Slot Machine

[Zulu]

Summary:
We have been running this slotmachine on our shard for a couple of weeks. This version is cleaned up, removed a bunch of the images and balanced the odds so players could win more often.

If you get 3 magic hats, then you get a magic show bonus. You can win a bunch of different items and cash.

This is based on actual Las Vegas algorithms and the jackpot, can't be won multi-times a day.

This is based on a partially working script that was posted to this forum, I have lost the person's name who posted it.

Please becareful when editing the script, the modifier is adjustable (32,64,128,256,512), but you need ot change the virtual wheel locations or you will get errors.

******
Updates
******
This version does not support the custom verdata graphics. I will release another version when this had been tested for a few more weeks.

Description:


Installation:
Download and copy to your custom folder.

The reason you get errors on the gambler system: It's the way I made the custom card bool. The warnings will not cause any problems and in the new version of gambler that is fixed.

Thanks yet again

I have fixed the zip file, but here is the change...

at line 120 add
if ( !from.InRange( machine.Location, 4 ) )
return;

after
if (!from.Alive)
return;

*******************
should look like

if (!from.Alive)
return;

if ( !from.InRange( machine.Location, 4 ) )
return;

Zulu,

Looking good, but I never seem to win. I get lots of doubles, but it never pays me 1000 gold, per:

Match any two:
1 Thousand Gold

[TomC]

Just a heads up on this one. There doesn't seem to be any consistency on when I win or not.

For example, one time I got

blue potion/red potion/blue potion

Won nothing, another time I got it I won 2500.

Another time I got blue pot/ blue pot/ blue pot and I got 2500.

Weird...

If you match, the background goes grey.

$2500 - match any 3 blue potions OR match any 3 red potions. I tried to put different potions in the view.

$1000 - match 2 crystal balls OR match 2 burners.
-the any 2 means any 2 spots.

Is that clear as mud?

I have updated the instructions to see if that makes things more clear.

The odds are for the house

If the slot machine would pay on double on everything the odds would in favor of players.

The magic bonus show, players can win custom armor.

works great, very nice work.

Well I have testet the slotmachine with razor......it turns out that if you like me put 60k in your bag, no matter how long I try the player (me) never gets the backpack emptyed for monny, but alwayes seem to get more and more gold insteed.....

[Fury]

really, i tried with 100k and won quite a few but in the end the house always won.. seems pretty close to an actual casino slot from what i saw.

[bleis]

Another thing is, no player can hold the large amount of monny won, they drop to the ground unless your staff

Ok, so I'm a complete RunUO noob. I was able to add 1 script add-on cause it was just dropping a file.

First, the custom directory doesnt exist, so I created it in the scripts folder.

Second, once I restart the server, I can't seem to find the command to place the slot machine. I know how to add items, but I dont know the item id for the slot machine.

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

[TomC]

Well, I was able to lose 60K gold in about 5 minutes, and I tested this 5 times. One 60K session, I won 5K a few times, and I won something from the magical hats, but that money was gone quickly as well.

It is a great gold sink, that is for sure, but I think most players will end up avoiding it, once they realize what it does.... steals your gold.

They are the true test. As staff testing goes, works great, looks great.

Its rather easy to find in any script what you gotta say to add the item look here

//slotmachine by zulu, updated Feb 2004
using System;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Gumps;
using Server.Network;

namespace Server.Items
{
   public class SlotMachine : Item  <---- THERE YOU GOT THE NAME
   {
         private int Slot1Graphic = 3823;
         private int Slot2Graphic = 3823;
         private int Slot3Graphic = 3823;

         private int Slot1_x = 108;

now you found the name just say [add slotmachine

The sequence for when you win 1000 gold on the "match any two" is seemingly random. It is always a pair of items, but which pair varies. Sometimes you get a pair and win nothing. Since this is the most common winnings, it will frustrate players that are unable to see any patterns at all. It is this issue that makes the game an excessive gold sink. Money goes quickly, because half of your 1K winnings are never registered.

Again, great script, but due to the winnings for pairs being all screwy, players will get turned off quickly to this great gambling game.

Hope all this research on this script helps some.

I have found a bug in the script and I posted an update.

the fix is on line 242
if (Slot2 == 4 || Slot2 == 5) // crystal ball, burner
