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**

This is what I get when I try and play a game

Warning: Unknown(./includes/functions_forumlist.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions.php(5166) : eval()'d code on line 215

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required './includes/functions_forumlist.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/www/html/bbs/includes/functions.php(5166) : eval()'d code on line 215

Lottery winners should only list people that hit all the numbers, have you had a Jackpot winner?

No just two numbers were hit. that would explain it thanks

It looks like the Sports pool works and the slots graphics only work in Firefox, the Texas Holdem has just a shoutbox with no graphics in both browsers and the blackjack shows the error in the message up there ^^ a couple of posts up. . Id love to get this working.

I'll sign up and have a look at what's going on when I get a chance.

Not at this time. No limit only really works for tournaments IMO, when people got differing amounts of cash it's just unfair...

Not really, you could edit the file, but balancing odds is tricky. Set the numbers funny and you could end up with very low or very high payouts.

Basically each wheel has 64 possible hits, each position is weighted differently.

So strawberries for example have a 32 in 64 chance on each wheel. or 50%, .5 x .5 x .5 = 12.5% change of getting 3 strawberries.

Cherries have a 16 / 64 chance on each. or .25 of getting the first, .0625 of getting first 2, and .016 (1.6%) of getting all 3

Right now the payout will average a little over 100% of what goes into it. (104%) which is pretty good

i know it pays to well
the deal on my board is we will be giving away a Ready To Fly radio control heli and i dont want people playing the slots and making a ton of credits
more like 80% over all ods some get lucky some dont get so lucky

Darn... I am sitting at about 70%...

Now cards on the other hand, I own all card games. Especially Hold'em

All the games payout about 100%

But you do have to be pretty lucky to go over 100%

Easiest thing to do too bring it down would be change this line:

$payouts = array(10,1000,200,50,20,3);

to this:

$payouts = array(10,1000,200,50,20,2);

Will put you down to around 90%, strawberries will pay 2 rather then 3, just edit the payout chart to reflect that as well
