Is there a good casino/gambling software package which allows the player to play the games via the keyboard instead of through the mouse? I was looking for some software to put on my 4-player cabinet in the hopes that multiple people can play Craps, Caribbean Stud poker, Rouletter, Blackjack, etc,.... together. If the games are only usable through a mouse interface then I will not be able to map separate buttons for separate players to place bets, draw cards, etc...
What do other people have?

Ok things you need to know about pc gambling software.
#1 It's almost always mouse controlled.... That makes sense actually, it's just not good for your case.
#2 They are almost always 1 player because they are mouse controlled. Windows can only use one mouse and thus they are all 1 player. If by rare chance it's a multi-player game then it's multiplayer via online play.
In other words, given those criteria, you are s.o.l. Sorry man. :(

that is what i was figuring......just thought I would ask in case I was wrong. I did not think it made much sense that multi-player share the same keyboard for gambling games
-
It would be cool though to have a multi-player black jack game where the players play against the computer [dealer].

Vegas Dream for Nintendo Entertainment System.
Blackjack, Roulette, Slot Machines or Keno... and i think it let you play up to 4 players... :)

hmmm- is this emulated yet then? That'd just ROCK!!!

I have code written for a blackjack game... if you don't find anything, I can adapt it for multiple players after I finish the jukebox...
This admittedly looks cheesy because it was part of a contest to write a game in 48 hours... but it does allow you to split, double down, and take insurance... and I could customize the card backs for you... :)
Here I am after splitting 8's against a jack... not really one of my brighter moves...
-
Isn't splitting eights the right thing to do against a dealer 10?
-
You should ALWAYS split 8s and Aces- ALWAYS...
-
Well, I did split the 8's, and I doubled down on the first hand, hit the second twice for an 18, and lost both hands to the dealer's 20. Oh, well, all I wanted was the screenshot anyway.

split eight's when the dealer has 10? no no
