Chaster Extension: Casino

Documentation for the Casino Chaster extension (Time Casino).

Overview#

The Casino extension turns lock time into casino stakes. Wearers play mini-games (Slots, Crash, Roulette, Blackjack) by staking minutes of lock time. Wins reduce time (reward); losses add time (punishment). Results are stored in a Time Bank until the wearer redeems them—then the bank balance is applied to the lock (add or remove time) and the bank is cleared.

The extension runs inside your Chaster lock. Keyholders choose which games are available and set stake limits; wearers play within those limits and can redeem their bank whenever they want.

How to use#

For keyholders#

  1. Add the extension to a lock
    When creating or editing a lock on Chaster, add the Casino (Time Casino) extension from the list of partner extensions.

  2. Configure the extension
    Open the extension’s Configuration page (via Chaster’s extension settings). You can:

    • Enable or disable each game (Slots, Crash, Roulette, Blackjack).
    • Set stake limits per game: minimum stake, maximum stake, and default stake (all in minutes).
    • Turn notifications on or off: when on, each play creates a log entry in the lock history (e.g. “%USER% played Slots”, “%USER% cashed out Crash”).
    • Save with Chaster’s Save button so the configuration is stored.

  3. Optional: Regular actions
    If you use Chaster’s “Regular actions” (e.g. limited plays per day), the extension will use one action per game play. When there are no actions left, the wearer cannot play until the next period.

  4. Wearer experience
    The wearer opens the extension from the lock. They see their bank balance and actions left (if you set regular actions). They choose a game, set their stake within your limits, and play. Winnings and losses go to the bank; they can Redeem at any time to apply the bank to the lock and clear the bank.

For wearers#

  1. Open the extension from your Chaster lock (link or tab provided by Chaster).
  2. Check the top bar: “Actions left” (if your keyholder limited plays) and “Bank” balance.
  3. Pick a game in the left sidebar (only games your keyholder enabled are available).
  4. Set your stake using the slider or number input (within the keyholder’s min–max range).
  5. Play:
    • Slots: Spin; three matching symbols pay out (e.g. triple 💎 = 10× stake removed); no match = stake added.
    • Crash: Multiplier rises; cash out before it “crashes” to get a time reward; crash or cash out too early = time added.
    • Roulette: Bet on color (red/black), even/odd, or a single number (0–36). Win = time removed (1× or 25× for a number); lose = stake added.
    • Blackjack: Standard rules; win = time removed; lose/push = stake added or no change. Surrender and split are supported; if you leave an unfinished hand (e.g. close the extension), it’s forfeited with an extra penalty.
  6. Redeem when you want to apply your bank balance to the lock. All banked time (positive or negative) is applied at once and the bank is reset to zero.

Settings & options#

All of these are set by the keyholder on the extension’s Configuration page and saved via Chaster.

Global#

  • Notifications (default: Off) — When on, the extension adds a lock log entry for each casino action (e.g. “%USER% played Slots”, “%USER% redeemed their bank”). When off, no log entries are created for plays.

Per-game settings#

For each game — Slots, Crash, Roulette, Blackjack — you can set:

  • Enabled — When off, that game is not available to the wearer.
  • Min stake — Minimum stake in minutes the wearer can choose.
  • Max stake — Maximum stake in minutes the wearer can choose.
  • Default stake — Default stake (minutes) shown when the wearer opens the game.

Stakes are whole minutes. The configuration page ensures the default is between min and max.

Typical defaults

  • Slots — min 5, max 120, default 15 min
  • Crash — min 10, max 180, default 30 min
  • Roulette — min 10, max 180, default 30 min
  • Blackjack — min 10, max 180, default 25 min

Regular actions (Chaster)#

If you set Regular actions in Chaster (e.g. “3 actions per day”), each game play uses one action. When none remain, the wearer is told they cannot play until the next allowed time.

Game rules (summary)#

  • Slots: 3 reels; symbols include 🍒 🍋 🔔 ⭐ 💎. Three of a kind: 💎 10×, ⭐ 5×, 🍒 3×, others 2× (time removed). Two of a kind: half stake added. No match: full stake added.
  • Crash: Multiplier increases over time; you cash out or it crashes. Cash out before it crashes in the “risk zone” (around 2×–3×) for a time reward; cash out too early or crash = time added.
  • Roulette: One number 0–36 each spin. Bet on color (red/black), even/odd, or a single number. Red/black or even/odd win = 1× stake removed; single number win = 25× stake removed; loss = stake added.
  • Blackjack: Standard rules; dealer stands on 17. Natural blackjack pays 3:2. Split and double are supported. Surrender = half stake added. Leaving an unfinished hand (e.g. closing the extension) forfeits the hand and adds a penalty (e.g. 2× base stake) to the bank.
