This page explains how players use the casino feature in the shop.

Navigation path:

  • Shop โ†’ Casino

One casino for the whole organizationโ€‹

You play with the same balance on every server of an organization, so the casino counts across all of them: daily limits, spin limits and free games are counted for you on all servers together, the slot jackpot is one pool, and the stakes and limits are the same everywhere. Server admins set them under Admin โ†’ Settings โ†’ Casino; a change there applies to every server of the organization. The casino day starts at midnight in the timezone of the organization's oldest server.

Game selectionโ€‹

If more than one casino game is available to your player on the server, opening Shop โ†’ Casino first shows a game selection page.

If only one casino game is available, dzbot opens that game directly.

Slot Machineโ€‹

If your player has the casino.access_slots right, the casino area offers a slot machine with three reels and a jackpot shared by everybody on every server of the organization.

The slot machine page shows:

  • Jackpot (one pool for the whole organization)
  • Your balance
  • Free Spins (all free games you can use right now)
  • Latest wins feed with the slot wins of everybody on the server
  • Payouts & odds, which lists what each result pays

What a spin pays:

  • Three diamonds: the whole jackpot.
  • Three of any other symbol: 10 ร— your stake.
  • Two matching symbols: 2 ร— your stake.
  • Anything else: nothing.

Every reel is drawn on the server, independently and with equal odds for all twelve symbols. Regular wins are paid out of the jackpot too, so a win can be smaller than shown above if the jackpot is almost empty.

The first time you open the casino you are asked to confirm that you are an adult and that the games use virtual currency only.

Wheel of Fortuneโ€‹

If your player has the casino.access_wheel_of_fortune right and the server configured wheel prizes plus either free spins or a paid spin price, the casino area also offers a dedicated Wheel of Fortune page.

Important behavior:

  • The page focuses on the wheel itself and keeps technical details out of the main presentation.
  • You spin the wheel with the Spin button below it. The wheel itself does not react to touch, so scrolling past it never starts a spin.
  • The remaining number of wheel spins is shown above the wheel.
  • Slice size reflects the configured prize odds only when the server enables Display odds on Wheel of Fortune. Otherwise all slices appear with the same size.
  • The server decides the winning slice when you spin.
  • Money prizes are credited immediately.
  • Item prizes go into your cart and are delivered with your next order. Winning the same item again raises the quantity of the existing cart line instead of adding a new one.
  • Blank / no-win slices can appear if the server configured them.
  • Individual prizes can trigger no celebration, a normal win celebration, or the jackpot celebration.
  • The available number of wheel spins is limited by the server's configured interval (day, week, or month).
  • If you have no wheel spins left for the current interval, the wheel is locked.
  • If the server sets Wheel of Fortune Spin Limit to 0, the Wheel of Fortune does not appear.
  • Below the wheel, Your recent wins lists your last 10 spins: what you won, when, and where it went (balance, cart, free games).

Blackjackโ€‹

If your player has the casino.access_blackjack right, the casino area also offers a dedicated blackjack table.

Important behavior:

  • You choose your bet before dealing.
  • The selected bet must stay within the server's configured Blackjack Min Bet and Blackjack Max Bet.
  • The dealer's hidden card is not revealed until the hand is resolved.
  • You can Hit, Stand, or Double Down.
  • Double Down is available only on the opening two cards.
  • Double Down doubles the current hand bet, gives exactly one more card, and then resolves the hand.
  • Regular wins pay 1:1.
  • An opening blackjack pays 3:2.
  • An opening dealer blackjack resolves immediately. It beats any non-blackjack player hand, and a player blackjack pushes against it.
  • A push returns the current bet.
  • The dealer stands on all 17 values, including soft 17.

Placing a betโ€‹

The stake per spin is fixed by the server and shown as Bet on the machine; you cannot change it. Pull the handle or press the spin button (or use Auto Spin).

If free games are enabled, they are used automatically before paid spins. The daily free games reset at midnight on the organization's clock and count on all of its servers together.

Paid spins are limited per player within any 24 hours. When you reach the limit, the machine tells you that no spins are left; free games can still be played.

If you win additional casino free games from the Wheel of Fortune, dzbot stores them on your player profile until you use them. Daily server free games are still consumed first, and the stored bonus free games are only used after the daily free games are exhausted.

Auto Spinโ€‹

Auto Spin repeats spins for you until you stop it or your balance is too low. It pauses while a win is celebrated, switches itself off when you hit the jackpot, and your browser remembers whether it was on.

Rouletteโ€‹

If your player has the casino.access_roulette right, the casino area also offers a roulette table. Unlike every other game here, it is shared: one wheel for every server of the organization, everyone playing at the same table.

  • The table sleeps until somebody bets. Your first stake starts the round.
  • A round is about 55 seconds: roughly 40 seconds to bet, then the ball, then the result.
  • You can see who else is at the table and what they have on every field.
  • When the ball lands, a short feed pops up in the top right with what everyone at the table won or lost that round, biggest win first.
  • Pick an amount, then tap fields. Your chips show with a dashed edge until you press Confirm; only then are they on the table. Chips you have not confirmed when bets close are not placed. Undo and Clear take back unconfirmed chips first. Repeat last round places straight away.
  • The wheel is American, with 0 and 00. The full board is playable, including splits, corners and the five-number bet.
  • The table lays itself out for the screen it is on: the wheel above the board wherever both fit, and beside it on a phone held sideways. Where they have to share, the board moves out of the wheel's way on its own when bets close โ€” drag its edge or flick it to move it yourself.
  • Your stake leaves your balance once, when bets close, and winnings come back as a single payment.
  • Where the server has voice and text chat switched on, the table has a chat room for everyone at the wheel.

Pokerโ€‹

If your player has the casino.access_poker right, the casino area also offers poker: No-Limit Texas Hold'em at tables with up to six seats. Here you play against the other players, not against the house.

  • The lobby lists the open tables of every server of your organization โ€” players of all its servers sit at the same tables. Tap one to watch it, then tap a free seat to sit down.
  • Open a table lets you pick the blinds and your buy-in; you get the first seat and your friends find the table in the lobby. The form starts with the settings of the last table you opened on the server.
  • The buy-in is between 20 and 100 big blinds. It leaves your balance when you sit down; whatever is left of your stack comes back when you stand up. You may top your stack up to 100 big blinds at any time; during a hand you are playing, the amount leaves your balance right away and joins your stack once the hand is over.
  • While it is not your turn yet you can pre-select Check, Check/Fold, Fold or Call. It is played as soon as your turn comes; a pre-selected check or call is dropped when someone changes the bet first.
  • With a keyboard: F folds, C checks or calls, R opens the raise. Before your turn, F and C pre-select. While raising, 1โ€“6 pick a preset, the arrow keys or +/โˆ’ change the amount by one big blind, A goes all-in, Enter confirms and Esc closes.
  • The list button at the top of the table shows the hand rankings, from royal flush down to high card.
  • When a hand goes to showdown, the result stays up for about 12 seconds: who won, with which hand and with which five cards. Confetti marks the winner's seat.
  • You can sit at one table at a time, across all servers of your organization.
  • If you stood up at a table less than 30 minutes ago, you have to bring at least what you took with you when you come back.
  • The house keeps a small share of every pot that saw a flop โ€” by default 5 %, at most a few big blinds per hand. A hand that ends before the flop costs nothing.
  • You have 30 seconds per decision by default. If the time runs out you check when that is free and fold otherwise. Miss it twice in a row and you are put on a pause. Closing the table page puts you on a pause after 30 seconds; press Back to the table when you return. After ten minutes of pause โ€” or ten minutes alone at a table โ€” you stand up automatically and your stack goes back to your balance.
  • The server may set a daily loss limit: buy-ins minus cash-outs per day. Money still on the table counts as lost until you stand up.
  • Some accounts that belong together cannot sit at the same table; the table then only tells you that you cannot take a seat there.
  • Friends talking about their cards in a voice party cannot be prevented. Play with people you trust.
  • Where the server has voice and text chat switched on, every table has its own room: players seated at the table talk, spectators listen, and everybody can write โ€” unless the table's opener chose otherwise.
  • A table may have a fixed buy-in or no rebuys; the lobby and the sit-down sheet say so.
  • A lock marks a private table. You only see it if its opener let you in.

Poker tournamentsโ€‹

A trophy marks a tournament table. It is played until one player holds all the chips:

  • Sitting down registers you and takes the buy-in (some tournaments are free). Until the tournament starts you can unregister and get it back.
  • Everybody gets the same tournament chips. They are not money and are never paid out.
  • It starts once every seat is taken, or when its opener starts it. The header then shows the level, the blinds, when they go up next and how many players are left.
  • There are no rebuys. If you are away, you stay in and keep paying your blinds.
  • Give up takes you out at once and your chips are lost; it asks you first.
  • The prizes are paid to the balance when the tournament ends and the results stay on the table.

Self-exclusionโ€‹

Below every casino game (and the game selection) there is an Exclude myself button. It opens a short list of the games you can currently play, including betting: tick single games, or Entire casino and betting to lock yourself out of every casino game and the bookmaker โ€” including games the server adds later. After one more confirmation the games disappear for you on every server of the organization: you play with the same balance everywhere, so the exclusion holds everywhere too.

You cannot undo this yourself. Only an admin can lift it: Admin โ†’ Players โ†’ the player โ†’ Player actions โ†’ Lift casino self-exclusion (needs admin.players.change_access_rights). The player's header shows a Casino self-exclusion badge while it is active, and lifting it lifts it on every server. Every self-exclusion and every lift is recorded in the player's audit trail.

When the casino is unavailableโ€‹

The casino entry appears only when you have at least one casino game right:

  • casino.access_slots for the slot machine
  • casino.access_wheel_of_fortune for the Wheel of Fortune
  • casino.access_blackjack for blackjack
  • casino.access_roulette for roulette
  • casino.access_poker for poker

casino.* covers all of them, including games added later.

Also in Discord: bets from the bookmaker can be browsed, placed and run with /bet โ€” see Discord commands.
