Table Management

Manage and spawn all tables in your uVegas multiplayer casino project, including Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, and Slots.

Overview

The TableManager is a core component in uVegas that handles spawning and managing all tables on the server. It is designed to be generic, so it can manage different types of table prefabs (Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, and Slots) in a unified way.

How It Works

• The TableManager exists as a singleton network object in your scene.

• It contains a list of TableSpawnData entries, each defining:

  • tablePrefab – the prefab to spawn (e.g., BlackjackTable, PokerTable)

  • maxTables – the maximum number of tables of this type

  • maxSeats – number of seats per table

• When the server starts (OnStartServer), it spawns all configured tables automatically.

foreach (var data in tableData)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < data.maxTables; i++)
    {
        SpawnTable(data, i);
    }
}

• Each table is instantiated, initialized with its seat count, and spawned on the network using Mirror's NetworkServer.Spawn.

• After spawning, the table is registered with the LobbyManager, which allows players to see and join it.

Table Prefabs

• Each table prefab must implement the BaseTable interface, which handles:

  • Seat allocation

  • Game initialization

  • Player interaction

• You can mix and match different table types:

  • Blackjack tables

  • Poker tables

  • Roulette tables

  • Slot machines (based on the same table logic)

---

Integration with Lobby

• The LobbyManager keeps track of all active tables.

• Players use the lobby to join available tables, without needing to manually reference the spawned prefabs.

• This ensures scalable multiplayer table management and seamless integration with any uVegas game module.

💡 Tip: Configure your tables in the TableManager prefab before starting the server. Each TableSpawnData entry allows you to define how many tables of each type and how many seats each table supports.
