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 it add the extra chip? In the admin CP, or the casino itself?

it add the extra slots in the admin cp and because of that theres extra chips in the casinoon ther forum to.

Everybody having problems after installing 3.6.10pl1 standby... i'm slowly getting the casino working under this version of vB. problem appears to be new security measures they put in place in this ver of vB. would also expect same problems in 3.7x - is anybody successfully using casino under vB 3.7?

edit: I have all the games w/ the exception of the Lotto functioning at this time.

When you uninstall this mod for some reason it leaves the database tables
so when you reinstall you have a lot of duplicate chips etc....

What you need to do is uninstall, delete all the casino tables
in your database manually (backup first) then install and you will be fine :up:

I am running 3.7.1 and it works fine for me

That did not work becuase after I uninstall the casino I check the database and there is no casino fields. and prior to that uninstall I checked and theres no duplicates. something else is wrong. because in the admin thing it shows more than 1 check mark for each cuip, which cant be a database issue.
could it be another issue, maybe a Languages & Phrases issue? or perhaps a change in a file doesnt unistall correctly? ir coud it have somethign to do with the changes vb 3.7.1 made?

becuase i didnt have this issue in 3.7.0

Hm. i'm not sure what to think now, however i do know that i've found the root cause of the problem. it's odd that it would still work in 3.7.1 though. is anybody successfully running it on a 3.6.10pl1?

This hack should be awarded the "v3Arcade award for spectacularly abandoned modifications".

It's a real shame. One minute it was mod of the month, fantastic support, and even had its own website.

Now there's not a peep from Andrew at all, and the website is swarming with stupid spammers.

A monument to what might have been.

Same here...when I moved to 3.7 Gold the casino carried on working.

I do know some people had issues with 3.6.10 though which only seemed to get sorted with an upgrade to 3.7.0. That doesn't seem to make sense, but several people reported it.

I never used 3.6.10 as I've been running 3.7 since Beta 2.

I am currently on 3.7.0 and the casino has always worked fine - I shall be leaving my next upgrade until 3.7.2 and I'll report back to confirm if it carries on working on that.

That is probably our best bet since Andrew seems now to have left us.
