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**

Has anyone seen where you can now edit the sports events? I have the group numbers set in the field and put on a test event but could not see where to edit them

Probably a user error but it would be cool if someone at least knew where to look

How about a "All in" button

Im currentl using the vbcredits intergration which is embedded in the coding and for some reason when I click on " more Stats " under casino.php, under " Richest Players " the Amount field is blank although the display of the richest usernames is correct. It just doesnt show the amount but order of the richest members is correct, a bit wierd....lol

same here, also using vbcredits

To be honest I just don't see it translating well, there really is no need to have that as a multiplayer game as it is played against the house, not against each other. As a single player game maybe, but I can't say I see much appeal in turning this into a multiplayer game, there are better choices for that.

Don't want it like some sites have where it's text only and just tells you what number has been spun. But giving it a graphical interface won't be easy.

I did some experimenting with it a while back, it would likely have a stationery wheel and a ball spinning around it. Without going to flash that's probably the closest I can get.

Not a bug, as I understand it a blackjack should beat a soft 21, going either direction.

On the open events page you should have a "add" button at the bottom. Beside each event you should have a "edit" and at the top there should be a 4th item called "settle bets"

That would be absolutely fine from my perspective.

I'd would also say single player is better than multi player. Multiplayer is nice, as with Holdem, but it's insanely complicated at times and also involves getting everyone "wanting to play" at the same time, which is often tricky. Roulette lends itself to single player in a forum environment, IMO.

As for Flash, I'd be fine if it was done in that. My site has two arcades and everyone's used to the fact that our games section requires Flash enabled browsers, so from a purely selfish angle, I'd be fine if Flash was used. But the way you've described it without Flash sounds fine.

Just a suggestion here but texas holdem dosnt wait long for people to click ready so alot of the time somone gets left out can it be made that the dealer has to hit a start button when everyone says they are ready in the shotbox or if not everyone in there ither hits reay or sit out that way it would be a more controlled inviroment ??

cheers and top hack m8 keep it up.

I too have the same issue using vbcredits


Also I would do my best to not have any casino games in flash because people have a better ability to cheat then with javascript/ajax.

Also having the ability to set the amount of decks for black jack would be great. And for the deck to only shuffle when the stack has been gone through instead of every hand.

Well crap, I am not sure why this one thing is so hard for me. Of course, it has to be the thing that people want. I am not seeing either one of those.

I hate to uninstall and re load because a bunch of folks have bets in there...not sure what to do to get those. Here is a screen shot of my betting pool page.



I'm not seeing the edit or the add
