GTA Online: The Diamond Casino Heist

The Diamond Casino Heist is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online, released on December 12th, 2019.

Description
"Something’s up at The Diamond Casino & Resort. Patrons have reported seeing unusual security patrols on the casino floor. Penthouse owners are receiving cryptic text messages from the Cheng Family Holdings. Insiders have spotted unfamiliar blueprints on Agatha Baker’s desk, and visitors to their website are certain the intrusions there can only mean one thing: there’s a crew getting ready to take the whole thing down."

- Rockstar Newswire.

The Diamond Casino Heist
"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."

- Rockstar Newswire

Properties
"In order to plan the biggest Heist ever perpetrated in Los Santos, Heist crew leaders will setup an unexpected new commercial venture as a front, a retro Arcade business property shrouding the nerve center within where Heist operations are staged and rehearsed. While the business runs above, down below you can practice hacking keypads or cracking vault doors, store equipment and getaway vehicles, and owners of existing businesses can add a Master Control Terminal to handle all current operations."

- Rockstar Newswire

Arcade properties were added to Grand Theft Auto Online.

Players can purchase an Arcade property from Maze Bank Foreclosures website from a selection of six locations, each one with a specific name:

Visit Lester in Mirror Park to discuss a "business opportunity" in order to make the arcades available to purchase. Pixel Pete's is free to players who have linked their Twitch Prime account.
 * Warehouse - Davis
 * Videogeddon - La Mesa
 * Eight-Bit - Vinewood
 * Insert Coin - Rockford Hills
 * Wonderama - Grapeseed
 * Pixel Pete's - Paleto Bay

The Arcade property allows for set-up and operation of Arcade Businesses, similar to other properties. Alternatively, owners can access to the Master Control Terminal, which can manage all the other businesses they have (Special Cargo, Vehicle Cargo, Motorcycle Clubs businesses, Supplies, Air Freight Cargo and Nightclubs businesses.).
