Bizarre GTA Online glitch is trapping players in the casino

Diamond Casino in GTA Online

Visiting Los Santo’s Diamond Casino & Resort can be a fun time for any GTA Online players, but one bizarre bug is leaving players stuck inside the casino forever.

The Diamond Casino & Resort made its first appearance in-game back in 2019, found on the corner of Vinewood Park Drive in East Los Santos. Not only does the location have a casino, but it also has a master penthouse, a hotel, and garages for players to store vehicles in.

It’s no surprise that it has become a fan-favorite spot for GTA Online players looking to have some fun, whether it’s using their free spins at the Lucky Wheel to get a reward, or gamble their hard-earned GTA$ on games like poker, blackjack, or roulette.

While some players never want to leave The Diamond, an unfortunate glitch is ensuring that some can never walk out the doors — whether they want to or not.

In a clip uploaded to the /r/GTAOnline subreddit, /u/theyhaveher decides to visit The Diamond, sauntering through the front doors ready to drop some money on the game of his choosing.

In a weird turn of events, he walks into a weirdly empty resort with nobody walking around or enjoying the games, making for an eery look at The Diamond. That didn’t last long though, as suddenly NPCs appeared out of thin air, populating the casino.

Unfortunately, this put the player in a very unfortunate position, as three NPCs spawned around him, trapping him so that he couldn’t move from his position. Try as he might, the computer-generated characters would not budge, leaving him stuck there until one of them decided to move.

Getting out of this is a bit of a pain, as you’ll either have to wait in the hope that one walks off or you’ll simply need to exit the game and jump back on, which should send you back to your apartment.

There’s no word on whether Rockstar will do anything to fix this, but it’s probably a good idea to wait a few seconds for NPCs to spawn in the next time you visit an empty Diamond casino.
