When I visit:

https://wizardofodds.com/games/pai-gow-tiles/calculator/

I get an alert saying I need to update to the latest JRE.

This happens in both Firefox



And Safari



Whether I press cancel or OK, it brings me to the Java web site anyway.

I do have the latest version of java.



The applet for the calculator will not load because of this alert, and I cannot use the calculator.

I think it's that irritating tendency computers have for giving an error message that is nonsense.

I'm not having those problems so it probably was a fix for video poker I did thanks to a thread on that problem.

Here is the post,
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info/help/19145-java-support-for-advice-in-the-wizards-online-video-poker/#post384489

I followed this exactly and it solved the problem ... thank you BleedingChipsSlowly!

Same for the video poker strategy page. Don't make me do mafs like the Dark Ages!

it's because of this bit of code in the html:

if (!deployJava.versionCheck('1.8.0_10+'))
{
if (confirm("You need the latest Java(TM) Runtime Environment.\n\nWould you like to update now?"))
{
deployJava.returnPage = location.href;
deployJava.installLatestJRE();
}
}


it's looking for java version >1.8.0_10, when most of the rest of the world is still dealing with java 6/java 7.

I lowered the minimum version. Please try it again and let me know if it works.

Try loading the page and then refreshing it, as it sounds like your browser is using a cached version from before I made the change.

Cleared caches from both Safari and Firefox. Now when I visit https://wizardofodds.com/games/pai-gow-tiles/calculator/

I get redirected to http://java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp WITHOUT any pop-up message.

Just tried https://wizardofodds.com/games/pai-gow-tiles/calculator/ in Chrome, and I get the message, because obviously Chrome doesn't have Java running.
