May 19, 2019  Red Dead Online, the online component of Red Dead Redemption 2, left beta with a massive update that included the addition of poker, but unfortunately, not all players will be able to. Jun 01, 2019  The game tutorial for Red Dead Online Poker (RDR2 online) for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X includes a review, online, character creation and mission 2 of the online Red Dead Redemption 2 campaign online. My game tutorial, Red Dead Redemption 2 of 2019, will include the complete Game Story Campaign. Thanks to Rockstar Games.

Poker fans with an interest in video games have a new challenge to check out. The recently released Red Dead Redemption II from RockStar Games offers players a trip back to the Old West – complete with some poker action.

As players saddle up for the trip, RDR2 offers them a unique take on video games.

“With Red Dead Redemption II, RockStar Games aims to create a living world that’s not simply open, but deeper,” the trailer noted. “And more interactive and detailed than ever; combining action, storytelling, and gameplay in new ways.”

What is Red Dead Redemption II

Red Dead Redemption II is set in 1899 with cowboys and outlaws on horseback traveling across the range. Saloon fights, shootouts, gunfights, and unique locations ranging from forests to deserts are all part of the fun.

Gamers play the part of an outlaw Arthur Morgan, who is on the run and must devise more schemes to “earn” a living and stay free from a jail cell or a lawman’s bullet. In this sequel, players come to know the characters who drop in and out of its western world. Players constantly engage with this independent world around them, even being able to talk their way “out of trouble with the town sheriff,” as the trailer noted.

Players make enemies or friends, depending on their own choices. Arthur’s treatment of and choices of his horses even have consequences in his world. The law, bounty hunters and other outlaws aren’t the only enemies Arthur must worry about.

“A rich and varied ecosystem thrive in this world, full of predators, prey, and scavengers, all smart and sometimes deadly.”

The game’s graphics look impressive and Red Dead Redemption II aims to make you feel like you’ve taken a time machine back to the 1800s. The world is rich and detailed, with every possible angle and scenario that could be dreamed up for the Old West in the late-1800s – and that includes poker and gambling. While the outlaws and outcasts are in camp plotting their next move, players have the chance to play some Texas Hold’em against their fellow outlaws.

The poker scenes make for a real throwback to Old West gambling. Grizzled outlaws in cowboy hats sit at a rugged wooden table playing for pots that may reach a few dollars at first but soon enough reach triple digits.

The gambling is a carryover from the original game, which also featured Texas Hold’em and blackjack. The first version even allowed players to go online and play poker with up to eight players. Those winnings allow for purchases within the game world. The company even released an expansion pack called “Liars and Cheats” that, along with adding more features, greatly expanded the game’s gambling options.

“One of the most fan-requested features comes to Red Dead Redemption multiplayer,” the RockStar website notes. “Anywhere from two to six players can compete in a variety of different locations, and all players begin with a $200 daily gambling allowance. Once you run out, you will have to wait until the next day before your funds are replenished.

“Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age,”
RockStarGames.com notes. The game will be released Oct. 26 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems. A version for the PC hasn't been announced yet.

How to Win at Poker in Red Dead Redemption II

Like in any poker game, you can win by being the better player, or by cheating. One is more honorable, but in a video game against the AI, a little cheating doesn't hurt anyone, right?

Win the Honest Way: Red Dead Redemption II Poker Strategy

The game is just out and we're looking into all the details of the poker game as we speak.

The first hand you'll play will most likely be one with . Winning this hand is easy, you'll make two pair on a board of and can just bet and raise as much as you feel like. But try not to scare your opponent into folding, so distribute your bets throughout the poker hand. One opponent has while the other has meaning you sucked out on the latter.

After that hand, the cards are randomized so it's very well possible you get a set over set situation like we did. While the cards are random, poker remains a game of skill so you have direct influence on the outcome of the game.

After playing the initial game close to the city of Valentine, you'll unlock a poker game set back in camp at Horseshoe Overlook in Chapter 2 of the game. Anytime you're back at camp, you might find opponents to play against. Later in the game, you'll play for much higher stakes than you start out with.

Since the game follows traditional Texas Hold'em poker rules, we have an extensive library of poker tips available right now:

1. Learn the poker rules by visiting the Poker Rules page we have available.
2. Download the Hand Rankings^(PDF) and print them out so you know what the combinations in the game are worth.
3. Look up the poker terms and jargon you don't know, all readily available on our Poker Terms page. That way you know what 'betting,' 'raising,' and 'calling' actually mean.
4. Once you have the basics down, visit the poker strategy section and learn all the advanced poker theories out there.

Win the Not So Honest Way: How to Cheat in Red Dead Redemption II

Right now, we're looking into the options to cheat in the game. Right now, we haven't learned of any way to cheat at the game. It might be part of a DLC as it was with the original Red Dead Redemption, or be learned at a later stage in the game.

It's very likely there's a built-in option to cheat, as there was one in place in the original Red Dead Redemption. In that game, after getting your hands on the Elegant Suit, you had the option to hide a card at the bottom of the deck and use it whenever you wanted. That proved to be a valuable advantage, as tricking the NPC's into calling with an inferior hand, wasn't too hard.

Poker and Gambling in Video Games

Red Dead Redemption II isn’t the only game to feature some poker action through the years. Here’s a look at a few other games where players can make some bluffs and bets:

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

RockStar games brought gambling to GTA even before Red Dead Redemption. A casino is part of the action in this one with players heading to a casino for blackjack, video poker, roulette, wheel of fortune, and slot machines. There is even an option to borrow from the casino, but not paying the cash back can have some rough consequences.

The Sims 3

This sequel allows for casino wagering via The Lucky Simoleon Casino, which is available for download purchase. A blackjack table and slot machines are available along with a poker and roulette table.

The game isn't too deep - it's The Sims we're talking about after all - but it does give the player a good first impression of gambling. No texas hold'em poker, it's mostly slot machines that fill this add on.

Far Cry 3

Set in in the tropics where players battle pirates, this game has some pretty heavy offerings according to Haogamers.com. The site notes: “The gameplay takes place in secret back rooms with random opponents and follows the straight-forward Texas Hold’em rules. Each opponent plays a little differently, and knocking them out will eventually gain you a poker bonus award. Besides the optional mini games, there’s an entire mission centered around a rather tense poker match when you get to part 35 of the story.” If you’re into video games and poker, this one might be worth a purchase.

Watch Dogs

Poker is one of the features in this third-person game. And if you can’t beat the competition, a little cheating can be employed. “By hacking surveillance cameras pointed toward the poker table, you’ll be able to see most if not all of your opponents’ hands,” Haogamers.com notes. “Using this information together with the ability to sense your opponent’s stress level (measured on a scale from 0–100) you should find it pretty easy to win at the game.”

World Series of Poker: Play the Pros

This game was released by Activision in 2005 during the height of the poker boom. The game was available for GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC also brought two sequels.

The game had a variety of games beyond Texas Hold’em including Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, and even Razz. Players could create their own characters and square off against some of the game’s best. The Tournament of Champions sequel even allowed players to battle it out against pros like Chris Ferguson, Scotty Nguyen, and Joe Hachem.

  World Series of Poker

Red Dead Online hasn’t set the world on fire in the same way that Grand Theft Auto Online has done over the past five years. But Rockstar Games is announcing a major overhaul for Red Dead Online with the addition of various features aimed at enticing people to play.

Take-Two Interactive said yesterday that its Rockstar Games label had sold more than 24 million copies of Red Dead Redemption 2, the single-player Western epic and the foundation for Red Dead Online. But that’s only 1 million more since its last reporting period in February.

Today’s update to Red Dead Online brings a host of new gameplay, such as new cooperative story missions, free roam activities and the addition of poker alongside a range of updates and improvements that strengthen and stabilize the foundation of Red Dead Online, Rockstar said.

This is just the beginning of major updates, Rockstar said.

“The future of Red Dead Online not only includes continued improvements to the core elements of the world to make every aspect of the game fun for all kinds of players, but also brand-new experiences that establish a deeper, more immersive connection to the world and your character,” Rockstar said.

New missions

Above: “I’m the best selling game of the year, y’know.”

The revenge saga of Red Dead Online character Jessica LeClerk expands today with new missions in “A Land of Opportunities” for both “honorable” and “dishonorable” players. (Players are rated based on their behavior toward innocent people in the online game).

After the epic showdown in Fort Mercer that concluded the last series of missions, players will help Mrs. LeClerk get closer to the truth behind the murder of her husband. In the more honorable gunslinger path, you can battle the Del Lobos gang and help Marshall Tom Davies save the town of Valentine – and his own neck.

In the Outlaw strand, you have to outwit lawmen to assist Samson Finch in highway robbery and pull off a daring high-stakes theft at the Saint Denis Bank. Both paths lead to a rendezvous in Blackwater with a dangerous adversary.

Free Roam Missions also expand today with new characters from the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a variety of new and diverse mission types. Bring your Posse to meet with Thomas the Skiff Captain down in Bayou Nwa for some honest work or visit the disconcertingly hospitable Aberdeen Pig Farmers to get your hands extremely dirty, and look out for more characters to appear soon.

Competitive fishing and poker

Above: Poker has come to Red Dead Online

Competitive fishing is now available in one of three new Posse Versus Challenges. Posse leaders can simply use the Player Menu to trigger intra-Posse competitions to reel in the biggest catch before the timer runs out in the Biggest Fish Contest, down the most flying birds in the Bird Shooting Contest, or gather the most plants in the Herb Picking Contest.

As you make your way across the frontier, you may happen across townsfolk and travelers in need of assistance, or opportunists looking to prey on lone riders. Many of these encounters offer XP, Honor, Cash and even Gold rewards.

You can visit poker tables at towns and outposts across the map to challenge your friends to a private, invite-only game of Hold ’Em. Or, raise the stakes and take a seat at a public table, where the buy-ins and rewards are even higher. All poker tables seat up to 6 players, available in 5 locations: Blackwater, Saint Denis, Tumbleweed, Valentine and Flatneck Station.

And you can mark your territory and lay claim to as much land as you can, working your way behind enemy lines to capture territory from your opponents while defending what’s yours. Whoever holds the most land at the end of this new Showdown Mode wins.

New guns and clothing

Boasting a 9-round revolving chamber and a secondary barrel for a single buckshot round, the LeMat Revolver can switch between rapid-fire bullets and a devastating shotgun shell on the fly. It is now available for purchase inside the game from the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue.

More clothing items and emotes are also available, featuring some highly-requested clothing options including Ponchos, patterned Bandanas and more – as well as new emotes such as Throat Slit and Flip Off. New inventory will be coming and going often so check the Catalogue frequently to see what’s in stock week-to-week.

In addition, all players who jump into Red Dead Online this week will get a gift of 15 Gold Bars and see a 25% increase of XP on A Land of Opportunities, Free Roam Missions, Showdown Modes, Races and Free Roam Events. Treasure hunters will also find 25% extra Cash and Gold in chests containing them. All Ultimate Edition owners will also get a gift of RDO$100 and the Throat Slit emote for free.

Offensive or defensive

Above: Red Dead Online is getting an overhaul.

As outlined in an earlier post previewing some of today’s additions, this update brings the option to choose how you interact with players inside the world of Red Dead Online, via Offensive and Defensive playing styles in the Player Menu.

The Offensive playing style is set as the default and is how most players traditionally interact in Free Roam — free to engage in hostile contact with other players if you are prepared to accept the potential consequences.

The Defensive play style is for those players who would rather explore the world in Free Roam than engage in conflict with others — and it’s designed to let other players know that you don’t want to tangle with them, as well as minimize opportunities for griefing. At the same time, Defensive players will not be alerted to PvP Free Roam missions and can not be pulled into them while in Defensive mode, allowing them to go about their business as freely as possible.

Players in Defensive mode will be indicated by a shield icon, will take reduced damage from enemy players, cannot be lassoed, melee attacked, executed or targeted with auto-aim. Defensive players will also be excluded from being targeted in PvP-related missions such as Player Assassination. Those who attack Defensive players receive hefty penalties via the Hostility system, while players who initiate conflict while in Defensive mode will be instantly pulled out of Defensive mode and also receive similar Hostility penalties.

Fighting griefing

Above: Gun Rush.

Today’s updates also build on the player radar and visibility improvements introduced in February to create a smarter and more responsive approach to mitigating griefing behavior. The Hostility System tracks aggressive behavior across both Playing Styles, making hostile players visible to others and helping to balance the needs of players who want to get away from others who habitually attack or kill during unstructured Free Roam gameplay.

As before, player blips change color – beginning dark blue and transitioning to red as their hostile play persists. A bright red blip indicates an enemy. With today’s update, players will never receive Hostility or Bounty increases for defending themselves against a player who is blipped as an enemy, or for killing high Hostility players. If a player attacks another player, they will not be marked as an enemy to everyone – but rather to the attacked player only, who will not receive a penalty for firing back.

You can view your current Hostility level through the Player Menu. As you become more hostile, you become more visible on other player’s radars at longer distances and will respawn further and further away from your point of death – at the highest level of Hostility, you will respawn in a different region.

Hostility increases do not apply within structured events such as Free Roam Events, Free Roam Missions, Showdowns and Races. Engaging in PvP behaviors related to Free Roam missions will not incur Hostility increases while in the Offensive playing style, however attacking other players not engaged in the activity will cause your Hostility level to rise.

To see a comprehensive list of fixes as part of today’s update including a new HDR cinematic mode for both Story Mode and Red Dead Online, visit the dedicated Rockstar Support page.

New roles

Is There Poker In Red Dead Redemption 2 Online

With the foundation of Red Dead Online now established, future updates will offer new ways to fully inhabit your character as you progress in multiple roles and carve out your own place on the frontier.

Starting this summer, players will be able to take on the first three of a series of new roles: track down wanted criminals as a bounty hunter; search the world for treasure, and other exotic items to sell as a collector; or build a business at camp as a trader and more.

Each new role will come with a range of unique gameplay along with a host of new outfits, weapons and other rewards to earn. Players will have the option to focus on a specific role to advance quickly and unlock each role’s unique attributes, or simultaneously progress across multiple roles as you play naturally to create your own unique character and path through the frontier.
