One Armed Bandits is a Casino Work mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Diamond Casino & Resort update. It is a freeroam mission given to the player by Agatha Baker.
Description[]
Agatha Baker informs the protagonist of a new shipment of slot machines for the casino at Terminal. She says there is some suspicious activity nearby and if they could go there and deliver the shipment themselves.
On arriving at Terminal, ten smaller shipping containers will show up on the map as blue container icons, in semi-random locations. Only one of these containers is carrying the slot machines and it must be found, its code texted to the player by Agatha. The code itself is not always the same, but it is always two letters and two numbers. The area is being patrolled by numerous Madrazo Cartel enemies on foot, a few standing on high stacked containers with sniper rifles and long cones of visibility, and in two Caracaras; the vehicles cannot be used by the player. The player can choose to complete this portion of the mission stealthily from the air, as long as they keep out of the cones of the snipers.
Once the player can see a container's code, its icon will disappear from the map if it is an incorrect one. When the casino's shipment is found, its map icon will turn green and the player is instructed to take a photo of the code printed on it and send it to Agatha for confirmation, of whom the game will auto scroll down their phone's contact list for selection. She will call the protagonist back to inform them that the delivery helicopter was apparently sabotaged ahead of time by the cartel, but they should have one of their own nearby in preparation for taking the container themselves.
The Skylift is marked at the southwest part of Terminal and is guarded by four enemies - if enemies have not been alerted to this point. Confronting them however will aggro at least most of the cartel members nearest to the player. A player confident in their flying skills may wish to try to collect the container while under fire and quickly fly away, while others may find killing the attackers to be more prudent.
Once the player steals the helicopter, they must collect the container by descending down onto it until the Skylift's electromagnet can pick it up and deliver it to the roadside parking area on Vinewood Park Drive in front of the Vinewood Racetrack. All that is needed is to release the shipping container from the magnet, once prompted within a certain minimum height above the delivery corona to end the mission.

Trivia[]
- A "one-armed bandit" is a slot machine operated by pulling a lever. It may also be a reference to Phil Cassidy, a character in the 3D Universe who was nicknamed the "One Armed Bandit" after losing his left arm in an explosion.
