GTA Online players in more than 50 countries are missing out on the new virtual casino games.
Earlier this week, we lauded the launch ofGrand Theft Auto’s long-awaited in-game casino. After years ofspeculation and anticipation, the virtual gambling den finally openedits doors to the population of Los Santos.
The new GTA Online Diamond Casino &Resort is all we could have ever hoped for, and then some. Itfeatures an array of playable casino games (for in-game currency, notreal money), loads of accessible resort amenities, a purchasablepenthouse suite property, and of course, lots of new criminalendeavors (a.k.a. missions) to keep the game interesting.
What no one (accept its creators) realized upon release of the update was that, depending on where a player lives, their experience within the new GTA Online casino might be different than someone elses. Specifically, some players will be able to partake in the casino games, and some players will not. Which experience you receive is based entirely on the gambling laws of your local jurisdiction.
50+ Countries Miss Out on GTA Virtual CasinoGames
According to a multitude of reports,legislative gambling restrictions have prevented the full unpackagingof the content update for players in more than 50 countries. Wheremost of us have been given free reign to utilize all of the resort’smany amenities, in some areas of the world, all are accessible exceptfor the casino games.
For the most part, it doesn’t change the waythe game plays out. There is never a requirement to gamble tocomplete a mission or progress the game. However, the Lucky Wheeldoes offer a chance to win one of the game’s Legendary Motorsportvehicles, like the rarest and most expensive of them all, Thrax. Butit’s not the only way to get this Adder-like sports car. You couldalso pay over 2 million in-game currency for it.
Why the Ban on GTA Online Gambling?
The ultimate question is whether GTA V’sDiamond Casino actually constitutes gambling. It is just a videogame, right? Yes, and no. GTA Online is an ongoing social experiencein which players can continuously use real cash to purchase items orin-game currency. In this way, those who can play the casino gamesare capable of buying casino chips with real money.
It’s not really gambling because a playercannot reverse the exchange process, converting in-game currency backto cash. But the elements of gambling are all there, and the abilityto get something special – those legendary vehicles – for farless than the usual purchase price – can be tempting.
If one were tempted enough to continue buyingGTA currency and playing the games until they won that car, then yes,it could constitute not just gambling, problem gambling. So injurisdictions where there is an outright and explicit ban on allforms of gambling, Rockstar Games felt the need to omit the playablecasino games from the update.
