Step 1: Buy an Arcade

Click to enlarge

Before you can start The Diamond Casino Heist in GTA Online, you need to purchase one of the six possible retro arcades in the game. You must talk to Lester in Mirror Park to access the arcades.

After you talk to Lester and the six arcade locations appear on the map, you can use the Maze Bank Foreclosures store webpage on your mobile phone to purchase one of the arcade locations.

Here are all the locations and their prices. The best arcades are located in the city.

  • Pixel Pete’s
    • Price: $1,235,000
    • Location: Paleto Bay
  • Wonderama
    • Price: $1,565,000
    • Location: Grapeseed
  • Videogeddon
    • Price: $1,875,000
    • Location: La Mesa
  • Warehouse
    • Price: $2,135,000
    • Location: Davis
  • Insert Coin
    • Price: $2,345,000
    • Location: Rockford Hills
  • Eight Bit
    • Price: $2,530,000
    • Location: Vinewood

Step 2: Set Up Your Heist

Once you have your arcade location up and running, you can enter Lester's underground base, where you will gain access to three blackboards. Use these blackboards to manage your heist.

The three blackboards represent the three following stages of the heist:

  • The Set Up
  • The Prep
  • The Heist

The first blackboard is dedicated to helping you set up your heist. You will see the 'To Do' list in the upper right corner, which is a list of actions you must perform before the actual heist.

You can also choose to do the optional list of tasks, but you will have to pay for all of the intelligence associated with them, so we'll just focus on the main missions.

Scope Out Casino

This is the first task you need to complete. To make things easier, it is advisable to purchase the two extras from the setup board:

Heist
  • Casino Model
    • Price: $130,000
  • Door Security
    • Price: $425,000

These two pieces of intelligence will help you to find all of the safest entry points into the casino.

Scope Out Vault Contents

After you arrive at the casino and find the vault, you can scope it out for four types of valuables:

  • Cash
    • Price: $2,115,000
  • Artwork
    • Price: $2,350,000
  • Gold
    • Price: $2,585,000
  • Diamonds
    • Price: $3,290,000

You can only choose one of the four options, and they are random. The best loot you can get from the vault is diamonds, which cost over $3 million. The least profitable is cash. So if you happen to get the case with diamonds, then select it and mark it on your blackboard.

Select Approach

The final part of the setup is selecting one of the three available approaches:

  • Silent and Sneaky
  • The Big Con
  • Aggressive

All three approaches offer different types of gameplay. Silent and Sneaky is obviously a stealth plan; The Big Con uses tricks and disguises; and Aggressive offers a full-on guns blazing robbery.

It doesn't matter which approach you choose, as they all lead to the same results. Choose the style that fits your personal taste the most.

Step 3: Prep Your Heist

Extras

This stage of the heist requires the most time and money. This stage is where you hire your crew of NPCs, select disguises, vehicles, and other necessary items from the 'To Do' list.

Support Crew

Soboba Casino Heist

In this first section, you can choose three possible crewmen for the heist:

  • Gunman
  • Driver
  • Hacker

All three categories offer different skills, but these also come with varying prices. Whenever you choose a crewman, it will show you their cut in percentages. Obviously, the higher the skill, the higher the cut.

In this case, it is strongly recommended that you take all three Expert level crewmen, where each will take 9% of your heist earnings. It's a lot of money to give away, but you will have the highest quality weapons and vehicles during the heist.

The To-Do List

After you have chosen your team, you can start the six main prep missions. In each of these missions, you need to select which item types you wish to steal.

Below you will find the best choices for the prep missions:

  • Rifle Loadout
    • Unmarked Weapons
  • Sultan Classic
    • Getaway Vehicles
  • Gruppe Sechs
    • Entry Disguise
  • Noose Gear
    • Exit Disguise

During the Getaway Vehicles mission, you will also have the choice to upgrade your vehicles. You can buy bulletproof tires for $25,000, which will make the getaway section easier.

Step 4: Start the Diamond Casino Heist

You will be offered a chance to choose your buyer and get some extra help on the third blackboard.

Choose Buyer

Buyers have three levels: low, middle, and high. Always go for the high-level buyer. They will offer the most amount of money. The heist will be more difficult, but if you've done your prep correctly, and spent cash on the right things, then you should be fine.

Also buy a Clean Vehicle and Gunman Decoy for $50,000 if you can.

Starting the Mission

If you've selected the Gruppe Sechs entrance disguise and The Big Con approach, then you will start the heist mission in an armored truck, which is the best for this mission.

Here's how to get through the entire heist easily:

  1. Enter the underground garage of the casino
  2. Take the elevator to the vault
  3. Run past all the guards without killing them
  4. Use the vault keycard
  5. Let the casino worker open the vault for you
  6. Get the loot
  7. Exit the vault floor through the staircase
  8. Change the disguise in the locker room (Noose)
  9. Exit the casino through the staff door

When you're outside the casino, you can safely deliver the vault contents to your buyer.

Finish the Mission

The only problem you might run into during this final stage of the heist is the chasing helicopter. Steal any car you see and use it to deliver the loot (if you didn't purchase the Clean Vehicle option ahead of time).

If cops start chasing you, use the underground sewer system to get away from them and stay undetected. Follow the marker on the map to your buyer's location.

Casino Heist Extra Scope Out

When you've reached the buyer location, the mission ends with a cutscene, and you get your money reward.

Approach selection

After discovering the contents of the vault, you will be able to choose one of three approaches to the heist: Silent & Sneaky, The Big Con, or Aggressive.

The Silent & Sneaky approach will allow you to enter the casino and get rid of the guards with complete discretion, as long as you stay on and don't make yourself heard by the other guards.
The Big Con approach will use disguises that allow you to break into the Casino, but not all guards will be fooled.
The Aggressive approach will be the most violent, equipped with heavy weapons you will kill the guards without states of heart to arrive at the vault.

The approaches have three possible statuses:

  • Without post-it: Heist is available on normal difficulty
  • Post-it padlock: The heist is unavailable because you have just completed this approach
  • Skull Post-it: The heist is available in hard (possible after completing the heist approach, then another approach to remove the Skull Post-it), this approach provides higher gains due to its difficulty.
Tips !

Once the three approaches are completed, you will be able to unlock the ability to phone Lester and cancel the heist to change the contents of the vault, you will lose the $ 25,000 in initial costs by canceling the heist.

Tips and tricks

  • Enter through the arcade room garage to get to the heist preparation room more quickly.
  • If you don't like the content of the vault and if you have completed all the 3 approaches, you can call Lester and cancel the heist to change the content of the vault. You will lose the $25,000 initial fees by canceling the heist.
  • It is possible to tune the getaway vehicles once the recovery mission is completed. Enter the vehicle in the basement of the arcade room to tune it.
  • During the heist you can also grab some extra cash from the secret vault, which is on the ground floor right next to the elevator. The switch to open up the secret vault door is in the CCTV room next to the elevator. You can expect somewhere between $20,000 to $100,000 to be in there.
    You can grab this vault content twice during the Silent & Sneaky approach, once on your way to the main vault and once on your way back up to the exit.
