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 expect the next update by Monday.

It will include a slots game (preview attached. AJAX powered and yes, wheels do spin ) as well as all of the fixes for bugs I know about, which are pretty minor at this point (navbar breadcrumbs and things like that)

Should also give more options in the setup, like turning on/off each chip value per game, controlling double down options in BJ and some more player / game stats.

It should be pretty much stable, not really "finished" in the sense that I will still have a couple games to add and need to phrase everything.

1.0 will have a minimum of a well tested multiplayer Texas Hold 'em table, and probably a couple other games as well, so it's a ways off. But along the way each individual game should be pretty stable. I also have some cleaning up on some of the visuals that I want to do, some things where just put in to be functional.

I run a cigar forum and we can pool for cigars. Having a limit on tickets makes the odds fair.

I don't know, I just see users dropping the highest value they can into a high payout option and resetting until they win...

But it's just a game...not real money.
Even with Pluginpoker.com the members can reset their chips.

Poker does not pay out on A, 2, 3, 4 ,5 straight.

How about an option for the members to place their own Betting Pools? It's too time consuming to post all the games that members want listed.

Gotcha, but I might have something better.

Also looking at a raffle addition, This would allow a fixed ticket price, limit on tickets and options to have the winner get a fixed cahs prize, total entered or some other prize (which could be a real world item)

But it's just a game...not real money.

True enough, I've just been thinking along the lines of "If you want more, earn them by posting and coming on daily and referrals" Added as a possible addition in the future.

Thanks much

Nope, nor a straight flush, thanks, will fix for next update

Will come, based on usergroup. My reason for doing it this way was I found looking up odds to time consuming, so I am all for less work

Slots looks great. As far as the ufc photo, I could have nfl teams there right? It's totally configurable to whatever betting event I want.

Yes, I have a martial arts site so MMA events get listed

You set up your groups as you need them, (NFL, NBA, NHL, etc)

This is getting better by the day!! If you like it dont forget to click "MOTM"

For now we would like to remove the Top Players section, where or what needs to be removed so it will not show? Did a quick look in the templates but nothing jumped out right away.

Thanks!!

Few questions........

Have you looked into providing directions on using other point systems??

Also, when the bets are being made in the pool, can anyone see who bet????

I'd like to keep the bets private, meaning no one can see who bet what.. Even after the results..

[Ski-Whiz]

Also, what are the possibilities of adding more games? Is there a bunch you could add? or just a few more??

Just asking so I know what to expect..

Looking better, I'm still waiting on the hold em integration to fully install. BTW, your I tried your demo and the usergroup doesn't have perms to access to the casino.
