Blackjack broken?

[Killy_the_Bid]

Hey folks - newbie here, enjoying the game but frustrated with issues

 

One of those is that (in online mode) I can never seem to get a game of blackjack - there's never anyone at the tables and I can't even sit down at them.

Have tried in Rhodes and in Van Horn - both work in story mode (solo), but in online mode nothing happens.

I would make camp and sleep to see if this would cause the dealer to spawn, but that is broken too - can never get my camp to spawn, but still get charged the feee for requesting it!

Are there any secrests to getting blackjack to work or is it just random?

Thanks, KtB

Well, you can't sleep in online so I wouldn't worry about that part of your concern. 

.......yeah, the camps seem not to work correctly for some more than others.

I can give you a list of complaints revolving around the state of the campsites but it wouldn't do you any good. Most people are having issues be them minor or major with their camps. I know that some people have mentioned Blackjack being broken on reddit. You can try contacting Rockstar about it if you'd like.

I never got it to work right either but I am not fussed over it enough to contact Rockstar. I know the game is still a work in progress and since the storymode is working just fine for me, I am willing to wait it out for online.

Camp seems to have improved since last update - I can actually get one occasionally now, though there are times that I click the icon, get the message that Cripps is setting it up, then 10 seconds later he decides to tear it down. Since I was finally able to spawn one and start the trader missions, it has improved thankfully, as I was about to give up with the camp being so important to trader missions.

 

As for blackjack, plays fine in story mode, but tables are still entirely empty and seem to be just scenery in online mode

If I am not mistaken, you can't play online in certain areas. Like depending on what server you are in according to your IRL location. I could be wrong but it is worth checking into.

Yep, but I'm not in Bahrain, I'm in the UK and poker plays just fine!

The blackjack tables, however are always empty for me (except in story mode)

Yeah if you can't get the tables to work, switch your region on your PC, Xbox, or PS. This will allow you to play somewhere where it is legal to have it in the game.

[Killy_the_Bid]

PCs do not "switch region"!

I have a real casino just down the road, could gamble all day if I wanted to - location should not be the issue and it was not resolved by connecting via other countries (VPN)

Am I to understand from this that others are able to play blackjack in online mode without issues? (NOT story mode, as I already said, that works just fine).

Also again, the poker tables work fine, but not blackjack. If it were a regional issue, neither should work!

Blackjack has never been available online on any platform... poker only... not sure why, as it's avaiable to play in GTA 5
