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**

Installed all fine but I would like to change all the $ refs to ? any pointers to where they are to be found thanks

[Andrew Green]

The one in the postbit template you do manually, change the phrase "casino_currency_marker" for the rest.

Suggestions for future updates:

Don't know if you have some of this in the works or if I've missed it but here goes. I was an avid poker player in the past. This is mainly suggestions for the Texas Hold em part.

1. No Limit Poker! - Make it so users can customize bets.
2. View Previous Hands
3. More than one room available. - I assume more than 10 people will want to play at one time.
4. Options to show/hide hand if user folds - If opponent folds, the winner can select to show/hid there hand.
5. Custom 'avatars' to show above username when sitting at a table.
6. Is click the ready button before each hand necessary?
7. Beep to notify user of his/her turn if taking too long.
8. If user takes too long, set them to an idle state so they are at the table, but not in the hands, after a certain amount of time, user is kicked from the table.

Also is there a way to have like an Admin donate option for the Casino cash?

Hope I've helped.

I've had several users request the same things.

AWESOME add-on, though. Great job!

Is there a way for us to customize a few of the images, i.e. 'ninjas', 'chips', etc??

At some point maybe.

2. View Previous Hands

Probably not, don't really see the benefit myself.

3. More than one room available. - I assume more than 10 people will want to play at one time.

Again, at some point.

4. Options to show/hide hand if user folds - If opponent folds, the winner can select to show/hid there hand.

Not sure what you mean

5. Custom 'avatars' to show above username when sitting at a table.

thought about that, but with a 10 player game, chat box and common cards, there isn't really any space to put them and keep everything on the screen at once without a high resolution monitor

6. Is click the ready button before each hand necessary?

Yep. Otherwise people that don't want dealt in, or have left the room will get dealt in.

7. Beep to notify user of his/her turn if taking too long.

Sound effects have been asked for before, might happen in the near future.

8. If user takes too long, set them to an idle state so they are at the table, but not in the hands, after a certain amount of time, user is kicked from the table.

That's the function of the ready button, keep people that are not sitting there from getting dealt in

A way to boot people is needed however.

Also is there a way to have like an Admin donate option for the Casino cash?

Hope I've helped.

You can modify peoples cash manually in the admincp (user options), or increase amounts by usergroup.

Sure, just replace the image files.
