Summary
- A gamer in 2025 won $3.5 million on a $100,000 bet while playing roulette in GTA: San Andreas.
- San Andreas was praised for its innovation with minigames like casino gambling, setting a high standard.
- Even after many years, San Andreas remains a beloved game in the GTA series, with high expectations for GTA 6.
A Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas player has used up much of their luck in one go, after getting extremely lucky while playing the roulette table in the casino. The casino isn't usually among the best money-makers in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but it has proven lucrative for this particular gamer.
GTA: San Andreas was released back in 2004, and was instantly hailed as a high for the series. It was the final PlayStation 2-era Grand Theft Auto game, and it made great strides from previous entries, GTA 3 and Vice City. For some, it remains the best Grand Theft Auto game, even ahead of GTA 4 and 5. One thing is for sure - Grand Theft Auto 6 has a high bar to meet if it's to usurp San Andreas in the rankings for many gamers.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Almost Had a Very Different Map
A developer who worked on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas reveals that the game's map was almost very different in a significant way.
One gamer still enjoying Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 2025 was able to get extremely lucky while playing the roulette table in the casino. They put down a massive $100,000 on green, which returned a total of $3.5 million (as well as the stake) after it landed. It's difficult to know how many equivalent bets they lost before this one came in, but assuming it's less than 35, then they're still in profit with this win. According to the player, this was their first time ever hitting the jackpot, meaning it must have truly been their lucky day. One gamer in the thread didn't realize that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas isn't the first GTA game with casino gambling, which was interesting.
GTA: San Andreas Player Wins $3.5 Million at the Roulette Table
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the first title to embrace minigames in the series. There were similar elements in Vice City, but it was GTA: San Andreas that really expanded on the idea of bringing in things like the casino minigame. They have since become a franchise staple, appearing in even more significant ways in Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5. It's interesting to see how the legacy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is still important to this day.
It's a testament to the quality of the series as a whole that players are still enjoying all the old Grand Theft Auto games. Despite this, there's undoubtedly a massive desire for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 to finally be released by Rockstar. The good news is that just recently, Take-Two confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is still set for a Fall 2025 launch. It could slip into next year, but positive updates at this stage are still great news.
