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**

Thanks in advance...

Yes, it seems so, according to Google Adsense / Adwords TOS:

Gambling content

AdSense publishers aren't permitted to place Google ads on sites with gambling or casino-related content. In other words, if your site accepts money or allows users to place bets in exchange for an opportunity to earn cash or other prizes, then it's unacceptable to place Google ads on your site. Please note that this policy also prohibits the placement of Google ads on sites that link to online gambling sites

.

We need to move this plugin to a sub-directory so we can add access controls and permissions; however, we noticed that so much of the directory structure is hard coded into the PHP code and HTML templates.

Has anyone done this?

Yeah but are you sure this applies for "virtual money"? (that's what this mod uses)


I think it only applies for real money but I could be wrong...

[imported_silkroad]

That is not what Google's policy says. The policy is clear and distinct.

[Stifmeister2]

That would also mean that having ibparcade games like poker etc would prevent me from using Adsense?? That's pretty dumb imo..

You're fine, although their automated flagging system might catch you. The site I use to demo / get feedback vbgaming.org uses adsense and the casino is the primary purpose of the site. I did get flagged once, emailed google and they removed the flag. However other boards using it never had any problem, but vbgaming.org is pretty much nothing but "gambling" related content, none of it real money, so no problem.

No different then having a arcade with casino flash games (blackjack, roulette, etc.)

You need the user group id (the number), not name.

New version should be out in the next couple weeks, here is the demo (requires sign in)

This error effected casino_bet_stats.bet which is datatype int(11) and also casino_bet_stats.won, also an int(11). user.credits is datatype double. FYI.

We have not been able to reproduce the error.

If you have a copy of the error fire it over to admin@vbgaming.org

You got some big numbers in there, I'll change the datatypes in the next update if that was the cause. If you look at his stats do they seem "wrong" for that game?

More "casual" card games are something I am considering, but they aren't at the top of the list.

New release brings in more rules for texas hold'em and Chess, Next will be other poker variations (5-card draw, 7-card stud) and additional ranked strategy games (ex. Go, etc)

Use the user group ID, not user group Name. You are entering "Admin1" as a usergroupID, it should be the ID number associated to that usergroup
