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**

Since most issues seem to be related to IE, here's what I did:

In casino template casino_index_main, I added this:

Find:

$navbar

Under add:

<!-- please use firefox -->
<!--[If IE]> 

<div align="center"><h1><font color="red">WARNING!!!</font></h1><br />
<h2> You are using Internet Explorer! You will probably have problems in here. To avoid problems, please use firefox. <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com">Get it here.<br /></a>
</h2>
(otherwise you may lose your money!)
<![endif]-->
</div>

<!-- /please use firefox -->

Now anyone using IE will see a big warning sign when they enter the casino.

If you are having consistent problems with IE send me a link and I will have a look, I've yet to be able to duplicate it across several sites using IE 6 & 7, firefox, opera, epiphany and even Opera on a Wii

I personally don't have problems - but I don't use IE.

That's just a trend I'm seeing from my members.

[wolfyman]

can you help me out with that sql operation?

[Andrew Green]

UPDATE __user SET casino_cash = casino_cash + _____;

If you have a table prefix, add that. You'll also need to fill in the field name for vbookie cash, and flip them around if you prefer to use it.

[wolfyman]

I plug this into my sql query in admincp?

UPDATE __user SET casino_cash = casino_cash + _____;

And that will add all casino cash to the vbookie cash field?

(So if someone had 10,000 casino cash, and now they have 5,000 vbookie cash, they should end up with 15,000 cash in one of the fields.)

[Andrew Green]

No, it will add the vbookie cash into the casino_cash field, and doing it through phpmyadmin would be your best bet. You also need to fill in the blanks

Silly question but, can vbcredits be used with this addon.

Hi,

Just updated and I have the following issues:

Lottery wasn't working (never had it working before) so i ran it in scheduled tasks and it started working but has a jackpot of $286137. Is that normal and can I change the amount?

Sports pool has no events in it but under the 'open events, recent events etc' links it has an amount of $13322. Is that normal?

How does the sports pool work with the groups? I have no idea about this type of gambling and my members have said they'd like to bet on the super bowl. Can any one please give my an idea how to set this up?

Thanks

The amount is based on the settings, odds of winning and ticket price. If you change the odds the jackpot changes to reflect that.

Sports pool has no events in it but under the 'open events, recent events etc' links it has an amount of $13322. Is that normal?

ACP->Casino->Games settings->Sportspool

Add the user group ID's you want to be able to add / edit events there, then on the sportspool main page those user groups will have a "add event" link.

The number you are seeing is your cash amount.
