Why cant we get a small share of the casino thats small but fully passive income? The Penthouse IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE item that cant be used for business purposes except the big, water borne money suck. Yacht 2.0. And only like 3 table games? Eff that. Let us make our yachts gambling boats in a sorely needed part II. Otherwise, After Hours was better.

To be fair, Fun did tell us beforehand that we would not be owning the casino, but being something like a partner in it (which we are, basically a hired gun) so really you should have gone in with that expectation. But like @Starkoji said, how many more businesses do we need? Honestly i don't want another business I have to babysit and grind. I have all my other businesses to do that and they'll make my money back from the penthouse on no time. It's a casino, it's meant for entertainment purposes and it was branded as such.

Also, why dont we get try to get celebs to the casino and be rewarded when we succeed.

Because then people (rightfully so) would complain that it was just a reskinned AH mission

I just realized that even R* did the stock colored wheels iFruit glitch in the pic of the InkInc livery for the Thrax.

Take out the security cameras asap, especially the one in the front of the ranch. The player I did the mission with brought his Hunter to take care of the helicopters while I dealt with the enemies on the ground. After a couple attempts to get things ironed out it worked pretty well

How? You can't use Pegasus vehicles in those missions

It was a personal aircraft. Once the mission started he called it in

For sure my favourite update since Heists. I'm actually playing the game and enjoying it again. I like doing Contact Missions and then chilling out in the Casino for a bit. It's so great.

 

It's nice to have the Wheel to spin everyday as well. Even if you don't have time to play, you could get something out of it every day.

I love the wheel! I’ve just made a secondary character today who is rank 1 and owns NOTHING. Just to see how much stuff she can own doing nothing but spinning the wheel once a day. So far she owns... a mustard Guffy tank top.

Can anyone else only get 50k chips every few hours? Is that a thing or a personal glitch

That's the max you can get every 48 minutes in-game.

20k if you don't have VIP.

New lucky wheel prize 100% real not fake

 

Spoiler

(This is to show that the vehicle on display is infact controlled via a tunable and therefore can be changed to whatever they want btw)

Casino full of NPCs standing around talking, or dicking around with their phones, drinking free booze; nobody gambling.  No wonder the damn place is going broke.  If this were my casino, I'd tell them to get busy gambling, or I'd toss them the hell out.

Blackjack is straight up crazy BS.

 

4 wins, 8 ties vs something like 40 losses.

 

Dealer got Blackjack like 8 times in a goddamn row.

Yeah, you buy them for $1 then sell for $2 each, best double week ever

[saintsrow]

Now I'm grinding contact missions, to support my virtual gambling addiction.  How far I've fallen.  What a pathetic piece of sh*t I am ...  JK

[Shiloh Comes]

Is it just me or have they fixed the pogo stick on the GTO?

 

I let a mate drive it during missions the other day and he said it was OK so I've just taken it out and it's actually driveable.

 

Woo-Hoo!

If you want to do it real easy, just go around the back into the pit area under the terrace canopy, no helicopter can shoot you while you are in cover except one Buzzard that comes from the north and is easy to RPG. Then you can pick off the enemies, then step out onto the putting green area, waste the other Buzzards over the roofop and then get in the Menacer by the stables and go around front to take out their Menacer.

 

Using a personal helicopter is of course an option but it somewhat makes the mission a bit boring. However, i would advocate using the Deluxo or similar for the tanker destruction mission, saves a fortune in grenades and stickies.

This is the most fun I've had in GTAO for a very long time, not gonna lie.

 

A solid 30 rounds of Blackjack with the boys made my night, and i'm hittin' the hay with satisfaction for once; instead of the utterly depressing conflict of freemode.

 

 

And speaking of freemode, passive popping is no more.

Honestly, randos are gonna be the worst to go through the final two missions with especially if they do not use chat.

 

My first time through, friend and I (yeah we 2 manned that sh*t) first went across the highway and up the hills on either side and took out all the cameras except the one on the rear of the house... we eventually got them all down without issue and took out guards in tandem. The 2nd time we couldn't get through the stealth at all... so I was set across the highway up the side of the mountain sniping into the ranch, while my friend was down closer to the action. We called out chopper spawns and took them down immediatly with homing launchers.

 

The 3rd time (with a different friend), we got a Lazer from Zancudo. Took care of it in the fastest time. We tried calling in Pegasus vehicles, but sometimes we couldn't connect.

My first hour with Blackjack was very suspect. It was me, another player and the dealer. Everyone got dealt a 4 the 2nd card the first time. Everyone an 8 the second time. A 6 the third time

 

Dealer always hit 21 when we stayed at 19 or 20. If we stayed at 18 he hit 20 immediately. The amount of Aces the dealer got when around 15 was insane.

 

After a while when the table filled, things felt more balanced. It may be a figment of the imagination, but the more players, the more the odds seem balanced.

 

Roulette on the other hand seems to play out normally. Having frequented AC a bunch in the last few years, I just follow what I have always done IRL; play the outside and check the history. If the wheel is landing on reds, I bet black. I win more on roulette than blackjack.

Honestly? The oldest method in the book - Kuruma.

 

We did it with one, but each can take their personal bad boy and fk sh*t up.

When the enemy Hunter arrives, just get out of the car and 1 shot that beach with an RPG then move on.

Ez pz.

You can call your personal aircraft, so use a Hunter or something. There's a chance it will be destroyed during the cutscene- but 4/5 of the time I've done it so far, the helicopter has been parked near the ranch.

48 minutes

[Rundur]

Dunno if it's been mentioned already, but it seems like the Popularity bar in your nightclub now goes up a lot faster when doing the Promotion missions. I used to get half or 3/4 of a bar, now I'm usually getting 1.5 bars per mission.

 

Edit: Just read the thingy from the other article, silly me.

Call idea. Tried calling the mechanic and Pegasus and they wouldn't pick up.

 

[BlarKing]

Interesting stuff...

I tried spending all my chips (about 70k) on the Diamond roulette for sh*ts and giggles. I did, but then I wanted to buy more chips.

Instead of the usual 50k I can get, it only gave me the option to buy 30k.

 

Is this some sort of anti-gambling protection where it stops you from overspending?
