind, my Body text color was white.. Not sure what this affects on my site, as my body text is all black...

[Ski-Whiz]

Also, something I think that would help this out immensely, the ability for a certain usergroup to place a Sporting event from the bet page.

Basically so they don't have to enter the admincp or modcp everytime they want to add an event.

Also the ability to settle the bet on the page....

[ChU v2]

This was mentioned in the release. :p

I read that. I registered, still having the perms issue.

edit: nevermind had to verify the account :p

[Ski-Whiz]

Also, just a suggestion, put an option where members can buy tickets in bulk..

Since tickets are max 10 points, some members might want to drop some major money..

I'm not saying grab a blank amount, but maybe a drop down where they can by them in packs of 5-20???

[Andrew Green]

This is getting better by the day!! If you like it dont forget to click "MOTM"

For now we would like to remove the Top Players section, where or what needs to be removed so it will not show? Did a quick look in the templates but nothing jumped out right away.

Thanks!!

Glad you like it :)

It's in the casino_index_main template, near the bottom. Pulling this section out should do it:

<table class='tborder' align='center' border='0' cellpadding='6' cellspacing='1' width='250px;'>
<thead>
<tr align='center'>
<td class='tcat' colspan='2'>Top Players</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>

$t_players

</tbody>
</table>

However remember to revert templates on updates if you make changes as it may effect other things. This section will likely end up changing, I plan to have a few other top 10 lists that rotate through and a link to a main stats page in there ;)

Few questions........

Have you looked into providing directions on using other point systems??


I will, but I have to go through them and figure out what fields they use.


Also, when the bets are being made in the pool, can anyone see who bet????

Yes, bets are private.

Basically so they don't have to enter the admincp or modcp everytime they want to add an event.

On the to do list already, next little while that will get done.

Also, just a suggestion, put an option where members can buy tickets in bulk..

Since tickets are max 10 points, some members might want to drop some major money..

I'm not saying grab a blank amount, but maybe a drop down where they can by them in packs of 5-20???

Not thought of that, but certainly a option.



Also, what are the possibilities of adding more games? Is there a bunch you could add? or just a few more??

Just asking so I know what to expect..

Well, I write them all myself, so more are coming, they just take time. Slots should be added in the next couple days, and others will follow over time :)

Anyways, here's some of the things that are coming:

Already Done for next release:
- New game: Slots machine
- Sportspool now allows closing / cancelling events that haven't occurred yet.
- Can turn different chip denominations on/off on a per game basis
- Fixed Aces as low in a straight on poker
- Breadcrumbs are all set up properly
- Stats page is partially done. It tracks how much each person has put into and got out of each game, so there are a lot of stats that can be displayed.

Will likely be done for this next one:
- Some house rules settings for blackjack. When you can double down, whether you can split multiple times.


Other things on which I am looking at:
- Roulette, not sure on this one, but might write it eventually. Not a terribly hard module to build.
- A raffle system. Buy tickets, one person wins. Prize can be a fixed amount, winner takes all, or something outside of that (supporting membership, physical prize, whatever you like)
- Multiplayer Poker, some of the functions are written, I've figured out most of the tricky pieces (simple chat, picking the best possible hand, finding the winner) just a matter of putting them together and turning it into a game. Still, this is a bigger piece and will take longer. Will start with Texas Hold em, however other rules might follow later on.
- Sportspool needs some polishing, initially I wrote a lot of this just for my site and it shows on that one especially. The setup interface needs work and to become something non-admins can do.
- Better graphics. The chips are ugly and where thrown together quickly, the buttons are about as plain as they could be.

[Ski-Whiz]

Awesome!!!

I can say one thing, if you get a multi player game (live) going, this will be a HUGE mod!!

I didn't want to swamp you with a wish list, just providing some feedback. :D

Thanks for getting back to me.. Also, once this comes out of beta, I'd as for a major addition mod forum on here. :D

My staff is testing the casino out now.. So far so good.

[Andrew Green]

Wish lists are good, I might not do everything everyone asks for, but I'll definitely use the better ideas :)

Multiplayer is obviously the biggest piece, which is why I'm leaving it until I got a fairly good handle on the vB api, first product for me so it's a learning experience.

[Robbed]

If we set the daily bonus, it seems like it awards every hour when the scheduled task runs.

[evesve]

Its getting better and better!!! :D
Perfect card size!
Mass Cash Adjustments works fine!
(Can you edit singel user there too?)

Now I wait for multiplayer Texas Holdem! :up: ;)

[Cornie]

This add-on is hard-encoded. Can you make this with phrases. Is better to translat in other language.

[sandt38]

Now I wait for multiplayer Texas Holdem! :up: ;)

My staff and members are clamoring for the same.


Thanks.

[Andrew Green]

I fixed that on my live site, but guess I forgot on my development one, will be fixed next update, and can be manually fixed until them if you want.

Yes, but that will likely be one of the last things I do.

.20 is up, with a new game :)

[duckdodger]

Thanks, this is a really cool mod. I haven't even told anyone about it or put links to the page yet and my members have still found it :D

[Ski-Whiz]

Nice... Installed .20 and works flawlessly!!

[SBlueman]

Very cool. The staff is loving it so far.

Someone did ask....is it possible to add sound?

[sandt38]

I have also installed .20 and I am quite impressed. I really love this hack. I have even made my own markers to jazz up the casino a bit. I love how you made it so easy to add your own markers, too.

Is there any way to disable the lottery and sports betting pool options on the stats page? I have disabled the use of them (I use vBookie and vBCredits, thereby making the need for these non-existant) but they still show up on the stat sheets.

[sinisterpain]

Shoot, the issue with the dealers total is showing up in blackjack again in the .2 DL.

[Andrew Green]

Fixed file is in main post, archive is corrected. That's what I get for fixing a problem on a different computer...

[sandt38]

I just replaced the blackjack_deal.php with the .php from .12. I assume this was the correct fix (rather then having to re-dl and load the whole thing again), or was there more added to the .php for this update?

[TTG]

Installed and working perfectly using the latest version 2 vbbux / vbplaza points system.

Great addition .. thanks Andrew

Yes, but that will likely be one of the last things I do.

Was this fixed in the new version? it;s still doing it for me.

Also on the stats page if you can have per game stats like top a blackjack etc

[Cigarcritic]

Same problem here with IE.

[Andrew Green]

Yes, but I'm new to the product system, so it might just not be updating the times. In scheduled tasks go to "Update Casino cash" and change hour from a * to whatever time you want it to run, Middle of the night is best.


Also on the stats page if you can have per game stats like top a blackjack etc

Yes, I'll probably expand on the stats page at some point.

[rwilkins108]

Still lovin' this casino!

In the card games, is there anyway to not refresh the screen each time you perform an action?

Also, can the user's total always be displayed instead of when just betting.

1 more, how about :
You Win or Dealer Wins in Blackjack
Instead of Pair +25, something like Pair, you win 25 for Poker

Keep up the great work!

Still lovin' this casino!

In the card games, is there anyway to not refresh the screen each time you perform an action?


The screen doesn't refresh, just the play area, card games and slot machine use AJAX and do the minimal refreshing they can get away with. So when you perform a action it clears the area and sends the request to the server for an update on what cards and buttons to display, but everything outside of that is not refreshed.


Also, can the user's total always be displayed instead of when just betting.

1 more, how about :
You Win or Dealer Wins in Blackjack
Instead of Pair +25, something like Pair, you win 25 for Poker

Keep up the great work!
:D

When I get to phrasing I'll be looking at all my wordings and things :)

[Andrew Green]

v .21
Slots should work in Internet Explorer now
Template should cache properly
Inactive games aren't included in stats

[evesve]

Better and better!

- Added stats page, main casino page stats rotate through the 5 on this page now.
Can You make a choise in CP for the rotate?
I prefer to have "Richest Players" there always...

[Andrew Green]

I can, but for now change this:

if($ismainpage)
$page = (rand() % 5) + 1;


too this:

if($ismainpage)
$page =5;


in the stats.php file on line 10 & 11.

And it will only show the richest players box.

[Jason Black]

so the casino files is on it's own in the main forum root directory? or they go in a seperate floder?

Uhmmm the casino.php, goes in the admin cp right?

[Andrew Green]

casino.php goes in your main forum directory. On your site that would be here:

http://www.rapfeinds.com/casino.php

everything else goes in the folders the archive has them in

[Jason Black]

Ohhhhhhhhhh i see
Thanks Andrew....you are the greatest

[kylek]

if($ismainpage)

And it will only show the richest players box.

What would be needed to just display Most Won always instead of richest players?
Thanks!!

[Andrew Green]

Thanks!!

Just a matter of changing the "5" to the one you want:

1 - Individuals stats
2 - Total stats
3 - Most Won
4 - Luckiest
5 - Richest

Now slots doesn't display any images at all

I believe it is something in the products_casino.xml Because reloading the slots .phps did nothing, but reloading the product file brought back the images.

[Andrew Green]

did you upload the image? it changed, now it's one image rather then a seperate one for each fruit. If not upload the slotwheel.png file to the casino/cards folder

[kylek]

Andrew,

Got a weird problem on one site, went from .20 to .21 and now the pay window where it says what you won in slots is not showing, any suggestion where to look or what might have not uploaded right, or is it the style we are using?

70802

[Andrew Green]

Did you modify any templates by hand? If so they need to be reverted.

Is it there but in a black font?

[kylek]

Oops sorry, just saw that the text is black and hidden in this style, looking at the casino_slots_main to see where I can change it now.

[Andrew Green]

Change this:

<td style='vertical-align:top;width:150px;text-align:center;' 'class='thead'><p style='font-size:18pt;'>Payout<br/><span style='font-size:36pt;font-weight:bold;' id='outcome'></span></p></td>


To this:

<td style='vertical-align:top;width:150px;text-align:center;' 'class='thead'><span style='font-size:18pt;'>Payout</span><br/><span style='font-size:36pt;font-weight:bold;' id='outcome'></span></td>

That should fix it and will go into the next update.

Hi

I have just installed the newest version of the casino (0-21) and there isn'e a link showing in my admincp.

Any ideas why it wouldn;t be there.

I installed it on a test forum with the version 0-20 and it worked fine.

Any help is much appreciated.

[gwerzal]

Is there any way of adding more set outcomes to the sports betting pool?

Did you upload all of the admincp files, including the includes/xml folder?

[Andrew Green]

Not sure what you mean?

[Jason Black]

can you intergrate this into VB plaza?

[Ski-Whiz]

can you intergrate this into VB plaza?

Yes... In the point system field, use "vbbux" (assuming you haven't renamed your point system default in vbplaza)

[stangger5]

In the slots,,if you bet 10 and you get:
one cherry ,,you get 10 points,,
two cherries ,, you get 30 points,,
Three cherries ,, you get 10 points...

Shouldnt it pay out 100 points for three cherries ??

It should, and it does for me...?

Can you can force a 3 cherry result and confirm this?

Below (line 142):
$a = (rand() % 64);
$a = $wheel1[$a];
$b = (rand() % 64);
$b = $wheel2[$b];
$c = (rand() % 64);
$c = $wheel3[$c];

add

$a = $b = $c = 1;

in slots_ajax.php

(Make sure the latest versions of all the files are up first too)

[stangger5]

Below line 142 ??

So it will look like this ??

$a = (rand() % 64);
$a = $b = $c = 1;


I added it there and played some more..
I hit three cherries again and got 100 this time...

[Andrew Green]

well no, bellow the whole block. but if you hit it twice something is definitely wrong, do other 3 of a kinds pay out properly? (can force them the same way)

[stangger5]

Its scoring right now....Must have been a one time thing....

Thanks !!

[Robbed]

Thanks, looks good.

I'm getting Uncached templates: casino_slots_slotimage (21)

[SBlueman]

I just noticed there are no breadcrumbs setup in the Sports Pool Page (see attached)

[Andrew Green]

Thanks !!

I think I know what might have done it, display error rather then a scoring error that could have occured if the server was experiencing heavy lag. Will take care of this, the casino_slots_image template (which isn't even needed anymore) and the sportspool breadcrumbs bugs with the next update.

[xxxsaint]

the Lottery doesn't seem to be working correctly, I've disabled it on every day , and then enabled it on every day to see if it would " reset " and it still says No Draw Active at this time, please check back later

[Andrew Green]

I'll look into that, some of the admincp stuff is really not doing a lot of error checking, so doing something it doesn't expect could get funny results.

My guess is that it will start up again, after the next draw time. I believe going to the scheduled task and hitting "Run now" should start a draw up for you though.

[Tulsa]

On a blackjack it seems to be paying 1:1 instead of 1.5:1, is this intentional?

On the ajax refresh of the card screen, can any adjustments be made to this, like just refreshing the cards themselves and not the title bars above them?

My members are really enjoying this addition, thanks! :)

[Andrew Green]

No, it should be returning 3:2, I'll look into that.

edit: Found the problem, missing a "else", will be fixed with next update.

[kpa4941]

Can I integrate this hack with vbcredits. I want my members to use Credits instead of Casino money.

[sinisterpain]

The Lotto main template wraps to right side.
Looking at the template you have
<html>

need to change to
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

Fixes the problem

[Mark.B]

Yes, you just specify "credits" as the cash to use in the casino options.

[kylek]

Works great with vbcredits, just set the points awards to 0 for vbcasino also. Only drawback is the many extra decimal points.

I'll cut the decimals off for those using other systems in the next update...

Or disable the plugins that award cash on those actions.

Hello Andrew - questions about the lottery.

We have two sites set for pick 3 out of 20 numbers.

How is the payout set for these. On both sites with a draw that just happened the number was drawn but shows no winners. Do you have to have all three numbers correct, or does it pay for one number correct, or two, etc.

Here is some tickets recorded on one site for todays draw:

2 10 17
9 10 17
1 2 8
1 2 15
3 6 10
2 8 12
9 10 17

Numbers drawn 6, 16, 19,

Another sites numbers for todays draw:

1 7 9
5 10 16
7 15 17
15 17 19
9 10 16
3 12 18
7 12 18
8 16 18

The numbers drawn were 1, 10, 19.

If you get something for pick 1 right then in the above tickets I should have been a winner 4 times. Yet next to the drawn number it says no winners in the box.

Also how does one know if they win anything in the lottery, is it announced anywhere?

Sorry for the questions, just trying to get it straight as i know members are going to ask the same questions.

[Andrew Green]

Not announced anywhere, unless it is a full match.

With those 3 x 20 you would need 2 of 3 to win anything.

At the bottom of the casino setup screen it shows the minimum payouts for each number of hits. This is what you would get if you won and no tickets had been bought, however the jackpot goes up. In reality actual payouts will average about double that. Some smaller, some bigger.

On average you would be looking at a JP of 580 and a 2 of 3 win of 11.

Odds of a JP are 1 in 1140
2 of 3 1 in 22

The math behind it should provides a payout over time of about 100% no matter what values you choose. (I ran simulations of millions of draws across the whole range)

[kylek]

Thank you very much, that helps me and my members a lot!!

[wilburshere]

loving this mod thank you the slot machine awesome

[eurofunny]

Yes very nice mod thx. For the Future Version here are my wish:

Multiplayer Onlinescrabble like this one http://ryan.buterbaugh.org/wabble/ :)

[hoopsta]

where can I change Top 10 money winners to Top 25?

[Mark.B]

Looking good!

The slots game and the stats page are not covered in the who's online display plugin.

[hoopsta]

BTW - I can't even see the Top 10 stats

[Andrew Green]

BTW - I can't even see the Top 10 stats

Meaning you see less then 10? If that is the case then you probably just haven't had 10 people go into the casino yet ;)

If not what is your site's URL? ( the link in your profile is broken.)

[hoopsta]

sometimes the stats show, sometimes they don't. http://www.pointguardu.com/cats/casino.php

It looks like there is a new stats package but if so it doesn't show up. try refreshing the screen. it disappears.

Try reverting any edited templates, looks like you are using a modified v .1 template on the main screen, that template changed with .2

[hoopsta]

nice looks awesome. that did it!

[Andrew Green]

I think what I am going to do is add some options in the admincp to set a fixed stats type or rotate, as well as how many names to show.

Looking good!

Thanks, will fix with next update.

[hoopsta]

great idea andrew.... maybe you can add "unluckiest" and funny stuff like that. Is there a way you can add an option where people can choose to cheat? and have like a 2% chance to be successful, but if they get caught they lose x5 the bet or something?

[sinisterpain]

Secondary usergroups do not work. Members get permisions denied.

More stats is definately doable. Not so sure about the cheating thing though.

Nope, primary only right now. It's easy enough to switch though, so I can do that with the next update.

[Hornstar]

would be cool if you could change this: Casino Cash: 250
to Casino Cash (http://www.linkedtocasion.com): $250 in the next update as well

So far I have given it a good testing, and it looks amazing :)

[Andrew Green]

$ signs can definitely be added.

I'm going to put up a minor update tomorrow to fix all the little things that have come up, and make a few minor cosmetic adjustments. So if anyone else has noticed anything odd please let me know. Next "big" update possibly this weekend, maybe the next will include a new game :)

And the one that seems to be on the top of the wish lists, multiplayer Texas Hold'em is coming along nicely. Screen gets drawn, 10 seats are there, 10 people can join, chat room works, game starts and deals two cards each, then times out and dumps the hand because it doesn't know what else to do yet :D But most of the "hard" stuff is done, just needs a little more time, but it is definitely coming soon.

So there is a little update on where things sit.

[ArchangelX]

Holy shiat, that would be awesome! If you need ANY help with graphics, just let me know!
