Grand Theft Auto is a gaming series which has grown to the level of phenomenon since it originally launched way back in 1997, and the expectations for any new series are huge. This means a huge amount of pressure, but the online reviews have generally been extremely positive. These have praised numerous aspects of this latest instalment of the franchise – the first entirely new edition since Grand Theft Auto IV six years ago – noting the complex world that the game is set in and the innovative way that the gaming has been structured. This latter element allows you to move between three different main characters if you play using single-player mode, with the ability to shift between playing as Franklin Clinton, Michael De Santa and Trevor Phillips, as the situation demands. The perspectives and situations that this places the gamer in are often daringly ‘dark’ – including a scene of torture – and this has led to some controversy, although the majority of players seem to like this gritty element. However, one key element of the Grand Theft Auto series which has been largely absent from V is casino gambling – although there are indications that this might change with the upcoming update, however until then you may want to practice (which you can do for free if you don’t want to gamble your real money) at http://www.gamingclub.com/au/online-roulette. There is a casino featured in the original version of GTA V, but it is not actually interactive (meaning you can’t gamble at it during the game). However previews of the downloadable content (DLC) update suggest that casino will be central to it. The presence of the Vinewood Park casino with the ‘opening soon’ sign on the outside always suggested that there were plans for this to be a future part of the game – and it seems heists as well as gaming will be available to players who download this update. The content leaks for the GTA V DLC also suggest games like roulette – meaning players should have the option of actually gambling to raise in-game cash as well, indicating that the relationship between GTA and casino gaming is far from over.

Boston, MA - April 12, 2014 - In front of a sellout crowd at PAX East 2014, ReedPOP, the world's leading producer of pop culture events, and Penny Arcade, one of the largest gaming communities on the Internet, announced the addition of a new PAX event to the calendar - PAX South. Slated to debut in San Antonio, Texas in early 2015, the southern addition marks the fourth PAX show and third to occur in the U.S., continuing the tradition of proving the most authentic celebration of game culture in the world.PAX South expands an event calendar that includes shows in Seattle, Boston, and Melbourne, Australia. The new show will build on the foundation of the PAX format giving fans a healthy mix of the latest and greatest in video games, tabletop games, game inspired music, competitive gameplay, and insight from leaders in the world of gaming. The annual events give gamers a PAX show for every season throughout the year.  "The love of gaming in all its many forms, whether that be on a TV, a computer, a phone, or even a tabletop, is hitting an all-time high. PAX gives gaming fans one place to get a glimpse of emerging trends and does it in a truly fun and interactive way," said Lance Fensterman, Global Vice President of ReedPOP. Robert Khoo, Penny Arcade President, added, "Since its launch in 2004, PAX events have doubled in size almost every year, and our Seattle and Boston events represent the two largest gaming festivals in North America. We've been hearing for years that those in the south had a tough time making it to the northern corners of the country; PAX South has always been a matter of 'when' rather than 'if.'" The addition of PAX South continues ReedPOP's recent expansion in the live events space as the company further solidifies its place as the world's number one provider of pop-culture events. Since the beginning of 2014 the company has announced the creation of a new consumer book event, BookCon, a targeted comic book convention in New York City, Special Edition: NYC, and the oversight of the largest comic convention in Australia, Oz Comic-Con. About PAXThe PAX series of shows (Prime, East, South, and Australia) represent some of the largest gaming festivals in the world, drawing tens of thousands of attendees to each. Connecting the world's leading video and tabletop game makers with their most avid and influential fans, the shows also focus on the cultural aspects of gaming with panels, concerts, tournaments, and freeplay areas.
