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**

Hoping for a quicky fix really, as now Members are PMing me!

I haven't been able to duplicate this, I get proper payouts every time. I'll dig into it a little more when I get time, but can you please answer the questions above about what you are seeing happen?

Basically, you place a $10 Slot bet, and if you lose, it deducts OK, but if you win if displays the Payout OK, but doesn't add it on to your balance. Another instance is say you won $30, it only adds $20 on to your balance!

Are you remembering to take the amount off of your balance as you put it in?

If I have 20, and put 10 in, then win 10. My balance is 20. +0 from starting balance
If I have 20, and put 10 in, then win 30. My balance is 40. +20 from starting balance

Thanks...I have tried this with a few draws but if you run the cron manually it just draws the numbers 1,2 and 3 every time.

That's hilarious

...and I promise not to do quick fixes from work anymore... Things like hardcoding results in to test things tend to get forgotten.

Anyways, file fixed... again.

Still doesn't seem to do it. Now it doesn't appear to draw any numbers at all, it changes from being NULL to just being blank in the database.

Which is exactly why I shouldn't break that promise...

Well, one more time, should work now.

Thanks...seems to be ok now.

I should add, whilst I'm in the thread pointing out bugs, that this modification is fantastic and it's proving very popular on my site.

My ultimate aim now, as I also have both v3arcade and ibproarcade, AND the inferno quiz running, is to install vBcredits and integrate all four via that, as they are all compatible.

One small template bug, in slots_main you have a rogue apostrophe. Up to date browsers seem to just ignore it, but in IE6 it makes the "Payout" block in slots have no background, instead of the thead background it is meant to have.

<td style='vertical-align:top;width:150px;text-align:center;' 'class='thead'><p style='font-size:18pt;'>Payout<br/><span style='font-size:36pt;font-weight:bold;' id='outcome'></span></p></td>

Change to:

<td style='vertical-align:top;width:150px;text-align:center;' class='thead'><p style='font-size:18pt;'>Payout<br/><span style='font-size:36pt;font-weight:bold;' id='outcome'></span></p></td>

The rogue apostrophe is just before class='thead'.

Really minor but worth noting.

Noted, and thanks

All you folks finding the bugs makes things go a helluva lot faster

One thing I've done on mine, which you might have noticed, is that everywhere there is a table that uses class='tborder', I have added cellspacing='$stylevar[cellspacing]' cellpadding=$stylevar[cellpadding]'.

What this does is make the tables exactly match the tables used elsewhere in vBulletin, which I like all mine to do. It does however make them take up slightly more room, but in all the cases I've seen there's plenty of space for that.

I think it makes it neater, but it's not technically a bug, it's a styling 'thing'.
