Players earn money which they can then spend\nwithin GTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GTA casino membership costs around\n$500 and includes 5000 chips, for players to use as they wish. There are also\nother memberships available such as Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these memberships demand players to\npay a different price, and in return, they receive plenty of features. Through\nthese memberships, RockstarGames are making lots of real money, and they don&#8217;t\nwant to lose this opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Diamond Casino was launched in the\nGTA online game after an update made by Rockstar Games on 23rd July in 2019.\nSince then, it has received a positive response with many stating that gamers\nshould have the freedom to choose whether they want to gamble or not, despite\nothers being against the new update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems as though other games are\njumping on the social casino gaming bandwagon, with 2K Games also set to\nwelcome a number of casino-style game mechanics to <a href=\"https:\/\/nba.2k.com\">NBA 2K20<\/a>. Players of the renowned basketball game will be able to unlock player\ncards for My Team mode, through the likes of slots and a spinning wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Rockstar is trying to play safe with the new social casino entry, with many countries imposing a ban on such initiatives that involve real-money gambling through games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5a7f62bca6ed6b2532659c32bf1feee17fcfa887.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5a7f62bca6ed6b2532659c32bf1feee17fcfa887.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5a7f62bca6ed6b2532659c32bf1feee17fcfa887.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5a7f62bca6ed6b2532659c32bf1feee17fcfa887.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5a7f62bca6ed6b2532659c32bf1feee17fcfa887.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5a7f62bca6ed6b2532659c32bf1feee17fcfa887.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch saw many players not be able\nto purchase chips, with bans being imposed in 50+ countries such as the likes\nof China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. But many fans were shocked to see Portugal on\nthe list of banned countries. This was due to the fact that in order to offer\nsocial gaming and gambling, the organization first needs to obtain a license\nfrom the Portugal Ministry of Internal Affairs, making it a tricky add-on to offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the UK and US also looking to\ntighten their laws with regards to online gambling, game publishers hope for a\nfruitful future in this sector as most of their players hail from these\nlocations. Online gambling has been in the limelight for several years now.\nGamblers can enjoy their favourite games whether it is roulette, poker or\nslots, through a number of traditional online\ncasinos, such as the likes of those found on online <a href=\"https:\/\/labslots.com\/\">casino comparison websites such as Labslots<\/a>.\nThe difference here is that these go-to online gambling outlets are regulated,\nas opposed to the in-game gambling being offered by GTA online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With gamers now being\nable to take their interest in gambling to a new level through GTA and 2K20, Rockstar Games are\nexperimenting with a lot of aspects to make this update as smooth as possible\nand attract minimum damage from imposing laws.\nWith the right moves, this can only set to aid toward game publishers taking\nthe limelight in the social casino gaming scene throughout the US and UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real money means real business, and\nthis is what social casinos are all about, and for many gaming lovers, this is\na bold move; we are set to see a lot more online games following suit and\nintroducing social casinos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of traditional game publishers have already started taking a piece of the social casino space, with Rockstar Games recently launching the Diamond Casino &amp; Resort to the popular Grand Theft Auto (GTA) online game.
