Improvements performed from the last version (2.0.7) to the current release (2.1):

• VGA Blackjack HUD v2.1:  We reduced the number of scripts in the Blackjack HUD from 5 to a singular ultra-optimised HUD controller script. Yet another example of how VGA is the better than all other game makers by leaps and bounds.

• VGA Blackjack v2.1 Engine: New Feature! Added Sitting Out/Offline timer hover text on applicable player positions.

• VGA Blackjack v2.1 Commands Menu: Added the “PHover On” and “PHover Off” options which allow enabling or disabling player status hover text.

• VGA Blackjack v2.1 Tech 2 Theme Engine: Fixed a small bug that wouldn’t allow available seats themes to be selected due to large increase in availability.
• VGA Blackjack v2.1: Several other unlisted small fixes/additions.

Innovation, sacrifice and perseverance were all highly exercised by the Virtual Gaming Accessories developing team for the past 6 months as we developed the unique technologies which would then embody the Newly Epic VGA Product Released today, the VGA Multiplayer Blackjack v2. Featuring several World First Second Life programming technologies such as its new tournament mode and the Tech 2 Theme Engine system all in which we will describe their capabilities in more detail at a further date.

Here is some basic information on the newest VGA Blackjack table:

Direct from Virtual Gaming Accessories, we are proud to announce the VGA Multiplayer Blackjack v2.0 featuring Normal and Tournament playing modes! Getting blackjack at our tables pays 3 to 2, insurance purchased successfully when dealer has blackjack pays 2 to 1. Our tables use a 6 deck shoe, housing from 1 to 5 players with the ability to surrender any bet. The minimum prims allowance needed to run the table is 28 prims (Table and Seats). All rights reserved, Copyright 2004 – 2011, VGA – Virtual Gaming Accessories.

Fresh product update available from today. If you currently have a v2.0.0.3000 table unfortunately you will have to write us a support ticket to grab your update: http://www.slvga.com/support As we just recently added on the Update feature on the menu of this updated Roulette table release.

We addressed the following issues and added the following features:

* Fixed annoying “white/grey line” visual Viewer Rendering engine artifact between betting board and menu area.

* Added Update Product feature to owner’s menu
* Added Feature to Enable/Disable Player Betting text on Local chat.
* Added New Menu feature “VP$ Balance” which tells you how many VP$ or VGA Play Money you currently have on the VGA money server.

Dear VGA Community,

We regretfully inform you that due to the present climate in Second Life we have decided that as of the 2nd of December 2010 that we will no longer sell or support the standard edition of our equipment.

For those of you that do not know what the standard edition was; it allowed our gaming equipment to run on either by default (VP$ VGA Virtual Play money) or alternatively L$ (Linden Currency).

Even though using some of our equipment on L$ mode was possible with the standard tables, we sold these for the sole purpose of the people patiently waiting for the US Gaming Legislation, and Second Life gaming policies to make a turn around. As these tables were sold to people and run by default in VP$ Mode and were primarily used for that purpose alone, providing safe TOS viable fun.
We believe that we were conducting a fair business practise with all our products and services.
In the same principle that it’s not illegal for you to own a gun but it may be illegal to shoot someone with it in the US, we always have supported the right to own your own poker table.

Recently, a disgruntled VGA customer recklessly and persistently kept circumventing Second Life Gaming policies. And then when they didn’t get things their way they went on to creating a multitude of alternate accounts under different names causing Linden Lab a lot of headaches and major inconvenience.
Subsequently, they went on resorting to grieving us at our Headquarters establishment using a multitude of juvenile tactics (such as, particle attacks displaying trademarked VGA images, copy-botting our main character in game to a multitude of alternates, and a lot more) when we decided to pull the plug on their Second Life criminal organisation.
We primarily made the decision to pull the plug on them due to some customers having reported a collusion circle amongst that poker house’s administration, as well as them picking up their table’s full of people Lindens, and then claiming a Liaison took the table from them.

All these recent events has proven to us that at this point in time it’s no longer in the best interests of either Second Life, VGA poker community, or Virtual Gaming Accessories to allow such activities to take place using cherished VGA equipment.

Those of you that have Standard versions of our tables we recommend that you no longer consider changing them to Linden Mode and always be sure that they are always running on VP$ mode which is completely safe with the Second Life gaming policies and Terms of Service.

Failure to abide by our new community rules may result in us forcefully replacing your cherished VGA equipment to the Lite editions (100% safe) permanently.

I would also like to use this opportunity thank you for your cooperation and support through these difficult times and changing climate. And we hope that you can accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this VGA policy change.

Yours truly,
Virtual Gaming Accessories

Perhaps the most elegant of all VGA products so far has just been released.

No information on product or manuals have yet been written. We plan to update the website and make a manual for it tomorrow. Although just like all our products it’s pretty much Rez and Go, access the dialog menu  and the rest is common sense.

This product’s prims have been optimised with sculpties making it only 39 prims total. Which I think is totally amazing for the level of detail it shows. This is just a preliminary announcement will update this further tomorrow.

The VGA Roulette v2 tables is available now from the VGA Vendor located in our showroom or from any VGA Affiliate Vendor!

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Seoraksan/180/160/80

VGA Roulette v2 (Standard) has been priced at: $19,999L

VGA Roulette v2 (Lite) has been priced at: $4,999L

This latest version has been 3 months in the making, and at least 100x superior to VGA Roulette v1.  I’m sure you will all enjoy this release, as it may be the best release from us in the last couple of years. Looking forward to hosting a product showcase event for the VGA Roulette v2 in the next few days, in which I will see you all there!

Today we released a new patch/fix for the VGA Multiplayer Blackjack. This is a recomended update for all table owners it addresses a few minor but important admin functions involving changing table modes and a few others. In order to update your table simply left click the table to pull our the admin menu. Then select Settings -> Update.

VGA Multiplayer Blackjack 1.0.3 Patch Notes:

* Fixed Change modes bug between L$ and VP$ modes.Where sometimes unless table was reset by the owner table would think it’s a Lite table without the ability to run on L$ mode.

* Fixed Change modes involving commands “Chat on”, “Chat off”, “Debug off”, “Debug on”.

* Fixed minor issue involving rotating the table after it was rezed and before reseting, where the dealer’s shuffling cards would appear at a wrong rotation and the deck wouldnt fit back in its shoe.

Enjoy your tables!

This is most likely the best bit of news ever posted on this blog! Take a good read for yourself and embrace this moment which we all been eagerly waiting for:

The day that it becomes legal for US residents to gamble online again, VGA will be ready and a registered US incorporation, under the new US Online Gambling regulations and most likelly the first Gaming Company to do so based in the Second Life platform.

Most hardcore die hard SL poker players remember the good old VGA poker days:
