The Diamond Casino Heist

The Diamond Casino Heist is a Heist in GTA Online, given by Georgina Cheng and Lester Crest and associated to the Retro Arcades property.

This job has been added to the game as part of the 1.49 Diamond Casino Heist update on December 12, 2019, and is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

This is a Co-Op mode that can be played by 2 to 4 Players.

The Diamond Casino Heist is an all-new approach to Heist architecture and execution: one huge gameplay-packed operation as you work with the Cheng family to infiltrate the most secure building in all of Los Santos. Featuring a diverse range of opportunities for set-up and prep missions that shape your plan of attack, multiple paths of approach, constantly changing security measures and a dizzying array of choices once inside. Expect outcomes for you and your crew to change on the fly as you deal with each new situation, leading to more choices mid-mission. Even if the best laid plans go sideways, you’ll have the opportunity to keep the mission afloat without failing by shooting your way out with your remaining team lives, all allowing the Heist to be highly replayable with new scenarios unfolding each time.

The Diamond Casino Heist: Index

Freemode Preparation Missions

After acquiring an Arcade and completing its setup mission, the player can begin setting up The Diamond Casino Heist.

The first step in The Diamond Casino Heist requires the player to complete a series of Freemode Preparation and Setup Missions.

Unlike previous heists, all setup and prep missions for the heist are done in Freemode, with mandatory and optional ones that can be completed to make the heist easier.

After completing the "Vault Contents" prep mission, the player has the option of choosing one of the three possible approaches for the heist:

The same approach cannot be chosen twice in a row, so the player must alternate between them.

The Freemode Preparation and Setup Missions are needed to prepare the equipment for the specific approach, ranging from standard equipment to getaway vehicles.

Crew Members Selection

On the second board, the player can find all the prep work missions they can start for the heist. There, they can also hire a gunman, a driver, and a hacker. The higher their skill, the higher the cut of the total money they take.
