Is the penthouse worth buying?

[James]

I can't get twitch prime so is the penthouse worth it?
Is there any way I can make money?

Honestly this update is more of a money sink than money maker. Lots of new stuff to blow your funds on, but there's only gambling if you want to make money - and you know how gambling usually goes for making money.

No not at all its just for showing off like the yacht. But cool location tho.

You won't make money from this. In fact, buying a penthouse will only add a 500 GTA$ daily bill to your tap, just like all the other properties. And for every module you add to the penthouse it adds an extra 100 GTA$.

This is the first update where you get to pay 100 GTA$ per day just to own a regular 10 car garage.

But to answer the first question... it depends on the kind of player you are. Owning a penthouse gets you full access to the casino (you could also buy a guest day pass for 500 GTA$) so that you can gamble.

The penthouse itself is sorta fun but also nothing new. Basically you can buy extensions ("modules") which add already existing stuff to your penthouse. So: you can get a barber, a hot tub, a bar & bartender, a cinema and all that in your penthouse. Stuff you can also find across Los Santos. And stuff that doesn't really 'do' anything.

What could be fun is having access to the new missions. Payout is mediocre to plain out bad but some missions can be fun to play, I'm enjoying the "VIP missions" so far.
