GTA 5 Online Casino update is out Next Week

Grand Theft Auto players have been looking forward to getting into gambling. The good news is that the players of Grand Theft Auto Online are not going to have to wait for long to get their hands the Casino DLC. On the 18th of July, Rockstar Games came up with a new trailer concerning the release of the Casino DLC. 

The GTA 5 Online Casino DLC will have a release date of  Tuesday July 23 on PS4, Xbox One and PCs . At the new GTA Casino in Vinewood Grand Theft Auto 5 Online players will be able to try their luck at traditional casino games like blackjack, roulette and on the slot machines.The GTA Casino also features a Penthouse area with VIP lounges, and the DLC will also bring with it the brand new Truffade Thrax super-car.

In addition to the new games, the developer also allows the player in gaining access to more of a customizing Master Penthouse. There is a slight catch when it comes to the Master Penthouse, and that is only the VIP members can access the play area. The Penthouse grants a new set of co-op missions, where you'll work with casino owner Tao Cheng to keep the place safe from rich, threatening Texans. Completing all the missions here will unlock a new vehicle for free, although Rockstar doesn't say what it is.

Rockstar hasn’t said if chips will be purchasable with real money, but in Red Dead Online, players gamble with in-game cash that can only be earned by playing the game, not by micro-transactions. Given internet gambling laws, it’s likely Rockstar will employ the same method in GTA Online. This way, players can’t spend real money or win fake money that is worth real cash in the casino. We’ve reached out to Rockstar for clarification.

Rockstar has been teasing the casino for a while, and it’s something players have wanted since GTA Online’s launch. While things in the casino update sound exciting and fun, they also sound extremely pricey: A private arcade, artwork, fancy clothing, and personal cinema certainly won’t come cheap. Hopefully exploring the casino and playing some games won’t cost an arm and a leg.

After a long journey, Microsoft has been finally decided to killing all of its iconic games including Hearts, Spades, Checkers and Backgammon  and MSN Go. After almost 20 years of entertainment, windows users are no longer be able to play these games. They started shutting down these games from Windows XP and ME then Windows 7 .

From now on the company would focusing on Xbox Cloud or XCloud, Xbox streaming that would be debuting in October, CNET reported on Friday. In a post to the Microsoft forums, Microsoft Moderator M. Hamer posted that they were going to begin shutting down the Internet Games services for Windows ME and XP starting on July 31st, 2019. For Windows 7 users, it will be shut down on January 22, 2020, eight days after Windows 7 reaches end of support. “While we’re saddened to leave this chapter behind, we continue to be committed to delivering engaging, delightful gaming experiences. We hope you’ll come with us on this journey and join the community of any of the other Microsoft casual games,” Hamer added.

There are bound to be web-based equivalents to these games, so you might not be completely stuck if you're determined to play something on an older PC. Microsoft would no doubt prefer that you upgrade to a Windows 10 system and play something from its own app store, though. As it is, it's almost surprising that support didn't end earlier. Microsoft stopped regular maintenance of Windows XP and ME years ago -- Internet Games on those platforms were clearly living on borrowed time, and Windows 7 isn't far behind

Microsoft has been focused on developing and launching its xCloud Xbox streaming service, which will become available in October. The service will let you play on devices like phones and tablets, and will work with all 3,500 games in the Xbox One library as well as the 1,900 titles still in development.

 The games affected by this shutdown are listed below:

• Internet Backgammon (XP/ME, 7)
• Internet Checkers (XP/ME, 7)
• Internet Spades (XP/ME, 7)
• Internet Hearts (XP/ME)
• Internet Reversi (XP/ME)
• MSN Go (7)
