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**

Do you think this could be an idea for the future. Have a tournament texas hold'em table, where the player needs to pay x amount of points to enter, and then the winner gets all the points at the end. Anyone who leaves the table will forfeit their points. Once the table reaches x people the game begins. Do you think something like that could be done?

Regarding the Texas Hold-em.

Just played a few games with hornstar1337 and evesve.

The FIRST game we played didn't payout! The game played OK, just nobody won

We tried refreshing the page, and the game reset to a new game. The game we were playing was lost. However, we tried refreshing the page again and it worked fine. So perhaps the page refresh wasn't the problem? While we were chatting, the game reset. So we guessed that it might be caused by a timeout. If nobody bets/plays for a certain period of time the game ends/resets?

At one point, someone folded... but next time around they were back in the game. So might be a small bug there too.

All in all a superb addition to this Add-On that worked very well... and hell is it addictive

I can't wait till I get this on my site. The guys are gonna LOVE it. OK, gotta go click MOTM now.

Keep up the great work Andrew, you are doing a fantastic job with this.

One matter that I think does need sorting on the casino in general is the time zones....I'm having nightmares with the sports betting pool getting events to close at the right time since it doesn't grab the vB timezone settings.

I amended the code in the sportspool file to show vbtime to members but in the admin panel I haven't managed to do this, so getting the times to tally is a nightmare and events often close at the wrong time.

It's especially hard as you cannot easily amend an event once created, I am having to alter the timestamp via phpmyadmin using a Unix timestamp generator.

The lottery has the same problem...ours is always drawn at 3amUK time which is obviously after most people have gone to bed. I tried to amend that but made something of a mess of it.

That sounds like a great idea, so count me as a vote for that too. It would also be handy if we could perhaps make it so that only certain members (perhaps a particular group) could join the Tournament? That we we could have organised games etc.

Oops, am I thinking out loud again

And I had AAA, lost all my money

This can be VERY big!

It was very fun to test it!
A few bugs but I am sure Andrew will fix them!

Do you have any beta-testers on other forums?

Super great Mod Andrew.... just one problem.. some of my members are addicted

[Andrew Green]

I think most / all of the issues that where there are now resolved, just needs some testing to figure out if I missed anything.

Will do.

.31 is up, with texas hold'em.

Other games are pretty stable, and so far this one is too. But still consider it a Beta

Let me know how it goes.

[FreeFall1]

it installed ok but the casino setting in admincp seemed to have gone, i overwrote the old version
