With the ever-increasing popularity of casinos, it perhaps should not come as a surprise that many video games have decided to incorporate them into their stories and maps.
In fact, casinos within video games have become rather integral parts of a game’s plot and storylines, with some using these establishments as key locations and points whereby many can see the video game take shape and the action can be as entertaining as possible.
These are just some of the video games that feature a virtual casino:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Arguably one of the best video games to have ever been created, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is just one of the top titles to have ever incorporated a number of different virtual casinos within its game.
Gamers who have played this video game should know all about it, but it is perhaps truly staggering that there are 13 different virtual casinos that are located within the game, although not all of them are available to be use.
Each of the virtual casinos is located in the city of Las Venturas, with three of them accessible to players. Caligula’s Palace, Casino Floor, and Four Dragon Casino all provide players with the chance to play classic casino games such as roulette, blackjack, video poker, slot machines, and the Wheel of Fortune game.
The Sims 3: Lucky Simoleon Casino DLC
Gamers who love The Sims series were arguably treated to one of the best virtual casinos to have ever been created when they bought the Lucky Simoleon Casino as part of a downloadable content package.
The casino is one that is incredibly complete and features everything that can be expected when going to a real casino, with the Lucky Simoleon Casino providing a player’s Sim the chance to enjoy a game of roulette, a slot machine, card games, and many other classic table games.
Furthermore, the DLC pack allows players to be able to create and manage their own virtual casinos, therefore providing a truly exceptional virtual casino experience when playing The Sims 3.
Fallout: New Vegas
Considering that the game is played in the home of casinos, Fallout: New Vegas still provides players with the opportunity to go to a virtual casino in this game despite the fact that the nuclear apocalypse has wiped out almost everything else.
In fact, there is not a shortage of virtual casinos to visit either, with seven that can be accessed in this Fallout: New Vegas game title.
The casinos are Primm Vikki and Vance Casino, Atomic Wrangler Casino, Gomorrah, The Tops, Sierra Madre Casino, Ultra-Luxe, and the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters. Each of them offers a plethora of different games to choose from and play, although some have limitations and do not offer games that can be found at other virtual casinos that have been included in the game
Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar Games have made a number of games that feature virtual casinos, and their Red Dead Redemption series (1 and 2) are two games that also feature the virtual establishments to players playing this Wild West-themed third-person shooter game.
Players will be able to experience some of the old western gambling themes with the way that the gambling games have been portrayed, with Red Dead Redemption 2 providing the virtual casino with games such as blackjack, poker, and dominoes each being playable.
Grand Theft Auto V: Online
Just as they did with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Rockstar Studios decided to provide their GTA V game with a virtual casino, although this could only be accessible in the online version of the game.
The virtual casino is called the Diamond Casino & Resort and was introduced as a huge update that players were able to access.
Owned by Thorton Duggan and run by General Manager Agatha Baker, the Diamond Casino has pretty much everything that gamers and casino visitors would love if it were a real establishment. This virtual casino allowed for players to be able to experience a number of different sections and areas, with the main lobby, an Inside Track betting area, as well as two small VIP-only areas.
The main lobby features a Lucky Wheel, whilst there are various slot machines available. Those players who had a standard membership would be able to play roulette, blackjack, and Three Card Poker.
