June 8, 2015

Ill-Gotten Gains DLC (Part 2).

Randy Quaid would be a perfect addition to gta 5, especially considering the star wackers freaks missions in singleplayer and Quaids own beliefs.

my birthday is June 10th....coincidence????? I THINK NOT!!!

June 8, 2015

The Casino isn't going to happen, just forget about it. All we're getting are some cars, clothes and a agun.

Do you not think Rockstar would state before the update was released that the Casino would be opening seeing as it's something a lot of people want?

Certainly not in this update no, but it will happen

Why will it?

Because the audience want it and it will make additional profit for R*. They wouldn't have gotten this far if they missed opportunities like the casino

What opportunities?

What opportunities?

Opportunities to bring new people in to the game. Opportunities to sell more Shark cards as people have a huge new possibility for expenditure.

Ill-Gotten Gains DLC (Part 2).

lol With a Casino ?

But yeah you right i guess. Rockstar love to have fun with us. Rockstar love to be hypocrite and to say the opposite of what they really provide.

"Gotten Gains DLC" for actually a "Lost Gains DLC" is very logic.

Opportunities to bring new people in to the game. Opportunities to sell more Shark cards as people have a huge new possibility for expenditure.

Yes. I don't know why, but your comment looks like some "Naive", it's so sweet.

The casino (for gambling) will kill the Online. Like every MMO games with a Casino (and blackjack, poker etc...).

Because people associate "Casino" and "easy money". Because the design of a Casino (especially Online Casinos, biggest scam on the earth) is to create an addiction and to encourage the ego (when people are losing money, they always think they can be better and win back the money they lost.... especially if it's virtual).

In fact Casino is "easy bankrupt" for most of people.

Casino don't bring new people into the game. It's never happen, and it will never happen.

But the opposite is true.

A "Casino" addition push a lot of people to quit to another game.

Because many people love "easy money" (also love in their denial world), especially virtual money in a game.

And then, GTA players can always wait for races, missions, Heists, activities etc..., because most of people will be busy in Casino to play Poker (and will say "i'm busy @Casino, I'm a professional poker player you know!.... I'm earning money in the texas hold'em" while in fact, with a initial small stack of 10000 GTA$, after 30 minutes they will have 25 000 GTA$ ... but the thing they forget, this stack isn't "Gotten Gains", it's just a stack in a precise moment, and then, 32 minutes later, they have nothing, because beaten after playing like a "donkey" with A-6 (against a suited 8-6).

It's not an opinion, it's the reality: For every f*cking (no casino) games (MMO) from the moment where a Casino was added, the MMO (Online) was dead, because every players prefer to gamble rather to play. In few days, the Onlines were deserted (because even people loving to play in Casino, think they are very good players, and then prefer play in a real Casino, with their real money.... and lose their real money.......).

If people want to play to Casino, they don't buy GTA .... they're going on a real Online Casino (with real and virtual money).

The opportunities to buy shark cards ... Ok, of course but for a long time ? ...

People can be totally idiot (as we can see on this kind of threads), but nobody love to spend many real money for pixels things (many people use real money to buy pixel things but rarely with pleasure), and then, buy virtual money with real money for in the end, lose all this virtual money....

Oh believe me, after that, people don't buy twice shark cards. But ok, except kids maybe, but once time Dad and Mom will see "baby" have spend more of 100$ in GTA (after to buy it 60-70$), they will be very angry... and many of these blind parents will call a lawyer.... (there are many cases in USA (Rockstar Games is a US company), where addict people have prosecuted Casinos or even their "State" or the Federal Government because these people lose their money..... and they won in some cases, or the case was settled out of court and received a big check to be quiet).

In contrary, they will come here to cry and say "Rockstar is so unfair with their Shark cards ~~fans~~ customers..."

As I said on another thread, Rockstar bring the Casino when/if Rockstar will want to kill the Online (to push people to buy... GTA VI and then to transform GTA Online from V to VI) and make money (shark cards) for the last time (for GTA V/Online)...

But in fact, if Rockstar want to add the Casino (for gambling), I think like someone said here, that Casino will be "Offline" with a Story DLC (It's for me, much more logic... and much less restrictive relative to existing laws about virtual money buyable from real money for a Online Casino/Gamble and about the Owner responsibilities towards customers addictions... and without talk about necessarily technologies and developments needed for this kind of Casino).

I know, some people believe (again) that Casino and Stock market will come into the Online....

In fact even the Casino could be an inconvenience for shark cards. Why?

Because losers (majority), will go on other games, and then, only winners (minority) will stay on the Online, but with a lot of GTA$ , they will not need to buy shark cards (and finally, the in game economy is for now only profitable for Rockstar but in this case it will become totally biased and useless for... Rockstar in term of revenues).

And for the Stock Market.... If Rockstar open the Stock Market in Online, then it will happen in the end of the GTAV/Online era (before GA VI). Because people losing all their money in Bawsdaq will go on other games, and "winners" will stay without the need of shark cards (same as above).

I doubt it will ever open, but it would be nice.

What would be the point of Cash cards if some $2.00 shmuck comes in a high stakes Blackjack table and walks away with $24.000.000 after his first 21?

June 8, 2015

Goddammit, the Casino has had the "Coming soon" sign since the game came out in 2013!

it likely wouldn't pay out at that rate with only 1 hand of 21

True. Also Black Jack odds tend to be pretty flat. Return for a draw, double for a win and double double for a black jack. Individual tables in real life 'casinos' may pay out more, but that would be counter intuitive outside of a promotion.

For a person to get that sort of payout in one hand they would have to break the game. If you could do that then why not just fix the money variable instead of the buggering the odds.

In any case Black Jack against a computer is foolish. May as well just play the slots. If you want to gamble online, go with poker.

June 8, 2015

As someone who works in a bookies I fully hope they have horse betting as part of the casino so I can perm Lucky 15s and make top dollar

June 8, 2015

The day the casino opens will be the last day they sell a shark card. People will go in, bet big and if they don't win, reset their computer. They can't have it save after you have made the bet because of this situation:

I have had the same thought, but they could implement controls to prevent too much exploiting. There could be both a single bet limit (e.g. no more than $1000 per bet on any game) and a daily win cap which, once you hit it, the casino sends thugs to throw you out (just for amusement). Even with people looking for loopholes, there are ways to prevent too much shenanigans - or at least to prevent people from getting super-rich off it.

It's probably a good idea to institute bet and daily win/loss caps anyway, so there aren't idiot ten year olds buying cash cards and then blowing them in half an hour.

So? that doesn't mean it's going to open.

All the houses with for sale signs since the first trailer... Can't use them as apartments. That one building is still under construction, nothing has happened to it. Everyone on the internet was so sure the aircraft carrier was going to be in free roam because no good reason, and it was heist only.

For the people saying it would only be released if Rockstar hyped it up first... Correct me if I'm wrong but when has hyping up a game or DLC worked in the past? It usually doesn't. So I think it is a big possibility that it could come if Rockstar was smart.

Or Roulette, I'd play that. Would be nice if money wasn't the only object at stake.

I'll let your imagination run wild on that one

Maybe incorporate foreign card tables like French "Bacorack" (if that's correct)...

Baccarat (pronounced Bah-Cah-Rah ). Pretty good time waster and even simpler than Black Jack.

I like your idea of not just money as a stake, but a certain level of moderation is required with that. An extension of your idea would be good in winning cars and other objects (maybe a wheel of fortune prize of a mansion).

@ Namless and Nutduster:

While you raise a valid point of resetting after a loss of bet there is a simpler solution than limiting ante and overall payout (something that is automatic with most casino games like roulette and Black Jack) and that is to automatically save after each turn, round and hand. If there is a Save Fail that is R* loss otherwise you the player risk corrupting your save by terminating and resetting (not to mention that the saves are kept off site on R* cloud servers so are relatively tamper proof). The only game anyone is really interested in and the one with the biggest odds is poker. Now I know I talk in a matter of fact way about it, but poker is an easy game to play but a hard one to do well at. Anyone looking a quick profit will make a quicker loss. If the game saves after every hand then tough sh*t. If you are genuinely good and skillful and ultimately lucky, you might make a good return in one hand, but you will still spend weeks amassing more than 10 mil without risking more than a million a hand.

There are other ways to get out of without going through the doors, like accepting other jobs so you're warped out of the current building your in.

But good try my man

I see what you mean, if the Cloud was reliable. They could have created some tournaments. Then in the Final they could play for an Apartment, Supercar or money...
