Today’s (23 July) Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Season 4 update sees the return of the casino, a popular location in Test Drive Unlimited 2. Up to 32 players can enter the new casino hub and spend in-game currency on a slot machine for a chance to win chip coins or a grand prize: the Mercedes-AMG Black Series.
Unfortunately, there is a catch. Depending on where you live, you may not be able to access the casino because of gambling laws.
According to the Season 4 patch notes (listed below), the casino is unavailable in over 60 countries, including China, Australia, India, Brazil, Poland and Portugal. KT Racing says this is “due to restrictions on ratings and gambling.”
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown casino restricted countries
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown’s casino is currently restricted in the following countries:
Unfortunately, this also means players in restricted countries can’t access the Mercedes-AMG Black Series Black jackpot prize car. Until KT Racing offers an alternative solution, winning the slot machine jackpot at the casino is currently the only way to unlock this car.
Players can also win 77,777 casino chips as a secondary jackpot. A mid-season update will enable players to exchange casino chips for Solar Coins, as well as introduce a second slot machine and a poker multiplayer game.
