Lotto Builder 6.6 was released on February 13, 2004. To see Lotto Builder 6.5: News

[Blackjack Upgrade]
In an effort to continue providing lotto owners with the most control possible, we have made a few improvements to this game:

1. You can now specify the starting bank per player session IE $500. No longer limited to $100.
2. You can now specify the maximum bet per hand IE $1000. No longer limited to $10.
3. You can now specify how many decks to use IE 4. The game was locked on 4 decks previously.

[Video Poker Upgrade]
You can now specify the starting bank per player session IE $500. This was limited to $100.

[Affiliate System POSTPONED UNTIL UPCOMING Lotto Builder 7.0]
We are working on an affiliate system which will allow you to run your own affiliate program. This system will allow you to increase your user base more quickly. The system will allow you to enter your pay times, rates, etc. Additionally, you can select how to pay your affiliates as shown below.

1. Pay per new player join.
2. Pay per new "active" player join.
3. Pay $x on new player join then pay $x when player is "active".

*added January 30: We are adding another option that let's you adjust pay style and amounts PER affiliate! So if you have someone who is good or bad, you can adjust as you see fit, give deals, etc.

As you can see, you have three styles to choose from allowing you flexibility. Each has its pros and cons (which will be explained in the documentation). Above "ACTIVE" status is owner defined. For example, you could set it so when a player plays 4 games, they are considered "active".

This system has been heavily requested by lotto owners and we are working to have version 1.0 completed for Lotto Builder 6.6

[Cron Jobs Postponed until Lotto Builder 7.0]
We are working to create a new set of cron jobs that will allow you to cron using PHP verses wget. This is good for a few reasons:

1. No needless log files like wget gives.
2. No need to put files in web viewable directory (added security).
3. No using web protocol. All internal.

[Game Tracking]
We are updating the game tracking system to let you see individual game plays instead of just total component stats (IE Scratch Games). This will allow you to see what games are popular and what is not. This will be a great feature that will allow you to tweak your site. For example, you may have a $50 game that is getting little play right now. Currently, you do not know this. With the new system you will be able to tell. Maybe then you raise the prize and see more plays. Result: More action at your site.

[KENO]
Lotto Builder now has Keno! In your system options, you can setup the starting credits for this game. Version 1.0 of Keno looks nice and plays well.

[Casino Traker]
We have completed version 1.0 of the casino tracker component and included it in the new Video Poker and Keno updates coming out. The tracker will log any time a player hits one of the following:

1. Four of a Kind in Video Poker
2. Straight Flush in Video Poker
3. Royal Flush in Video Poker
4. Any max hit in Keno IE 8 out of 8

This will let you get a glimpse at how your players are winning. Additionally, it could open the way for side contests like giving people a prize for hitting a royal flush and so on.
