How Grand Theft Auto Diamond Casino Update Works
GTA created a replica of a casino. Players use the GTA dollars they have earned over their career to buy chips and gamble at slots and other casino games. Similar to any casino, players stand the chance to claim amazing wins or lose everything they bet on. GTA makers have been promising this feature for years and finally rolled it out.
Many of its loyal followers took the internet and social media bemoaning their inability to access the casino feature. Memes flooded social media with players who were initially excited about the feature realising they could not play. A simple “This feature is not available for you.” message pops up if you are in one of the countries that does not allow this feature.
