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**

Did you remove the link you added from your navbar? and the postbit template change? How are they going to play if it has been removed?

The first yes, in some cases. Some casino's don't check for blackjack until after the hand has been played.

The second, sort of. If you bust, you lose regardless, but if there where other players at the table the dealer would play the hand out. Doesn't effect play regardless though.

Rules vary, I figure if you DD and the dealer was showing a Ace, you got what you deserved

The blackjack game is getting a few improvements made, 5-card charlie rule is going in. I might change the way it handles dealer getting blackjack, might not. Don't think I'll add insurance though as it's really a bad bet to make and just a way to add a little edge for the house when suckers are playing

I agree with you the insurance, it's a waste of your time.
Gameplay after the bust - no big deal.

About the dealer having blackjack, though - I've played a lot of blackjack at a lot of casinos, and they always check for blackjack in my experience. Perhaps a simple solution would be to not allow the dealer to flip a blackjack, but just give the dealer a blackjack on average of (1 in every 20.72 hands).

And of course you are right about doubling against an ace.

Keep up the good work!

I never added them, I posted it on a private members thread,I presume they have bookmarked it,have since told them it's not working but might not stop them trying thou eh ?

Can I remove all the tables etc it installed?

[Andrew Green]

the uninstall "should" have done that, if not go to phpmyadmin and remove them there. They all start with "casino_" and there is a casino_cash field that was added to the user table.

Betting structure in blackjack got completely reworked, I tried a ton of variations on having a push with a $250 bet and can't get anything odd to happen.

Roulette should be cleaned up with the latest versions.

Could you add some kind of "previous winners" to the lottery? Ours keeps getting winners I think but I dunno who won.

[wolfyman]

ha!

I WIN!!!!

[wolfyman]

ph, and using that screen in firefox...I can't use my 250 chip.

[Andrew Green]

wow, can't say I've ever seen that happen, anyone else ever get that?

What happened? did it overdeal you, did it let you keep hitting? Where you playing more then one game at once? (multiple tabs)

btw - the 250 is likely due to the default table limit being 100. Game settings to change that
