Earlier this year, Grand Theft Auto Online received a pretty big update for fans to dig into. The update in question, called The Diamond Casino & Resort, allowed players to access an in-game casino, purchasable penthouse, and many more fun activities to explore. Now, GTA Online recently received a brand new heist update that’s giving players the opportunity tot rob the Diamond Casino blind.

This new heist, called The Diamond Casino Heist, is being touted by Rockstar as the heist to end all heists, and it makes sense. Robbing a casino would hypothetically be pretty lucrative. However, before any robbing can be done, players will need to purchase a front to steer suspicion away from any misdeeds that are about to happen. In this case, that front is an arcade.

Purchasing the Arcade

So, first things first, players are going to need to purchase the arcade before they can plan any heists for the Diamond Casino. The arcade will be player’s base of operations, where they’ll be able to plan out their heists, prepare themselves, and add crew members. These crew members can be invaluable, especially Avi, who requires a pretty difficult mission to recruit.

That specific mission is going to take players all over the map, meaning players will probably need a pretty fast ride to get everywhere. Anyway, to purchase the arcade players are going to need to speak to Lester in Mirror Park. It’s important to note that players who are also Twitch Prime members can get free access to the arcade front. Unfortunately, players who aren’t will have to cough up the cash. To find a purchasable arcade, players need to look up Maze Bank Foreclosures in their EyeFind and filter to Arcades.

The Available Arcades

There a six different arcades available to purchase for this heist ranging from $1.2 to $2.5 million. The rate that players purchase their arcade is only for the original layout, meaning that if players want to update their arcades they’ll have to sink more cash into it. The purchasable arcades from cheapest to most expensive are:

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

After players have seen every purchasable arcade up for grabs, simply buy the arcade of choice and head over to it. Once players head over to their new arcade, a cutscene will play out. The only thing left for players to do is to actually build up their arcade to get an legitimate business going. After the arcade’s been upgraded a bit, players can head over to the whiteboard to begin planning heist missions.

Heist missions are some of the most enjoyable activities that GTA Online has to offer. Despite GTA V releases all the way back in 2013, the online landscape of the game is still booming. However, Rockstar may have just teased GTA 6’s setting in a recent trailer. Regardless, the Diamond Casino Heist update is sure to keep players busy for quite some time.
