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 just upgraded to 90 and the screen flickers pretty badly in holdem. It never did this before. Also, the /kick feature is not working in holdem.

The /kick feature isn't working because the Mod Usergroups field is not updating in the CP when I save it.

Also, am I missing something here? I saw someone with a lot more links in their Casino drill down.

Those categories are correct. The only files needed in your /forum/admincp folder are:

casino_donate.php
casino_games.php
casino_settings.php

All other settings are handled in the Betting Pool itself. Make sure that in "Game Settings" you define the Usergroups with Admin rights for Betting Pool.

For the edit groups link check my edit somewhere in page 164 of this thread.

I'll have a look, I might have added a row into the settings table manually and forgotten about it in the install file (works for me, so that's my guess)

No, yours is correct. The other entries are now handled directly in the game or within the pages you have. admincp went under a pretty big overhaul in the last couple updates.

Oh and if someones name is john's_mate then their name will appear as john\\'s_mate at the table and john\'s_mate in the text window.

Again very minor. Anyway I've left the members loose on it some if they can't break it no one can

I'd love the sporting pool to be thread based. People won't see the bets otherwise.

I'll probably give it a go on 3.7 in about 2 weeks too.

Great work and happy new year.

aloso apostrophes in donator cause a db error on donate

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

seems ok it i donate to john's_mate though.

john has an awful lot to answer for

I upgraded from 8.1a to 9.0... everything went smooth and appears to be working ok! Great job Andrew! and great MOD!

Just a friendly reminder for the next version... if the admin could have more ability to control the Sports Bet. I am not sure how much this would entail, but we definately need a way to see what was won. I am using vbcredits... but there has got to be some way to see who won what on each bet/settle. I can't see anything but the total. I should be able to see who won what and how much after I settle the bet. I only see my own (if I bet). Another thing is if a user placed a bet incorrectly (believe me, I have users like this). The admin needs to be able to edit any bet... and perhaps the jackpot... or at least allow the admin to increase the jackpot.

Thanks.... ~ Ed

Get the same also. Clicking on the start game button does nothing either.

Could be to do with the javascript I guess. Or even the AJAX plugin.

any ideas?

Is anybody else having this issue? That's the main reason I want to upgrade, to get rid of the jumpy hold em page.

Good ideas as well

The flicker was completely eliminated for me, if anyone is having problems send me a link to your site so I can see why it's still happening.
