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**

where does the casino.php file go?

[Andrew Green]

main forum folder, same place as "index.php"

if it's the site in your sigline: http://www.rapfeinds.com/casino.php

Great Job Andrew.

One thing is that when members buy a lottery ticket, they don't have a way of getting back to the casino homepage. The navbar breadcrumb is forum and then under is blackjack, while they are in the lottery. Im using version 12.
Thanks !!

[Andrew Green]

Added to the list of things for the next update, which will be bigger and include a slots game as well as a few other configuration options

[EmpireZ]

Thanks.

I didn't have a navbar link either, maybe that had something to do with it.

Works great in 3.6.8!

The ticket price in the Lotto does not update. It's hung on $2.

Can we get a setting for the numbers that can be selected? I'd like to see "0"-"9" for a Pick Three, and the same for the number of balls. In Texas we have Pick Three, Just pick three numbers from "0" to "9". Better odds for a small group.

And a setting for how many ticket a User can buy per lottery. At $2 to $10 dollars, a user could buy an unlimited number of tickets.

For Video Poker and BlackJack, some custom button images would be nice.

A reset chips option for the users.

Thanks for this excellent hack and I'm looking forward to future updates. PM me your Paypal so I can send you a Donation.

This looks very interesting and promising. I'll upload when you finish beta testing. Multiplayer games is something my board eagerly awaits...

Question: is it possible to add a spades game or better yet, something like an Uno game? My members would never log off if we had those two games...

It will when the current draw ends, changing the settings effects the next draw, but the one that is already running finishes before anything changes.

20 and 3 is as low as it goes right now, but allowing lower numbers shouldn't be a problem. 10 seems to mess up the payouts though, it ends up paying 135% or so over time, 15 is still good though

And a setting for how many ticket a User can buy per lottery. At $2 to $10 dollars, a user could buy an unlimited number of tickets.

So you want a cap? Like no more then X tickets? ( I don't really see a reason to limit tickets to be honest, I can go to the corner store and buy as many as I like)

For Video Poker and BlackJack, some custom button images would be nice.

Yes, but it was make everything work first, then make it pretty

A reset chips option for the users.

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

I'd have to do some research, No idea what spades is and has been a long time since I played Uno...

But Poker will come first regardless as I figure there is more interest for that and I've already written a few of the pieces for it

Any idea when this next version will come out? This weekend perhaps? Will it be out of beta? I really want to install this, just waiting patiently. looks good what you have done with it so far.
