Rockstar has announced the release date for the highly-anticipated casino update for the evergreen multiplayer game mode of GTA 5. Players of GTA Online will be able to fulfill their fantasies of a high-roller’s life with the long-awaited introduction of a casino. Check out the trailer!
Ever since GTA 5’s online mode launched shortly after the game’s original release way back in 2013, GTA Online has become a phenomenon in the multiplayer scene. With years upon years of updates, the online mode has grown in scope and quality. But one aspect has been sorely missing for all these years, to the dismay of millions of players. A casino.
The massive construction project on the corner of Vinewood Park Drive and Mirror Park Boulevard is nearing completion, radically changing the skyline of Los Santos forever. When the brand-new Diamond Casino & Resort opens its doors, one and all are welcome inside to play, or just to stay in the most luxurious residence in the entire state. More than just a place to let go of your inhibitions and your sense of the passage of time, The Diamond is the one-stop destination for quality entertainment, high-end living and a range of experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
Last month, Rockstar finally announced that exactly this was inbound. Titled The Diamond Casino & Resort, a whole new experience is soon to come on July 23rd. As the name already implies, the update will feature more than just a Casino for players to lose win big time in Three Card Poker, Blackjack, Roulette and Slot Machines.
A big part of the new update is the Penthouse which allows players to have a new property where they can lounge in a pool, have parties, and enjoy access to a wide variety of services. It won’t just offer a luxurious place to hang out but also offer brand-new co-op missions. As a penthouse owner, players become a member of the Diamond Family who needs their business protected.
