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**

no, i just have vbulletin and do all my changing of stuff through the admin area. I have only been doing this for a few months now so I'm pretty new to a lot of stuff.

I had installed your casino mod a while back and have installed all the updates so far just fine. However this one was different. Say when I went to roulette and tried clicking on a chip to use, it wouldnt 'light up'. Also, the strips that spin were above the actual slot machine as well. I guess I should have handled it differently, but I tried to reinstall the version before this one and it gave me one of those error messages, this time about the texas hold-em chat area. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the new version and now here is where I am with the casino_cash error. I'd really like to get back to square one, but I'm not sure what to do.
Thank you

Donate:
when clicked on the main casino page http://www.xxxxxxx.com/forum/casino.php?do=donate no longer goes to the donate page. It just refreshes the main page.

Stats:
Still getting
"Notice: Undefined variable: db in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxx.com/httpdocs/forum/casino/stats.php on line 2" if i click 'more stats' and then 'your stats' . Rest of the page loads normally.

Everything else seems great. Only updated last night.

Quick fix for that:

In casino.php find:

if($do == 'stats')
	{
		require_once('casino/stats.php');
		exit();
	}

Add below:

else if($_GET['do']=='donate')
		{
			require_once('casino/donate.php');
			exit();
	}

That'll patch it to make the donate link work until Andrew does a cleaner fix.

Probably not, don't really see the benefit myself.

Benefit of showing previous hands would be just that, I can't always remember and I people are always asking "what did I just have" or "what did I fold again" after they see the flop or what not.

Not sure what you mean

Let's say a player folds, the other player could then have an option to show his cards to the players that folded.

thought about that, but with a 10 player game, chat box and common cards, there isn't really any space to put them and keep everything on the screen at once without a high resolution monitor

there's always room

Yep. Otherwise people that don't want dealt in, or have left the room will get dealt in.

What about a checkbox that the user can select to say if they want to be in the next or not. This can be done for the check or fold options as well, so the user can check the box before its there turn to speed up the gameplay

Sound effects have been asked for before, might happen in the near future.

Would help

Some more suggestions:

Displaying the winning hand in the chatbox. ex. "ChU wins with a pair of Kings"

With an additon of multiple rooms, tournaments 8 player tables, set cash, winner gets $ added to their total casino cash or admin set prize

I assume you have gone into a free online poker site and seen what they do, if not I suggest it. Most of my suggestions stem from playing online poker on fulltiltpoker.net
