Online casino at popular games: Roulette in CS:GO and Casino in GTA Online
Bogdan LashchenkoOnline casino games have grown all over the world. And this is reflected in the increase in the number of sites dedicated to slot machines, roulette, poker and other modalities. This is now a cultural phenomenon. With this, casino games are no longer restricted to specialized sites. An example of this is its increasingly strong presence in the world of games.
Since 2019 Diamond Casino & Resort has become a hit as an indoor game in GTA. Another point of similarity between video games and online casinos is the growing supply of CS GO gamble sites of roulette where you can play with CS:GO skins.
Next, we tell you how these two casino game options work in the gaming world. We also talk about other examples of connection between the most popular online casino 2024 and video games. In fact, examples of this abound.
The Diamond Casino & Resort in GTA Online
GTA Online is one of Rockstar's most successful games. Since it was released in 2013, it has had millions of fans. Most of them, of course, interested in the main adventures. These include, for example, the mission to protect Diamond Casino & Resort. However, another attraction of the GTA online casino is actually playing casino games.
It wasn't always like this. After the launch of GTA Online, players spent many years without being able to enter the casino. In fact, they didn't even know what was inside it. After all, they were greeted with the door closed and only an Opening Soon notice at the entrance to the establishment.
That only changed in 2019, when Rockstar announced the opening of the site to players. Since then, they can access the online casino and play in it as if it were a real casino. This includes, for example, slot machines, table games like roulette and blackjack, and horse racing betting. Simply exchange GTA$, the in-game currency, for casino chips.
CS:GO roulette
CS:GO's relationship with online casino games is quite different. In fact, it came about with the transformation of in-game skins into a valuable asset for players. Nowadays, the price of skins that you can earn or buy for CS:GO varies according to market demand. This eventually turned them into a virtual currency.
Nowadays, many roulette sites allow betting exclusively with CS:GO skins. In these cases, the roulette wheels are a simpler variation of the original version. Instead of numbers, they have different colors. Some of the colors are rarer, and the payouts for betting on them (and getting it right) are also higher. As for prizes, of course, we are talking about other skins — some of them, rarer and harder to obtain.
One of the most trusted and popular sites for CS:GO roulette is CSGO Empire. Active since 2016, it already has over 5 million users. To know the prices of skins in the game, go to the Steam store or the skinwallet portal. Thus, it is possible to evaluate how much it pays to play roulette to win a skin or buy it directly.
Other famous examples
The trend is that cases like these will become more and more common. After all, both games and online casino games only grow in popularity.
See other examples of famous games that have already surrendered to casino games:
- Red Dead Redemption: This other Rockstar game served as a test run before the opening of Diamond Casino & Resort in GTA Online. The poker game is offered as a minigame in this case. It can be played in multiplayer and is available in Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.
- Fallout New Vegas: Another successful game today, the name already indicates that it has Las Vegas as its setting. In the midst of the hero's journey through the state of Nevada after the apocalypse, it is possible to enter a casino in the city that never sleeps. At the players disposal are slot machines, card games and other options.
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: In this case, the big attraction is Pazaak, a card game reminiscent of blackjack. This is probably not a coincidence. In Pazaak, which is presented as a game from the times of the Old Republic, the objective is to get close to the number 20 — without going over it.
Of course, among the examples we found, in addition to Pazaak in Star Wars, there are other options that are not necessarily casino games. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game Gwert has no origins in traditional casinos. However, despite being a more creative card game, it has all the elements of a typical online casino game.
