Will GTA VI Have Poker? Rockstar’s Most Anticipated Game Has Card Players Buzzing

Anticipation for GTA VI continues to skyrocket as Trailer 3 speculation and leaked pre-order dates add to the buzz, while Rockstar’s poker history fuels curiosity about card games returning in Vice City.

A lucky player hits a massive 1,500x multiplier playing Cub3d!

The popular jackpot sit and go format over at BetRivers Poker recently made one lucky player very happy. They stumbled upon the rare 1,500x multiplier playing at a $10 level, walking away with $15,000. Just another reminder why so many players enjoy Cub3d games.

GTA VI hype is unlike anything we have seen before, but will it have in game poker?

Ok wow, my timeline is absolutely flooded with GTA VI pre-order dates leak, Trailer 3 speculation, and nonstop anticipation. Honestly, I’ve never seen hype for a game reach this level before. Rockstar is clearly building something massive.

Personally, I’ve played every GTA title from GTA III onwards, and GTA VI is one of those releases I genuinely cannot wait for.

But while everyone is focused on Trailer 3 and the November launch window (assuming there are no more delays), there’s one interesting question that I have on my mind: Will GTA VI have poker?

It might not sound like a headline feature for Rockstar’s next blockbuster, but it’s not a random question either. Rockstar has a long history of building gambling games and card games into its worlds, and poker has been one of the most memorable parts of that approach. The best example? Red Dead Redemption 2.

Dana White tries an armbar on Congress.

PokerNews reports that Dana White, best known for running the UFC and betting big in Vegas, is now trying to save poker pros from an unpopular new tax policy.

The Big Beautiful Bill, President Trump’s signature tax bill, capped the amount of gambling losses Americans can deduct at 90 percent. That means you could actually owe taxes even if you lost money all year.

It’s not clear if Trump’s administration will listen. But White will be hosting a UFC event on the White House lawn this summer, so maybe he can make his case in person.
