GTA Online Casino Rampage: Leeches, Champagne, Old Friends and Excess Between Blackjack Games

It was the biggest opening I’ve seen since they opened a grocery store on my street corner. A true celebration for the players of GTA Online the day in which The Diamond Casino & Resort opened its doors back in July 2019. Its knock-on effect was immediate and colossal.

And it is that the update implemented by Rockstar was so important that it marked the highest peak of players in the history of multiplayer mode. We are talking about the fact that six years after its release, thousands of users just wanted to waste their money on roulette and bet on horse racing. Much legend had been generated around the casino.

A huge building, with a racetrack, car park and huge facilities that are of no use? Even in the history of GTA V we couldn’t really do anything there – like so many other places – but the developer realized the potential it harbored. Therefore, I have decided to take a look for the first time with the wallet well protected.

Would you like a cocktail, sir?

My personal security measures, which do not go beyond keeping my hands glued to my wallet, were unfounded. the casino of GTA Online he doesn’t need to hold you up at gunpoint like a common thug to get your money. He knows how to seduce you stealthily and that it is you directly, with a stupid smile on your face, who ends up writing a check in which you practically mortgage your apartment.

It’s all as simple as starting with small details. I pull up with my Saber Turbo at the gate and I can use valet parking for a very cheap $50 fee. The casino employee smiles at me, I entrust him with the keys and I have the car well protected in the underground parkingwell away from inopportune bombs from other players.

The good vibes continue as soon as I walk through the doors and into the main room. I hardly have time to be dazzled by the myriad of lights and visual cues when Tom Connors, Executive Director of Customer Service, intercepts me. He tries to sneak me a juicy subscription to the casino so I can make full use of the facilities and while he dazzles me with his honeyed voice, he pours me champagne.

Distract myself with alcohol? Know my weak points the condemned. The truth is that the space is very varied, with slots, blackjack, three card poker and more. A paradise for those who do not need to keep money under the mattress. And like in good bookmakers, the entry fee is ridiculous. Just 500 dollars to become a member (a bargain compared to Los Santos Tuners) and they give me 5,000 chips to spend playing.

To this we must add the 100 chips with which I already appear and another 1,000 more that are given daily. Come on, here the one who doesn’t bet on red or ends up breaking a slot machine lever is because he doesn’t want to. There are always reasons to re-enter the casino every day, especially if they give away a car with roulette spins.

A roulette that is impossible to escape. Even if you don’t hit the jackpot, you always get a reward and with the first print of the day completely free. However, gold and jewelry always end up being prohibitively expensive.

The train of opulence

Yes, I’ve ever seen a poor devil walk out of the casino with empty pockets, but I had no idea what’s on the roof. The resort is a scandal, with swimming pools, private rooms, bars and terraces that are breathtaking. The parties that can be thrown here are championship and at night everything looks even better.

In fact, I think at The Diamond Casino & Resort they look at you even badly for not leaving you the salary of each month. You already have an idea of ​​what kind of clientele they want me to look like: well dressed, high standing and drinking a daiquiri no matter what time of day. They don’t reject the least wealthy, but it can seem like you’re out of place.

But the moment I realize I’m dealing with leeches is when I start looking at penthouse prices. The cheapest of all costs $1,500,000 and the most expensive goes up to $6,500,000. Some will believe that I am a giant Homer bathed in gold, but they are wrong. I can hardly make a profit out of my nightclub, the Black Hole, to even think of going on such a splurge.

However, I need to see firsthand what exactly is inside such a luxurious apartment. Especially after seeing how a actor/singer/blower with an ego to the stars decides to set up a bodorrio of noses in his attic. The people are so desperate that they almost kiss their feet to be let in. Despite the show of pathos -with my character included-, the day makes me completely happy.

He no longer recognizes me with my new look, but I can never forget his exuberant personality. Damn Brucie from GTA IV is in Los Santos and now I really have to manage to get into the party. Some good shark fin pills will be in more than one Brucie drink during the lag.

Still, Lester calls to warn me there’s an opportunity to come in and get a juicy pinch. What if weapons, robbery equipment and some astronomical figures, which leaves me salivating and with a good mental note that heThe Ocean’s film trilogy they will finally work for me.

The truth is that I liked what I saw at The Diamond Casino & Resort. Exclusive promotions, bacchanals at full speed, blind bets and a desire to plunder your pocket that doesn’t bother me. In the end, we have come here to play and one of these days I will stop by to see how much I can get based on betting on the tables.

As a small appetizer, I played twice at the roulette wheel. 7,500 RP on the first print run and an urban gradient short sleeve t-shirt on the second print run. With such magnificent luck, I’m getting ready to live under some bridge in Los Santos.
