Players will start fresh, setting up a new business as a front to plan the heist. A retro arcade acts as the front, and it is also where the criminals rehearse their roles for the daring heist.
As the business operates arcade games, players go underground, practicing keypad hacking and opening vault doors. The space stores getaway vehicles and other equipment needed to carry out the heist.
Rockstar Games said: “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.”
Range of opportunities
Players will begin the new mission with prep missions to shape how the heist will go down. There are multiple paths for approach, allowing players to complete the heist one way and replay the mission in a completely different manger.

Security measures will constantly be changing regarding the casino. Several choices are available inside the casino to keep the heist fresh and exciting. According to Rockstar Games, outcomes for the player and heist crew can change on the fly. As players deal with a new situation, it leads to more choices during the mission.
Even the best laid out plans can go awry, with players given the opportunity to keep the mission afloat without fail by shooting their way out with remaining team lives.
Players anxiously waiting
Since the teaser trailer was first released by Rockstar Games on December 4, players have been anxiously waiting for the developer to confirm the heist.
As stated on VSO News, the teaser showed a promo for the Diamond Casino in the game, hacked midway through. Images in the trailer seemingly showed heist plans along with video footage from inside the casino.
When the casino launched, it did so amid controversy. Concern arose that young people would be influenced by the content, creating a vulnerability to gambling problems in the future.

Patrol Routes
Go to a meeting of the Duggan security guys, eliminate them and search for the right car. Once found, open the trunk, take a photo of the documents and send them to Lester.
Duggan Shipments
Like a freeroam job. You have to destroy 10 shipments of these shipments, spread all over the map. Best use a helicopter for that.
Security Intel
Help poor Vincent, who is now a mall security guy. The Intel will be done in every heist when completed once.
Power Drills
Go to a construction site that is marked and collect either a vehicle with the drills or the drills alone. One person can carry two drills. A disguise is sometimes available.
Security Pass
- Level 1: Acquired from a cleaning woman.
- Level 2: Acquired from a croupier.
We had to crash a drug-party and find the croupier to search him for his pass.
Specific Prep - Silent & Sneaky
Nano Drone
You have to drive round the city and shoot down drones used by the LSPD. Then just collect the dropped parts.
Vault Laser
Gta V Online Casino Cars
Go out to the desert, fight some (OP) Army guys and search for the lasers. They look like this:
EMP Device
Go to LSIA and steal a cargobob. Then fly to the university, lift the EMP out (it is right on the open filed) and fly it to the substation of LS Water and Power right across the casino.
Infilitration Suits
Go out to Human Labs and kill the guards in your way (the alarm will trigger as soon as you enter) Bags are in the rear (where you have to par the Insurgent in the Human Labs Heist). Bags look like this:

Thermal Charges
Acquire Thermal Charges to blow up vault door. We had to go out to Sandy Shores and crash a Hillbilly party.
Vault Explosives
We had to go out to Paleto Bay and recover the explosive from a sunken airplane, guarded by Merryweather. Grab scuba gear and dive out to find it.

Third Board - Heist
Your personal weapon arsenal can be collected in either Laundry or Waste Disposal
Silent and Sneaky
Take out the electric stuff with your stun gun
Kill the guards right away, DO NOT STUN THEM! Guards with a helmet can't be killed right away. You can kill them with your knife.Our way through:
- We went in through waste disposal, disabling the first metal detector, in the area behint it.
- After that we opened up the guard rooms and killed the guards.
- In the elevator bay, there is a button in the middle of the security room, right by the window, that opens the door of a small vault. There is the daily income in there, that you can steal. Press the button, let one guy go in, close the door and wait until he has emptied the vault. The vault can be opened from the inside.
We waited for the elevator guard to pass and opened up the stairs access.
The Big Con
Our settings where:
- Entrance: Security Tunnel
- Entry Disguise: Gruppe Sechs
- Exit: Waste Disposal
- Exit Disguise: Firefighters
Buyer: High Level (is further away, but you get more money)
First: Get into the Gruppe Sechs van and drive to the casino, to the security tunnel. You are being let in and have to drive down the tunnel, where your credentials are being checked and you are able to park the van.
Then, go down to the vault area, proceed through the manhole. To go through, you have to swipe two keycards at the (roughly) same time (time-window is roughly 4 seconds) and then just go down the winding tunnel.
Then you have a short cutscene, one knocks out the guard who opens the door and then you have to start heisting.
