Description
The Four Dragons Casino is one of the three accessible casinos in GTA San Andreas (along with Caligula's Palace and 'Casino Floor'). Designed in a distinctively East Asian theme, the casino serves as the San Fierro Triads' hub of operation in Las Venturas (although no group of Triads can be seen outside the casino unless the player modifies the 'pedgrp.dat' file) and thus serves as a contact point for Wu Zi Mu in the city and later, the organization point for the casino heist mission strand.
Being an accessible casino, the casino's interior is also decked in oriental styling, and offers the player access to various playable gambling facilities, including blackjack and roulette tables, video poker, slot machines, as well as various wheels of fortune; security personnel in suits are also numerous in the casino floor, being programmed to attack the player if they choose to behave violently in the casino. Other accessible features within the casino are non-interactive, including a central bar (where female bartenders dressed in cheongsam-like minidresses work), the dining area of its restaurant, and a golden statue of Buddha with reels from a slot machine resting on a pile of coins.
The casino additionally provides the player with a save point outside the entrance available after 'Learning to Fly'; weapons also spawn in front of the entrance as a reward for collecting all horseshoes in and around the city. It is one of the only save points in the game to be located outside a building.
The Four Dragons Casino is suggestively based on the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Inaccessible interiors
There are two interiors in The Four Dragons Casino that are normally inaccessible to the player. These interiors are seen only during cutscenes. The first is a management room only seen during the cutscenes for the missions 'Fender Ketchup', 'Explosive Situation', 'You've Had Your Chips', 'Fish in a Barrel', and 'A Home in the Hills', comprising a large room with a desk, fish tank, and CCTV screens. The other is a custodian closet in the basement of the casino, containing a broken slot machine, a generator, and an air vent; it is seen in several missions, specifically being used for planning in the heist missions.
The interiors can be accessed through the use of cheats, allowing access into the interior realm, or modifications.
Trivia
- In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, a Love Fist reunion concert to be held at the casino in the winter of 1998 may be heard on the radio.

It looks like the newly released Diamond Casino and Resort DLC that was released in GTA Online is banned and unavailable to players in certain countries. Many players have been reporting that the DLC is not accessible to players in countries that have strict gambling laws.
Players have reported that the Diamond Casino and Resort is unavailable as a message appears on the screen saying “This feature is not available for you.”
A list of countries where the DLC is banned has appeared on Reddit. The list outlines the list of countries where all the players have been reporting the inaccessibility of the Casino DLC. Other user accounts report that they were unable to purchase them in-game virtual chips for the casino. The countries include many European countries along with China and North Korea as well, where gambling is illegal.
Other players from countries like Peru, Argentina, Vietnam, and Iceland say that they can purchase the penthouse but cannot participate in any of the gambling activities or card games that the casino offers.
Rockstar Games would have been well aware of the concern of loot boxes and gambling issues that have been raised over the past few months. The developer may have made the DLC content unavailable in countries where they could have faced some backlash or conflict.
This has started a debate over at Reddit where discussion about the casino being banned is on the high. Some users argue that while the casino only features virtual gambling, loot boxes are still allowed when they are effectively the same thing.
A Reddit user also commented on the issue saying,
How is it gambling when you can’t cash out GTA $$$ or transfer to other users? They are only for buying useless chrome cars. If that’s forbidden, lootboxes are too. And all luck-based drops ever.
If you are also unable to play the Casino DLC, some Reddit users have said that working around with a VPN can solve your problem, and can let you play. However, this may be a temporary solution and can risk being banned by Rockstar Games.
