Hi All,
I like blackjack, hate the crooked single player tables I come across everywhere. I'm currently putting together a table that more closely approximates the real casino experience, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in the project (or indeed whether it's been done before).
The table itself contains a minimal amount of blackjack code, per-se. Rather, it is a simple card dealing mechanism, which requires a live dealer to operate. The point of this is to capture the social aspect of real casino blackjack, including friends helping one another and dealer banter. Constructing the table this way will hopefully go a ways toward reassuring players that the game is not crooked (I may make certain portions of the code, publically visible, specifically around the shoe code).
These are the main features of the build so far:
-Completely manual and dealer driven. (Dealer deals cards to positions manually, performs payouts manually). Players can indicate stands or hits by "tapping" areas of the table, (exact details around this still being worked out)
-Support for up to 7 players at once
-Shoe which supports a variable number of decks, with variable cut off (within script memory limitations, currently supports up to about 9 decks in a shoe).
-Dealer can manually 'burn' cards.
-Low prim count (around the 30 prim mark)
It's going quite well so far, and most of the main problems have been addressed. If anyone is interested in having a look or giving feedback, please give's a shout.
