Should R* Add Blackjack, Poker, Gambling

[FocusedPants]

Doesn't "Betting" already count as gambling? Or is that completely separate from a legal standpoint.

[Zwenkwiel]

poll is biased

I was thinking about it seriously but if there's an option to vote "suck a hard one" I'll Always go for that

 

honestly I don't know

it's not that I would mind said games in gta but I Always think it's weird how some of the decisions they make seem to be carrying this game in the wrong direction

take SP for example, there's yoga, tennis and golf but no vigilante missions or gang wars or anything

would rather they focus on stuff like that instead of turning this game into second life or something

They wouldn't need a gambling license as their is no option to turn the in game money back into real money, they can/probably will add this as an payed expansion later on (once the heist/content/beach packs have been released)

[Bronesia]

I'm not sure Bakb0ne. Maybe there is a special law which doesn't allow in-game gambling? Not sure tho.

[Hitchens]

yeah f*ck microtransactions!

[Frank Brown]

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).

 

I don't think it's a problem. Once the initial transaction is complete, the Euros/Dollars/Pounds/etc. turn into GTA$ and can't be returned to Euros/Dollars/Pounds/etc. I think it's only a legal issue if you're able to turn the in-game money into real world money.

If the whole illegal online gambling issue is a problem (in the U.S.) then they should simply not allow money to be bought for poker games.... Online poker similar to how they mastered it in Red Dead Redemption is just too good of an idea for Rockstar to pass up.

 

If I can have fun golfing and playing tennis against people online imagine how fun poker would be.

[Mr Rabbit]

Poker - definitely

blackjack - yep if done realistically. so I can card count

Bump.

[leeco]

Sure I would be rich if they added poker.

[GSi]

I would like to see a return of the BOOKIES ( horse racing ) from San Andreas

[Pinnkiepie]

Sooner of later, there HAS to be a Casino where you can play Poker, BlackJack, Roulette, Slotmachines etc

 

Also alot of Guards inside.

 

You cannot pull out a Weapon once you're inside, but you can enter the Casino with a Weapon...

 

The Casino would also be a Target for an upcoming Heist

[Trepsik]

they should add a coin arcade to the fair grounds at the pier. working qub3d and add rip offs of classic games like contra, mortal kombat, and galactica

[Bosk]

I would love to see gambling added.

 

 

To all the people claiming microtransactions prevent this - they could simply add code which prevents money gained from microtransactions from being gambled. Problem solved.

[jerrodh7244]

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

 

Have you ever played a mobile game? I mean zynga poker for instance?
