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 played basic strategy in blackjack for a while and lost my butt. Actually, when I say a "while" I mean I wasted at least 4 hours in there so far :P

As I've said, it's calculated out to stay as near to 100% as I could get it. Basically to keep it fair. If you changed the jackpot by hand bringing it up from 2000 to 100,000 without changing the odds the lottery would be paying out 5000%

Put a 5 x 25 draw and you should clear 100,000 at $10 tickets.

As things stand all the games are pretty even, they all sit in the 95-100% payout range.

I think others are thinking the same as me, an option to increase the lottery payout would be nice if it is possible. Tbh the 100% payout is far from our minds. I think he is going a bit wild with the 100000 but our lottery is running at 10,000 many members have a lot more than that. If I could make it 30, 40 or 50k a lot more would buy tickets if you see what I mean.

Well I don't have any plans to for anything on this, but it's easy enough to hard code it in:

LIne 183 / 184 in the includes/cron/casino_lotto.php

	
if(! $jackpot)
	$jackpot =  round($odds[$numbers] * .5 * $price);

add a multiplication factor, ex:

	
if(! $jackpot)
	$jackpot =  round($odds[$numbers] * .5 * $price) * 3;

Next time the jackpot gets reset (someone wins it or the odds get changed that will kick in. If you want it before then change the draw in the casino_lotto_draw, it will be the last one and the only one that doesn't have a result.

Nothing looked odd, and if it's not on the casino pages I can't see how it would be caused by the casino, you'd have to point it out though as I'm not sure what you are referring too.

I'd likely have to see it crash to know what's going on, I'll try and get over to your site this weekend. Anything I need to know to be able to duplicate it?

[DieselMinded]

Ill go try to Snag some of the error codes ,

No just normal playing cards then about 22 errors fire off and the page refreshes then things are fine again the cards and ect are the same but the chat box is clean

[Andrew Green]

If you could PM me the error codes that would be great.
