This project implements a custom Blackjack game for AzerothCore using Eluna and Rochet2’s AIO framework.
The game is hosted by an NPC named Lord Foldemort, and players can challenge him to Blackjack directly inside the game client.
To run this module, you’ll need:
- AzerothCore Server with mod-eluna installed
- Rochet2 AIO
Place both Lua scripts in your server’s lua_scripts/ folder:
lua_scripts/BlackjackServer.lua
lua_scripts/BlackjackClient.lua
Copy the following Lua scripts to the appropriate directories in your server:
- Server Script:
BlackjackServer.lua - Client Script:
BlackjackClient.lua
Copy the provided SQL file to your server's database. This file includes the necessary entries to add the Blackjack Dealer NPC to your game world.
- SQL File:
Blackjack-Gambler.sql
- Place the Lua Scripts:
- Copy the
BlackjackServer.luascript into your server'sscriptsdirectory (typically found inlua_scriptsor a similar directory). - Copy the
BlackjackClient.luascript into your rver'sscriptsdirectory (typically found inlua_scriptsor a similar directory).
- Copy the
NOTE: I Personally have both of my scripts in my lua_scripts folder.
- Run the SQL Script:
- Execute the
BlackjackDealer.sqlfile on your WoW server database to add the Blackjack Dealer NPC to the game.
- Execute the

Interacting with the NPC:
- Players can approach the NPC with ID

This project includes custom assets (card images, sounds, etc.) inside the MPQ/ folder in this repository.
- Take the provided MPQ folder and pack it into a custom patch file (e.g.
patch-A.MPQ). - Place the MPQ into your WoW client’s
Datadirectory.World of Warcraft\Data\patch-A.MPQ - The MPQ already contains the correct directory structure:
So you don’t need to rearrange anything.
Interface\Cards\ Sound\Blackjack\
- You may rename the MPQ (
patch-A,patch-B, etc.) but ensure it doesn’t conflict with existing patches. - Without this MPQ installed, card textures and sounds will not appear in-game.
