I've lost 90% of my blackjack hands! (And 50K CHIPS LIMIT)

[Enivoke]

50K limit, which is stupid low, there are high roller tables, where you could bet 50K, so you can actually play one hand only. and I've lost 90% of my hands without even actually having the option to stand or hit, because the dealer either has a 20, or an instant blackjack.
But I don't care as much on my loss as much as I care about the 50K limit

Why have high roller tables when we can literally only bet once on those, might as well remove those tables.

Is GTA a free to play game where if you lose your money you have to either watch an ad or wait an hour to "collect" more money?

Seriously guys don't get rockstar get away with this. Odds don't really help either.

it’s not a 50K limit lmao, that’s just the max you can buy at a time, there’s a 50 minute cooldown for buying chips.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the most successful games in the history of this industry and it has been reduced to F2P garbage because all that profit made isn't enough.

You clearly didn't understand anything I said. Of course I know the 50K isn't the limit you could have, because I've had upwards of 300K. the problem is the actual limit you could withdraw, if you lose it, which most likely you will, it's gambling, you have to wait an hour to play casino anymore, so if you're unlucky, in most cases I am, I literally can't play the new update, and have to sit afk or do something else, or just leave the game al ltogether.

That's because Blackjack (in theory) is the only game they offer, that isn't 100% luck based, but involves some tactical thinking. So they just gave the dealer insane odds to compensate, just to make sure nobody actually makes any profit from it...

Blackjack is rigged to make it extremely hard to make a profit if any at all

Yes, that's what I was saying. Because it's the only game that realistically isn't 100% luck based (as opposed to roulette and their stupid 3-card poker nonsense)... so they fixed the odds.

It has been extremely obvious that if the dealer shows a 10 card or suit card they will almost always have another 10 or suit in the facedown card

I do understand that the odds are rigged, b ut if they are rigged, don't you think Rockstar will just allow a higher limit than 50K so they MAKE SURE we lose the money?

Seriously 50K is nothing, you play 1 hand on high roller max bet, and it's over, is this how you want the casino to be? why even bother make a high roller when you could only bet once ?

[MENTOR]

Oh, Blackjack is rigged af. Played around 30 hands tonight, I think there were maybe.. two where the dealer had less than 17, and three where the dealer went bust. Also, doubling down almost always meant the next card drawn was 5 or less.

There's so little obfuscation about how badly the game cheats, it's almost commendable.

Part of me wishes there was no way to convert chips to GTA$, so R* could make the casino games not cheat and just emulate real life more than 'Enjoy that 5% chance to win anything' punishment dungeon they have now.

[₦₣Đ]

imagine that, gambling in a game is just like real life. You lose more than you win. Which is why this dlc is garbage. Just like Rockstar.

So on conclution, extremely bad odds for the player, 50K limit is nothing if you have a high roller table as a VIP, one bet and you're done.

Do you guys think they should either remove the limit, but keep the chips withdraw at 50k? so if you lose you'll have to stand up and get another 50K?

Or maybe increase the limit to lets say 200K, so we have more room to play with our money.

So long as players can exchange chips for GTA$, it will be weighted against winning - even arbitrarily so like in the case of blackjack.

My personal preference would be that you can convert GTA$ into chips, but not the other way around, and then entice players to do so because of the items for sale in the Casino store.

But also remember that one of Rockstar's likely aims here is to remove currency from the game, to both lessen the impact of modders and to also, ahem, 'encourage' Shark Card sales. They're not fools - they have years and years of data and analytics that (more than likely) inform these decisions.

To be fair since every hand is basically a new deck of cards almost half the deck is 10 or an ace. pretty big odds for the dealer to indeed have a 10 or ace.

Honestly, I feel you but that isn't near enough games to figure out if the odds are rigged. That is just how luck works with rng. It is actually the reason casinos make money. They know they will lose all the time to people and sometimes really big, but the odds always work out in a way that with enough betting, the advantage that they have over all players using the odds makes them money.

I can't speak for the video of the dealer pulling out a card from his pocket though. I've looked for it and not seen it and might just be lag. My tables have had some fun stuff happen with lag so far.
