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**

Wow! Really? I've been installing and upgrading from the very first versions, I've never had a problem, I mean there are things that work or don't work sometimes, but I've never had a problem with install. Thing is, everyone's set up is different and the problems arise that are setup specific, that's how things get fixed, so deal with the fact that this is Beta, its FREE and that Andrew is doing the best he can to fix issues as they are found.

too popular with my members!

I left it open to all over the weekend and apart from some glitches (especially the texas) everything went fine. I restricted the texas to 6 seats and downed the reload to 1000.
People played but complained a lot about freezing and odd glitches.

By tuesday I had to restrict casino access to about 50 members as it was taking a hammering.

The poker is the main thing that needs work - i fill the tables no problem but thats where the trouble begins!

It's a great mod and i'm looking forward to developments/fixes.

Cheers

I really don't understand why some posters have to be so rude. I really don't.

I shall refrain from launching into one of my big spiels about it, since this isn't the place. But suffice to say I have had an elegant sufficiency of it!

Thank you Andrew, once again, for yet another fantastic update, and I love the roulette. This mod is amazing work.

Can you give me some specifics?

Generally speaking, they're 14 and know everything.

I'll pm you a link to the casino forum and you can read it at your leisure (if at all) - i've asked for user feedback/screenhots etc and have told them it's in development - i sent you a user/pw a while back(either on here or vbgaming.) Might be a decent site to load test a bit.

I haven't personally played that much.

I'm not posting links publicly unfortunately but if I can help in the testing/dev then great.

Andrew, this is by far the best mod I have ever messed with in vbulletin. Thanks again.

I do have one request though. Is there a way that I can define the winner of a pool and make it more obvious once the event has been settled?

Example: (this is how it currently is after the event has bee settled)

Maybe change the winner's font color:

Attachment 72518

Or even better, change the color of the table cells:

Attachment 72519


Keep up the good work. Thanks again.
