With each passing day bringing new speculations about the upcoming GTA 6, one question stands out: Will Rockstar give GTA 6 a casino? Given the success of the Diamond Casino & Resort in GTA 5, it seems highly likely that Rockstar will want to take advantage of this feature in their next game, but this hasn’t been confirmed. So in the future, could GTA 6 contain a virtual casino and, if so, what might it look like?
What Could Players Expect?
GTA 6 could embrace the full potential of a casino. The game’s advanced AI and vast open worlds will mean that a casino would be much more than just a static backdrop, there to provide flavor, but ultimately just theming. Instead, we would expect it to function as a real, dynamic part of the setting as a whole. Maybe we’ll get detailed NPC dealers with individual personalities and backstories to ensure that each one feels like a character in their own right, and not just there to fill the role of dealer in the games.
Then there’s the games on offer. Rockstar could just provide simple pull-the-lever-and-wait style slots, but it seems far more likely that they will choose to draw inspiration from the games you might find at a real casino online. Taking ideas from the kind of high-quality games that you might expect from these platforms would really help them sell the idea that your player character has truly stepped into a luxury casino.
Additionally, they could look for ways to incorporate the casino games into the main plot. Imagine a heist mission that involves successfully bluffing the NPCs in a high-stakes poker tournament to get them to hand over information you need. Good bluffing in poker is more than just convincing the other players to fold while you’re holding a bad hand; it’s also about the ability to quietly sit there, knowing your hand is likely better than anything else at the table and give nothing away as the other players up their wagers.
If you want to see this for yourself, check out the video below and tell us it wouldn’t be fun to recreate that scene for yourself against a table full of NPCs when GTA 6 comes out.
There’s certainly lots of potential to blend casino games with side quests or even main story events, so there’s a very good chance that Rockstar will want to include a casino somewhere in their upcoming game. Players love feeling that they’ve outsmarted the NPCs, especially when those NPCs are actually clever enough to respond realistically to a good bluff.
Whether through cinematic storytelling or realistic gameplay, Rockstar certainly has the patented technology to breathe virtual life into any casino it pleases.
A Familiar Setting with New Opportunities
If GTA 6 features a casino, it will not only be in line with what the series has been about, but also serve to further enrich the game’s environment. In GTA 5, the Diamond Casino and Resort was more than just a backdrop for scenes to take place in — it was a living part of the game’s world, and players loved it.
In GTA 6, Rockstar could take this concept even further by using the latest technology to add even more features to the casino. The technology and hardware that our games run on has progressed significantly since the days of GTA 5 and the Diamond Casino and Resort, meaning that they will have a lot more resources at their disposal this time. In fact, we’re expecting everything about this game to be bigger, louder, and more impressive than its predecessors… so why shouldn’t the same apply to their casino scenes?
With a little luck, it won’t just be the games themselves that benefit from the improved hardware. We’re also hoping to see VIP sections and glamorous clubs to really capture that luxurious casino feel.
