It looks like the Casino in GTA will finally be opening soon...

Really looking forward to this to breathe some new life into the game.

Also prepared for R* to completely c*ck it up too!

The paywall is probably one thing it can’t hide behind. 

The main thing stopping a casino being implemented so far is the ability to buy funds to gamble with using real money. 

That’s a big problem in America due to their strict gambling laws especially online gambling. 

The only way they’ll get away with this is if they introduce a new currency for use in the casino that can’t be bought using external funds. I can’t see them allowing shark card money to be spent in the casino.

I did wonder that myself. They must have found a way round it?

Like you said, perhaps you win casino 'chips' from doing various things?

RDR has two different currencies. One earned through game play and another you can put real money into. This is the only way to get around it.

It doesn't make sense to me why R* would add this to GTA after putting it in RDR. It's almost like they are trying to push people away from RDR. 

I get that GTA is likely still a bigger money maker than RDR but if they have to put a new currency in that can't be bought with shark cards then there is little to be earned for them with a dlc of type.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

We all know that R* knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to making money. If this gets implemented than I'm sure they have all the bases covered.

They would add it for the millions of people like me that have zero interest in RDO and still enjoy playing GTAO. 

Odd as it sounds, they want BOTH games making them money. They just dropped the ball with RDO but will slowly straighten it out. They are just making it fit the forms that make them the most money which isn't good for folks that play in crews together.

If poker is available it will rule out the one reason I had to consider getting RDR for, somdoesnt make much sense from that point of view.

However dropping it first in the game that needs a boost online probably did.

I've read a lot here and on the DB site about how greedy and money hungry R* are.  I would bet everything on most/all of that being on Take 2.  It's almost always the publisher, not the developer.

I think this goes without saying, R* create something... T2 say ‘hey that’s great, now tweak it to be more profitable’.

Its just a knee jerk reaction from me to blame R*. When looking at the bigger picture the publisher calls the shots economics wise. Both companies are here to make money though.

I always thought, since the huge profits of GTAV, that R* should go fully independent, but since they're a subsidiary company of T2, rather than owned by them, I don't know how hard/possible that would be.  Also, T2 are the ones with the rights to GTA/RDR, so there's also that.  Can you see R* putting all of their efforts in to a totally new IP?

I am not to familiar with the facts but was always under the impression they were stuck together.

I would have thought there was no ‘escape’ and the only chance of something would be a new company altogether. A lot easier to suggest than to actually set up, especially considering the costs of a triple A release these days.

Benzies is/was trying this, not sure what has happened with the ‘Everywhere’ project though.

I don't really see what there is to get excited in with the Casino thing.

Pretend poker etc. doesn't really appeal to me, but hopefully it has some decent missions attached and/or has something deeper to it.

On the downside it's another kick in the face to the "Rockstar never listen to the customer" brigade.

"What have R* ever added for us?"

"What about the low riders"

"Well yeah, obviously the low riders, but other than that what have R* ever added for us?"

"Didn't people ask for a biker update"

etc.

I swear if they send everybody who played the game a million in real world cash people would moan and say they've only sent the money out so that people will buy shark cards.

 

They may add a load of stuff that I am not so into, really I just want more Creator updates and new cars (preferably without the weird bouncy handling lark they are messing about with), but they continually add stuff that people bleat on about wanting and then when they do you still have people moaning that they don't listen, despite the evidence staring them in the face.

Despite giving us great games they still make stupid decisions when it comes to bringing their games online.

Still looking forward to the DLC, especially on how the currency gambling is handled if it cannot be purchased in any way.
