In the online mode of GTA 5, GTA Online, a huge event could soon start. The opening of the casino. Fans have been waiting for this since the release in 2013. Now there are solid hints that something is happening with a new update.
Update June 13: Rockstar has now officially confirmed what all casino fans want to hear!
What’s new? The casino in GTA Online has been a topic for players for over 5 years. Hopes frequently arise that Rockstar will finally open it with an update.
The building has been present on the map of Los Santos from the start. In 2013, the online mode of GTA 5 began, but players were not allowed inside the casino. You can only walk around outside, see the advertising for the casino, or race through the parking lots.
However, something has changed about the casino in the latest update. As data miner TezFunz2 reports on Twitter, the casino update could be released in just a few days.
Casino in GTA Online – When can it be accessed?
This is what the data miner says: On Twitter, TezFunz2 writes:
There have been rumors that the next update for GTA Online will revolve around the casino. I can confirm this.
Right now, Rockstar has updated the background script with specific data that executes changes at the casino.
You will notice the changes near the casino as we get closer to the release.
When will the changes arrive? The data miner provides more context to the statement. He says that the area around the casino will change. People should check back next week.
What will change at the casino? TezFunz2 explains that some items around the casino will be replaced with new ones. “Rockstar will soon make it look like the casino is under renovation,” writes the data miner.
Currently (as of June 6), if you visit the casino, you will see a dumpster, wooden planks, and barriers in front of the entrance.
Why is this plausible? There have already been many rumors about the casino opening in GTA Online. However, in the discussions among players, the counter-argument often arose that Rockstar might not be allowed to integrate gambling elements into the online game.
Recently, however, Rockstar unlocked the poker feature in Red Dead Online, which many players wished for. This shows that such a feature could definitely work in Rockstar’s online games, even if some players are excluded from poker.
As VG247 reports, it would be possible to implement the casino and gambling in GTA Online with a second in-game currency that cannot be purchased with real money. These could be the well-known “chips” used for gambling.
The credibility of this theory is supported by the fact that the data miner TezFunz2 has previously been correct with such leaks.
