Major Additions - Casino (w/ 10 player poker)

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 am not sure if I am completely confident messing around in phpmyadmin unless it is a very last resort. I may just wait for the update or disable the casino until the update if the database errors keep flooding in too much more, however is this next update looking like it may come out this week end, or later (So I can gauge what my best solution is ).

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

after i updated the .72 .. and i fixed the index switch1 thing and the stats worked great.. but i encountered another problem.. on my cronjob it didn't run, after i test run manually.. this is what i got:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /data/sv/sextalk/includes/cron/casino_lotto.php on line 127

Thanks

	$setting = $db->fetch_array($settings);

They should be:

	$settings = $vbulletin->db->query_read($query);
	$setting = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($settings);

Will be fixed next time I update, or making that change will do it.

the solution

Andy,

Just had a member of my forum ask the below:

well i've dabbled many times in the casino, on all the games (other than the multiplayer one, as there nvr anyone there when i there!) but i've yet to finish in profit!!

what are the %age win margins set to? can they be changed? as it only fun and not serious.... could they be upped a little, might tempt more ppl to play the casino games??

Is there anyway of altering the odds?

Nope, they are all near 100% though.

Without rigging the games that isn't going to change. Blackjack, Roulette & Let 'em Ride are all fixed, Video Poker is bumped up slightly from standard odds, I suppose that and slots "could" be altered, but that would unbalance things.

It's simple, and has no risk too it. Just click on the table name (casino_settings) and you will be shown the structure, there are also a bunch of little buttons beside each field, click the one that says "index" when you hover over it. That's it.

[Hornstar]

so click index for 'settingid' and 'settingname' and 'switch1' and switch2'?

I see this: "PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `settingid`"
