Grand Theft Auto Online is played by millions all over the planet, but the game certainly isn't without its issues. While Rockstar Games enacts fixes and patches fairly often, issues pop up from time to time for players, like one who recently found themselves trapped inside the Casino.
GTA Online's Casino is a popular place for players to visit, not only offering a variety of gambling games to partake in, but a daily giveaway, as well. As a result, many players take the opportunity to drop by at least once per day to spin the wheel and see if they get lucky.
That may have been the intent of Redditor theyhaveher, who found themselves suddenly trapped within the confines of the GTA Online Casino. As seen in the video shared by the player, when they entered the casino, the NPCs who usually populate the area were nowhere to be found. Undeterred, the player proceeds ahead, only for the NPCs to load in shortly after. This is where the problem begins.
The player found themselves surrounded by three NPCs. Although they attempted to push their way out of the formation, the player was completely trapped and unable to escape. Unlike some online games, GTA Online lacks a GM system for emergencies like these. The easiest avenue of escape would likely be to log out and back in again, though some commenters mentioned that beginning a mission or one of GTA Online's heists would have teleported the character elsewhere.
Thankfully, this is a relatively minor glitch and one that can be avoided by other players easily enough. All players need to do is to make sure that the NPCs have loaded in before they try moving around.
While some glitches in GTA Online have been amusing, like one that sent cars flying off of an overpass, others have caused problems. Rockstar Games has been fairly quick to patch exploits that gamers have used to their advantage, and has even gone so far as to punish players utilizing glitches to pad their bank accounts, resetting their GTA Online accounts to remove any unfairly earned assets.
Since the Cayo Perico heist, GTA Online hasn't seen any major content updates, though rumors have claimed that could change in the future. Rather than rebooting GTA Online or creating a second online game, current rumors indicate that GTA Online's map may expand when Grand Theft Auto 6 finally launches, giving players more areas to explore and a graphical overhaul to enjoy.
GTA Online is available now for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
