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**

From What I remember when I first installed Casino.
The lottery takes 24 hrs to activate itself.

Because a Cron job has to run.

i wish if the casino was OFF instead of the standard no permission error, it would say something like "The casino is currently closed, check back later."

I have downloaded your product from the forum . Please tell me what i did
wrong.

1. I made a new folder in my ftp under forum which is ;
Sportsunit.com/forum/casino

2. I've uploaded " admincp,casino,includes,casino.php " in to casino folder

3. Imported the xml file in the forum admin
Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Added xml file

Now here comes the problem. In my forum admin area, I do not see any new
options like you said , "lottery setup or casino settings " .

Please help me, my forum is sportsbook and casino related forum and i
really need your casino program.

Please assist.

Thank you in adavance for kind help .

***** ATTENTION ***** MAJOR BUG ALERT *****

!!! Money transfer / donation security bug !!!

How to duplicate:

1. Go to casino donation page, fill in your OWN name and the amount of money to donate.

2. On the next page you get an url like http://forum.myforum.com/c...&donate=Donate

3. Put this URL in http://tinyurl.com/ , it will give you a short version of the URL

4. Post somewhere on the forum this URL between IMG tags (or just URL tags)

5. Anyone who views the 'image' or clicks the URL will now donate to you

So the donation system needs a confirmation with password or something, well i don't know if that's needed but it obviously isn't secure at this point. We have it disabled untill it is secure.


Thank you

You only waited 3 hours.

Having said that, this hack is currently abandoned by the author, sadly, he hasn't been on vb.org for over a month now. The casino's own support site is now just riddled with spammers.

Very sad as this showed much promise and even won "Mod Of The Month" but I think perhaps the author got a bit overwhelmed with it all.

Technically, IMO you should censor tinyurl.com on your forum as it can be used for menacing acts. Using tinyurl for phishing is one way people are using for this criminal act. Ofcourse, you never really can know all the time where a tinyurl will lead you as well. Also, if you do not allow advertising on your forum and have banned certain sites, tinyurl can be used to bypass this ban. These are just some reasons I have found to censor it. :erm:
