Quote: harrisThe reason the Ante box isn't highlighted is because the spaces where you put your bets only have color when you can add money to them (not the case when you choose to rebet the same amount as last time). I will continue to improve the user interface but I don't think you should view me as a "competitor" :) I am open to collaborating with anyone

For that matter, there are also members here who are able to comprehend that when someone offers something helpful, but the recipient rejects it, that kind of dampens the first person's enthusiasm to be helpful.
I'm sure your reply will be witty camapl, but I'm blocking you so I won't see it.
I have not added the Flush Bonus Table or Straight Flush Bonus Table side bets yet. Just the pay tables are displayed for now. There are a couple other side bets on the website whose pay tables are shown but you cannot bet them yet. All of these side bets should be added in the next couple days.
I will completely change it in the future as I have a plan to overhaul the display of the chips, betting areas, cards, and dice over the next couple weeks which should make everything much more visually-appealing and intuitive. First I am going to add Blackjack and some Blackjack variants though which is what I am working on now.
This issue should be fixed now :)

To tell you the truth, Ive tried to learn Baccarat in various casinos but never learned it, especially the rules part. I learned it finally from this website.
If anyone wants me to add their game or would like to be involved in the future of the project, please contact me.
If the Wizards of Odds staff are reading, Id like to help make demo games for the website if collaboration is possible.

I get that. It's just complicated enough that I've never really bothered, I just trust the mini-bacc dealers to draw correctly.
Harris: In the spirit of helpfulness, I would suggest that if the Craps implementation ever comes to reality, make sure to include a "breakage warning" when an "improper" bet won't be paid fully (because the base bet doesn't satisfy the necessary ratio requirements).
I really haven't looked at the dealer side of the games, but I expect some practice on breakage handling would be useful.

Hi Harris,
I have THREE Blackjack Side-bets that I would like to add to your site. You can also find them at the Wizard of Odds site (see below).
BTW, they are already being played in some Online-casinos.
P.S. Once you have done it, I will add them to my website: NewTableGames.com
* Ten-20® Bonus-Blackjack ©2015. Ten20Bonus.com / Math at Wizard of Odds: Ten20WoO.com
* Perfect-11® Bonus-Blackjack ©2015. Perfect11Bonus.com / Math at Wizard of Odds: Perfect11WoO.com
* Picture-Perfect® Bonus-Blackjack ©2015. PicturePerfectBonus.com / Math at Wizard of Odds: PicturePerfectWoO.com
*** Also on my game Casino Hold'em, there are TWO Side-bets (AA+) and (Casino RAZZ).
You can find them at the end of this page: Math at Wizard of Odds: CasinoHoldemWoO.com
* Casino RAZZ® Low-Hand-Bonus ©2012. CasinoRAZZ.com / Math at Wizard of Odds: CasinoRAZZWoO.com
On Heads Up Hold'em, my holding was a 5h2h and I made both a straight and a flush. My Trips wager paid off at 4:1 for the straight rather than at 7:1 for the flush.
gordonm888: I'm 99% sure I just fixed that glitch, if you see it again a screenshot would be helpful for me to replicate/solve any glitches that may arise :)
mrcasinogames: I know you've invented over twenty blackjack side bets which is really impressive, but honestly I don't see what the point of adding them to my site would be if they are already found online and only played online. If people are using Casino Razz Bonus in real life, I will add that side bet later, though I am not quite sure what "suited 5 high" means on the pay table.

Hi harris,
"suited 5 high" = Ace to 5 Suited (Ace,2,3,4,5 Suited).
Sorry to disappoint you but someone already did a study which shows that perfect play with information from six players would only reduce the house edge by 0.5%
I played some BJ on your site, and I have a few comments.
First of all, the house rules are not specified:
1. Number of decks used (looks like one, since I did not see any duplicate cards)?
2. Dealer action on Soft 17?
3. Maximum permissible splits?
4. Resplit aces?
5. Double after split?
Additionally, I noticed splitting is not offered when the player has a hard 20 that consists of two different ranks. In other words, I could split QQ, but not JK.
When I did split, I noticed I received a card on each hand BEFORE deciding how to play the first hand: I have never seen this dealing procedure.
In terms of the user interface, may I suggest that you fix the position of the STAND, HIT, SPLIT, and DOUBLE buttons on the screen and simply gray out those that are not currently applicable? I made a few input errors because the HIT and STAND buttons moved as the hand was played.
Hope this helps!
Dog Hand
Thanks for the feedback. You were supposed to be able to split JK but there was a glitch in my code, which I have now fixed. In the future I might make this optional, since some casinos do not do it this way. I changed the dealing procedure regarding splits too. Additionally the button positions are more fixed now. Let me know if you have any other advice :)
Right now the rules are the following:
1 deck, Dealer hits soft 17, DAS, and you can only split once.
I will definitely make all these rules and more (plus side bets) adjustable in the future. The first rules to be implemented will be soft/hard17, das, and reno doubling.
Just to let you know, my website uses a "continuous shuffling machine" but I could change that in the future if people really care.

Does it shuffle the entire deck at the end of each round, or does it shuffle the discards and put them on the bottom of the stub?
A player/dealer makes their best 4-card poker hand out of their respective five cards, but this important skill is not demonstrated in your current version at all. Please consider adding this skill.
Basically I am saying, please tilt the 5th card to indicate you want to discard this particular one when making a decision.
I saw a couple videos of it online and it doesn't look like the player actually has to specify which card to discard - the dealer simply chose the best possible hand for them. Video 1 Video 2
If you really want I can let you select the card, but I haven't added "card selection" to my website yet... it will probably be added when I add Pai Gow Poker to the website :)
Blackjack and Variants
Done: Blackjack, Big Bet Blackjack
Todo: Zappit, Spanish 21, Blackjack Switch, Free Bet Blackjack, Down Under Blackjack, Double Down Madness
Baccarat
Done: Commission Baccarat, Nepal Baccarat, EZ Baccarat, BBQ Baccarat
Todo: Can't find any more to add for now
Poker-Related Games
Done: Jackpot Hold'Em, Ultimate Texas Hold'Em, Texas Hold'Em Bonus, Casino Hold'Em, Flop Poker, Mississippi Stud, Three Card Poker, 3 Shot Poker, Four Card Poker, Crazy 4 Poker, Dakota Duel Draw, Let It Ride, High Card Flush, Caribbean Stud Poker
Todo: DJ Wild, Criss Cross Poker, Double Draw Poker
Dice Games
Done: Banca Francesa
Todo: Craps, Sic Bo, Crapless Craps
Wheel Games
Done: Big Six
Todo: Roulette, Boule
Pai Gow Games
Done: None
Todo: Five Card Pai Gow, Pai Gow Poker, Face Up Pai Gow, Pai Gow Tiles, Asian Poker
Other Games
Done: Casino War
Todo: Knockout 52
Let me know if you can think of other games I should include
The hardest to add will be Craps and Roulette because of the layout, but Pai Gow Tiles will also be really hard
I fixed basically all the glitches that people mentioned here and then some more, redid the design, and added side bets to almost every game.
I hope this website helps you learn different games but I am not going to work more on the website until I get a job in the casino industry or somebody pays me. If you find a really big glitch let me know but until then I am not going to add any more games. I hope you understand... the website took a lot of my personal time and I need to get money and a girlfriend.
Peace be upon you all and thanks for the advice.

I just wanted to say that I'm impressed with this project you're doing. Looks good.
One minor critique. I got a 3:2 payout on an odd bet. It paid .5 and now my bankroll ends in .5. Those should be .50
And to give you a different answer to the email you sent me on 8/8, while I don't have any casino placements for my games, I'd be honored it you wanted to add them to your website.
If you ever get to craps, I'd suggest that after each roll, slowly/individually pay each bet, and leave the bet up.
Too many craps simulators, and even some online games and even craps machines in casinos, will pay all bets at once, and return the bet with the winnings.
That's not at all how it's done in the casino. Each bet it paid individually, and in a specific order. And most important, for place/buy and center action, the bets stay where they were. And there's also the off & on when a come bet wins with a new bet in the come box.
Just a short story about the Crazy 4 Poker game.
I haven't seen it in a long time, but did once about 15 years ago, at Foxwoods.
Nobody was playing, so I went up and asked the bored looking dealer how it works. He put his index finger on the felt saying, "You put your money down," he then open-palm slapped that spot, drawing his hand back, and continued, "and the casino makes it go away."
He did a great job of painting an ugly picture. I didn't play it that day and never saw it again.
1. Your site might have a future as a recreational site for casual gamblers to play these games for free. I've never seen so many free games offered on one site and the speed with which you program these and make revisions is truly impressive. However, if you try to monetize the site with ads you might run into intellectual property issues with those games that are patented. I don't know, maybe other forum members could advise you on that.
2. Harris, you are clearly a talented programmer. There must be dozens of directions to go to get employment and a lucrative career. The casino gaming industry is small stuff compared to the need for programmers in AI, science and technology, communications, etc.
I fixed the ".50" issue, thanks for bringing it up.
I added your game Pick A Suit to my website, with one of the side bets and multiple pay tables (if you want you can send me more pay tables for me to add). For anyone else reading, this is the last time I make someone's game for free out of the kindness of my heart :) If there are any major issues please let me know, I hope you like it :)
Personally I think the game has potential but if I had to give a piece of unsolicited advice it would be to separate some items on the pay tables (for example three of a kind and a straight flush could have slightly different payouts).
Honestly after some thought, I don't think I will add Craps for at least a year because of how complex and unstandardized the table layout situation is compared to any other casino game. Also I do not really like Craps that much compared to games that involve strategy.
Crazy 4 Poker has between a 3-4% house edge just like Three Card Poker and Four Card Poker so I don't know why that dealer was so negative about it. Maybe players are just bad at estimating what Crazy 4 Poker's basic strategy is.
Thanks very much for your kind words and "meta-level" comments.
I would probably have to ask permission if I want to make advertisement revenue, but I know someone who runs a similar website who got such permission. I'm not sure every inventor would like to give me permission though.
In my opinion, it would be ideal for me to merge my website with some established company since I do not have a way to share the site outside this forum.
And thanks for seeing potential in me when others do not.
THANKS!Quote: harrisDear DJTeddyBear

Ill check it out soon!
Actually, Ive been working on my pay tables. Both to verify the edge that I posted and to make the tables easier to understand.
I got inspired to do that because of the new game Im working on. Its called Pick A Wild Card. It adds a joker just like Pick A Suit, changing all the basic bets. The bonus and jackpots should be the same. But as I build my documentation and web pages, Im getting things confused.
So, yeah, Im gonna redesign the PAS pay tables too.
In fact, look for updates to all the Pick A ___ game documentation in a week or so.
Is it soon yet? 🤪Quote: DJTeddyBearIll check it out soon!link to original post
Looks good! Thanks again!
