Video Poker, Opera application V1.1 Jun 8, 2009 4:30:30 AM

A video poker widget with several common game variations


Play five different variations of Video Poker, a casino favourite since 1979. Using this widget won't cost you a cent, but with an included strategy trainer, it just might help increase your edge at the real machines! My first new widget in over two and a half years. Hope you like it :smile:

Included games are:

  • Jacks or Better
  • Bonus Poker
  • Double Bonus Poker
  • Double Double Bonus Poker
  • Deuces Wild


Version 1.3
  • Updates for changes in the Opera widgets security specification
  • New icons
  • Fixed bug where widget would hang on a certain card combo
  • Fix audio pop at the end of the beep wav

@ Benjamin Joffe: Thanks for the error report, I'll look into it! Yup, the cards are a modification of a free set, so these are usable in the same fashion.

As for the 3x shuffling, are you making fun of my OCD? :D

Oh, btw. in the following code there is no need to shuffle the deck more than once, it's purely random by then ;p

/* ****************************************************************
* Shuffle the deck n times
*
*/
this.shuffle = function(n) {
for (var n = n || 3; n--;) {
for (var i = this.deck.length - 1, j, k; i > 0; i--) {
j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
k = this.deck;
this.deck = this.deck[j];
this.deck[j] = k;
}
}
};

Nice widget, looks very clean.
Are those card designs free to use? I'm making a card playing app and am after some good looking free cards...
Occasionally all the buttons go permanently grey, and the widget must be refreshed, appears to be a bug:

Timeout thread: delay 800 ms

: The widget is designed entirely from scratch, but should play exactly the same as any casino video poker simulator.

I built the widget and I have never gotten a Royal even after testing for 1000s of hands :frown:
