yeah it really is too easy to win. The dealer will always call your bet even if he has nothing. That probably can't be fixed though.

Yeah, I'm no Artificial Intelligence maker. I just figured if the dealer always had nothing and always folded, the person playing would catch that and always bet when they had nothing. Plus it would get aggravating if the dealer never called when you actually had a good hand. Plus I don't want him peaking at the other players hand when making his calculations.

Try the new Update and you will see harder AI, fixed flushes and high cards. A masterpiece! lol Casino Poker 1-6.pbp (12.58 KB)

How do I make this game harder for my members? Or at least cut down on the winnings. I've got one member who seems to be super good at it and now has £1,044,673,619,121,330.00 and that's after he donated 1 million to others!

Check out the new update

Hi,

Is there any chance this game will be updated to multiplayer for at least two players?

Thanks.

I got a bugfix out for this plugin on the main page

Has this been updated to allow player vs player yet?

Sadly no, that would require almost a complete rewrite of how it works. However war-cards is player vs player and just fixed it up.

I was pleased to see a poker game in the list, P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓ but any chance of playing against other members? That's where the fun is.

I really wish I had that option. However proboards doesn't have a live connection between users at all. Like if you give a user money, they won't see it until they refresh the page. If you post on the shoutbox, it may take a while before other people can see it. (unless you hit the refresh button) So it's not that I don't want to, it's that proboards isn't the place where it can be done efficiently. And they say you can't depend on outside sources for your plugins to function, so I can't hook up a server that can provide those live connection services. That's why It's something that can't really be done right now. If you look at the chess plugin, (wormopolis) he uses a thread key for people to take turns posting on a board to provide that connection, no where near the speed at which poker needs to be played at. 

So it's not like I'm not for the idea, it's just that war-cards is a simple game. You say when you are ready. You sync the cards between users and your good. And that in itself was a buggy, pain in the butt to setup/maintain, and sometimes you have to refresh your browser because it seems to magically stop working. (This was tracked to a server-sided issue beyond my control)

I'm going to try something different when I develop my animal rpg USER VS USER battling system. This 2 player system should sync multiple stats/move uses etc. 

If it goes well, i'm sure I'll incorporate this technology into my other card plugins. 
It just goes to show that proboards has an api, but the designer has to figure out inventive ways to use it to accomplish the task at hand. Cause it's never "that easy."

Wow. Good answer. Thanks very much and well done with what you've done already.

P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓, so this is a problem throughout your casino plugins, I think, so I'm posting here but it pertains to Black Jack, War, Prize Wheel, and Slots. Not positive.
The "max number of times you can play a day," is that per account or per computer? I'm fairly certain it's per computer and it stores it in cookies, which is a problem for my personal forum. On my forum, human "characters" (it's a roleplay site) can gamble, and people have multiple human characters. Each character has its own account. So if I log into my Bob account, gamble til it's maxed out, then switch to my Greg account for his turn to gamble, I suddenly can't because Bob maxed it out in my cookies. This is a rather big problem for me. I can't remove limits entirely because people would win too much but I can't make it so only one character out of potentially several can gamble...
Is there any other way to store if an ACCOUNT, not computer, has or hasn't gambled that would let multiple accounts from the same computer gamble until they max out? Using a key, for example, instead of cookies? I know this isn't your problem and if it takes a huge amount of effort, you definitely don't have to indulge me, but I would really appreciate any assistance you can offer, man.

They are managed through cookies which is per computer, except for the prize wheel I think I made a key version that works per account. I also think I had an idea that tied the cookies to user account numbers but I never implemented it because ....effort was required and I've been working on my game. But at the moment I've been bombarded with life issues. Aka, laptop died with my information on it, car needs to be licensed, needs new tires and an oil change. Church tomorrow. Some activities need planning. Work. Etc. Etc. But It's something that needs to be added to these plugins and I planned on doing it eventually anyway.

You are PHENOMENAL, thank you so much, P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓! I definitely didn't expect you to produce something so quickly. This is going to make things run much smoother on my forum. Your haste is extremely appreciated!

P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓ Were there any changes made recently to make the game harder than it used to be, out of curiosity? Dealer used to never have anything better than pairs, now suddenly having full houses lol.

Yes in previous versions his hand was not properly throwing away cards, well not exactly, he was drawing new cards but they were never factored into his new hand.
So when I updated it 4-5 months ago, It found this bug and corrected it so that he now throws away and draws new cards and factors them into winning. (which fixed a bug that it didn't recognize flushes from the computer properly)
This made his chances of getting better hands by 75% (as it was originally intended)
