It has at all times amazed me that Grand Theft Auto Online (and its guardian game, Grand Theft Auto 5) hasn’t had a on line casino till now, what with it being all about a lifetime of vice and high-stakes motion. Next week on Tuesday the 23rd, Rockstar are fixing that, and opening the doorways to the Diamond Casino & Resort. As with different GTA Online expansions, gamers should purchase in with in-game cash to entry its new story missions and high-stakes tables. For everybody else, there’ll be a bundle of recent minigames to play, together with poker, blackjack, roulette and betting on horse races. Below, the replace trailer.
“Experience Preeminence”, “Experience Accidents”, “Experience Incontinence”, the glitzy casino resort page breathlessly proclaims. Good to see that GTA 5’s sense of humour has turn out to be no classier since its 2013 debut. It does appear to be a enjoyable new social house for the game, away from the chaos {that a} closely armed on-line player-base inevitably brings. Within the on line casino correct there’s a bunch of playing minigames, together with the one-spin-a-day Lucky Wheel which might pay out a number of the costliest automobiles within the game. Upstairs within the penthouse flats, there’s a pair of retro-styled arcade games, and I’m curious to see whether or not they’re any cop.
Of course, hanging out and being social (and dodging plane strafing runs) is more Alice’s thing. I’m extra in regards to the big-budget missions that include every of those main updates. While seemingly not as bold because the very Saint’s Row styled Doomsday Heist missions, it doesn’t appear to be the Diamond will disappoint. With a purchase order of a Master Penthouse on the on line casino, gamers can unlock a brand new story about defending the on line casino from a Texan oil agency attempting to devalue the resort and purchase it on a budget.
Of course this implies automotive chases, explosions and a bundle of wealthy fool characters struggling by the hands of our many mute protagonists. There’s some particular rewards for finishing this new story the primary time, however Rockstar are holding quiet on what you’ll get. I do surprise simply how excessive they’ll enable the playing stakes to go throughout the on line casino. Let’s not neglect which you can purchase bundles of GTA Online money for actual cash, and the prospect to lose all of it in moments at a digital on line casino may elevate just a few eyebrows.
The Diamond opens in GTA Online on July 23rd, and you may learn a bit extra on the Rockstar blog here. Twitch Prime subscribers that declare their GTAO perks bundle earlier than the tip of the 19th will get the Master Penthouse free when the on line casino launches, giving entry to some additional options and co-op missions. The present discounts on in-game properties have been prolonged to the 24th.
