Ask any GTA Online player what their most coveted feature for the title is, and chances are they'll say it's a Casino.

The Casino, located on the most easterly point of LSC, has captivated player imaginations for sometime now. Quite odd you would think, considering it's just another inaccessible building in an environment chock full of inaccessible buildings. There's one difference with this one though, and that's the big 'Coming Soon!' sign emblazoned across its parking lot.

Naturally, fans presumed that this was a direct hint from Rockstar, implying that a fully fledged gambling add on would be heading to San Andreas before Online's life cycle would come to a close. Though these predictions have, ultimately, failed to pan out, there's nothing to say that Rockstar won't have such a mode in mind for RDR's inevitable prequel/sequel/whatever.

Of course, gambling was one of the best distractions of Redemption's single player, and there's no denying the hilarious possibilities that could abound after swindling a rival in a saloon of your choosing. If you're looking to get your Doc Holliday on (minus the crippling alcohol addiction), there's no better way to do so than by pitching up in a bar and owning your table of choice.
