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**

3rd wheel missing it's position occasionally has been fixed, and the odds and payouts for slots have been reworked. Dropped to 6 types of fruit, cherries only payout if they are left aligned and the lottery allows you to select as low as 13 for a range.

So that will all be there for the next update.

All this good support and listening to users ideas gave me an idea...
I clicked on a button "MOD for the month"...
Was that stupid???

[deezelpope]

No, I, and several other members, have, too!

No, that's an excellent idea. I nominated this mod some days ago because I think it's great and has fantastic potential. I'd rate it as potentially as important as the arcades have been, if that type of thing works well on your site (which it does for mine).

My members love the casino, particularly the card games. MOM would be well deserved.

Andrew, regarding the Texas Hold'em game that you're working on...I know very little about it, but one of my moderators does, and has asked me to pass the following on. I hope it means something.....

"If you know the author, could you ask him/her to include a heads-up-game option? After all, almost every game will reduce to two players at some point"

[Andrew Green]

Right now it's limit texas hold 'em up to 10 players, heads up rules apply when there are 2 people left.

[Mark.B]

Cheers...I shall pass that on....

From the "man, that's really anal" department comes: Did you know the reels on the slot machine spin backwards?

From the wish list department comes: Have you ever heard of Pachislo? It's a Japanese slot machine. Similar in respect to an average slot machine except it allows the player to stop each reel individually. This gives a little more interaction for the player as they attempt to hit their targets, called eye-shooting. The Japanese law allows their machines to "slip" up to 4 positions from where the stop button is pressed to control the outcome in the Parlor's favor. As a future addition, it would be a good one.

For the people who think it never lands on 3 in a row...

Ok...here's the next questions I've been given.

"When it says "up to ten players" do you know if that means you have to have a full table to start the game, or you can start with any number of players? The reason I ask is we're pretty unlikely to get ten players simultaneously on our site.

Also, what will happen if a player leaves the game before he's lost all his chips? Will the computer take over?"
