The Diamond Casino Heist

The Diamond Casino Heist is a heist introduced to Grand Theft Auto Online in The Diamond Casino Heist update.

Decription
"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."

This Heist can only be played while being in a CEO or VIP Organization or being in a Motorcycle Club and the CEO/VIP/MC President must own an Arcade in order to start The Casino Heist.

Similar to The Doomsday Heist, the Casino Heist can be completed with a minimum of two players, allowing a larger payout during the heist if played with fewer players. Each Crew Member has a 15% Cut minimum of the Heist's earnings during the Finale.

Following the idea of the Doomsday Heist, Prep Jobs are featured in every approach of the Casino Heist: These are required in order to progress to the Setup missions. Prep Jobs are completed seamlessly in public Freemode sessions and players have the option to do the mission, steal the equipment from rival CEO/VIP Organizations and Motorcycle Clubs, or buy the equipment; however, these missions can be completed by the CEO/VIP/MC President themselves without any other member in the Organization/MC, though it is not recommended, as there could be PvP action.

Unlike previous heists, there are preparations and setups to complete the minimum requirements. Other missions are optional, although completing these will alter the outcome of the progression before the heist, usually on favorable results.

Similar to Grand Theft Auto V heists, support crew members take part during the preparations; some familiar faces and other new members that can help to the crew with the approaches, with a range of equipment that affects the progression of the heist.

Setup
In order to start the heist planning, the player has to first complete the setup missions from the Arcade property. Once both setups are done, the Arcade is operational and the player can progress towards the Casino Heist.

Preparations
Preparations are Freemode jobs that can be completed at any time. These tasks contribute to preparing the equipment for the specific approach, ranging from standard equipments to getaway vehicles.

Support crew members have different choices and percentage cuts they receive at the end of the heist, so players have to select what suits better. Higher cuts usually means better effectiveness.

Casino Heist
The Casino Heist can be completed in three different approaches, all with different equipments and methods. The host can make different choices to change the outcome of the approach and the getaway, as well as the payment by selecting the buyer (high level buyers can be far away, but the payout is bigger).
