Should R* Add Blackjack, Poker, Gambling

[Bronesia]

Curious about your thoughts. Should R* add the following:

 

• Blackjack
• Poker
• Massive betting on races (with like hundreds of people)
• ...More gambling options

Obviously Suck a hard one

[buddybravo]

People would lose all their in-game money and spend real money on cash cards trying to win it back.

[article dan]

Ye they should for sure. Used to love going in casinos in san andreas and made a loada cash doing it.

 

I think there will be in some DLC or something as there is a casino and racetrack and I cant see them not being used

[Varios Los Aztecas]

Yeah, an Online casino where you can gamble your in-game currency, I'd also like to see some way of gambling on a street level.

[Haha365]

I'd love to have poker and/or blackjack, as long as you can play with your crew.

[wigwam]

they should have lots of things from previous games that arent included like gambling, bowling, pool, gyms. i know they wanna try new things but why not do the new things AND some of the old ones!?

[Varios Los Aztecas]

Imagine getting an in-game invite saying something like "you have been invited to a game of poker at the so and so location, minimum buy-in $50,000" or something, that would be awesome. Even dice games and stuff on street level, would be ace.

[Pelican]

Oh, yes, give me my Poker please. Low Stakes and High Stakes poker! GIVE IT.

 

Low stakes because people would be forced to play the game and not throw all of their money at the table in order to win, like on Facebook.

[Bakb0ne]

I would love for the horse/dog track to start working, and would defiantly gamble at a casino if it was opened.

[MrNoir]

They definitely should, but online gaming for in-game currency that can be bought with real-life currency might make that a little bit tricky, seeing as there are minors who play

and there are harsher laws against minors gambling than there is for minors playing a video game that's rated for 17+.

 

What they should add is back alley dice (street version of craps).

[tom_p1980]

Used to love it in RDR so don't see why not. Get it done R*.

[Ertrick36]

Short answer: Yes

 

Long answer: Hell yeah!

You make it sound like this is a bad thing, the amount of players condoning hand holding play nice rules is unbelievable for a game like GTA. Even EVE is more ruthless than GTA and that is a game full of nerds playing Sci Fi in spaceships.

 

This makes it sound even better. Knowing that you may have just taken your opponents fat stack that has been paid for with his real life hard earned cash.

[BurnCK]

I did think the casino would be available online....it does say 'Opening soon' outside it.

 

If it does open I just hope guns have to be left at the door, lol.

[gtamann123]

Hell yeah. I think the whole "real money to buy fake money" makes it even better. It increases the stakes for people who are dumb enough to buy in game cash with their real money. And it would feel even better when you take his real hard earned money at the craps table.

[OldSwitcheroo]

As they have micro transactions to buy in game cash they would have to get a gambling licence i believe. Don't expect it to be opening anytime soon kids.

Yeah. If this is true then it's a shame. They cannot be sued either by parents whose kids gamble with real money. The games 18+ here in England

You don't take other players money at the craps table as a player.

[guns_blazing]

I'm honestly kind of disappointed that this has to be brought up in the forums. There should be gambling there's no doubt about it.

[DatDudeDB]

The casino as a whole should be a microtransaction haven.

 

Have slots for players to use, horses/dogs to bet on, poker, black jack table, roulette and watch the gambling addiction fly.

^^This.

[Chronolemon]

Dude, every time you exit online is a bloody gamble.

[Bronesia]

Would be so freaking awesome to be able to have some sort of in-game casino.

[-TommyVercetti-]

Would be so freaking awesome to be able to have some sort of in-game casino.

 

Yeah, hot woman serving drinks, dealers, security etc.

[Futo]

Yes definitely.

 

The useless casino and racecourse are the biggest balls they've dropped with GTA V. I love the game but find them being just decorations as a big dissapointment. Hopefully they'll add them soon.

 

Poker n blackjack were great in RDR.

[Inked.]

Absolutely. I'd play poker fer days.

[OldSwitcheroo]

There will be no gambling as long as there are microtransactions. If you have to ask why, you should not be gambling...

[tuff_luv_capo]

Dumbass microtransactions make this impossible. Anytime real money is involved it becomes a legal issue.

[gtajim]

Why not if people want to waste their real money instead of earning it the proper way I really want the casino to be operational that would be a day one buy for me if it was dlc
