Changing Blackjack And Poker Bet Amounts

Poker

Poker_Payouts.xtbl is the file that you need to edit

Changing The Bet Amount

Here is the original bet amounts:
Code:
<Max_Bet>1000</Max_Bet>
        <Bet_Increment>10</Bet_Increment>
        </Poker_Payouts>

As you can see the bet limit is $1000.00
and you can increase your bet in increments of $10.00
This works fine when you don't have a lot of money to bet with,
but if you need/want to increase your money more quickly - or if you
just want to be a high roller - then you can increase your bet amount by
increasing the Max_Bet line.

In a vanilla game as well as most modded games your cache amount is
$20,000,000.00. Since it is not (usually) possible to go above that
amount then that should be considered the high limit for your bets.

NOTE: If you win any amount that raises your cash total above
$20,000,000.00 your counter will reset to zero and start rebuilding from there.

Remember that when you raise your bet limit to also increase the Bet_Increment.

                </Hand>
            <Hand>
                <Index>5</Index>
                <Display_Name>DIVERSION_POKER_FULL_HOUSE</Display_Name>
                <Multiplier>7</Multiplier>
                </Hand>
            <Hand>
                <Index>6</Index>
                <Display_Name>DIVERSION_POKER_FOUR_OF_A_KIND</Display_Name>
                <Multiplier>10</Multiplier>
                </Hand>
            <Hand>
                <Index>7</Index>
                <Display_Name>DIVERSION_POKER_STRAIGHT_FLUSH</Display_Name>
                <Multiplier>10</Multiplier>
                </Hand>
            <Hand>
                <Index>8</Index>
                <Display_Name>DIVERSION_POKER_ROYAL_FLUSH</Display_Name>
                <Multiplier>25</Multiplier>
                </Hand>
            </Hands>

As you can see the bigger the hand the bigger the payout

Code:
<Hand>
                <Index>0</Index>
                <Display_Name>DIVERSION_POKER_JACKS_OR_HIGHER</Display_Name>
                <Multiplier>1</Multiplier>
                </Hand>

The index line marks the its place in the pay chart on the machine itself
Display name is the name of the payout for that winning hand
Multiplier is how much of a multiplier you receive for winning that hand.
(which is based on the bet that you have made.)

So if you have a $1,000.00 bet then you will get your bet back
As your multiplier increases so will the amount won. therefore if you were to
replace the 1 with a 5 then you would win 5,000.00
Blackjack

In the Blackjack.xtbl file you can change the Min_Bet, Max_Bet
and Bet_increment values

Code:
    <Blackjack>
        <Name>Blackjack</Name>
        <_Editor>
            <Category>Entries</Category>
            </_Editor>
        <Locations></Locations>
        <Min_Bet>5</Min_Bet>
        <Max_Bet>500</Max_Bet>
        <Bet_Increment>5</Bet_Increment>
        </Blackjack>

They are increased in the same manner as the poker bets, but I haven't found the
file that contains the Blackjack payouts so those can't be changed.
 
wow, nice and simple! confident you'll have covered every small activity the game has to offer (of which there are many)... it helps that xtbl structures stay the same in future games too
 
Thank you Reina3. I appreciate it when people take the time to view my work, even if it is just a simple tutorial like this one and you have always been not only kind enough to do so, but also to offer constructive advice, which I also appreciate.
