The Diamond Casino & Resort Update for GTA Online: Your Ultimate Guide
The Diamond Casino & Resort update for GTA Online is one of the most significant and content-rich additions to the game yet. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to make the most of your time at the Diamond. We’ll cover how to gain access to the casino, the co-op and casino work missions, all the ways you can gamble and win big, the customizable penthouse that can become your new home, hidden collectibles to discover, and the sleek new vehicles that can be yours.
Gaining Access To The Diamond Casino
To access the new content at the Diamond Casino, players must make an initial investment. Unlike previous DLCs, where purchasing properties like offices or bunkers was required, the Diamond Casino operates differently. Players must buy memberships to gain access to the gambling opportunities available.
Membership Types
-
Standard Diamond Membership: This option is relatively inexpensive but comes with limited perks. It allows access to the casino portion of the Diamond, but not all gambling activities. You can store one car in the Diamond’s garage.
- VIP Membership: This is the premium option, granting access to the Resort, high-limit tables, and more. With this membership, you receive a customizable penthouse, where you can add features like a personal spa, party area, and exquisite artworks. The VIP membership is essential for participating in the Diamond Casino Missions, which are a major highlight of the update.
Casino Missions
Once you have a VIP membership, you can engage in two types of missions: Co-op Missions and Casino Work Missions.
Co-op Missions
These missions follow a storyline involving a hostile Texan oil magnate trying to encroach upon Tao Cheng’s business. There are six co-op missions, each offering extra rewards upon first completion. The missions are:
- Loose Cheng
- Housekeeping
- Strongarm Tactics
- Play To Win
- Bad Beat
- Cashing Out
Completing all six missions in order grants you an exclusive vehicle, the Enus Armored Paragon, and a bonus payout of GTA$ 500,000 if completed in order the first time.
Casino Work Missions
These missions can be accessed by calling Agatha Baker and can be completed solo. While they lack the overarching storyline of co-op missions, they are quicker and easier to complete. Rewards typically include chips and GTA$, with various mission types available.
Services
As a member of the Diamond, you can call Agatha Baker for several free services, provided you don’t have a wanted level.
Car Service
Request a vehicle to be spawned, with options including the Cognoscenti Cabrio and the Feltzer. The spawned car cannot be stored or insured, and it’s accessible to other players.
Limousine Service
This service spawns a limo that automatically drives you to the Diamond. It’s a perfect getaway vehicle, as the driver won’t be intimidated by attacks.
Casino Work
You can request additional missions from Agatha Baker, which can be completed alone and offer rewards of chips and GTA$.
Gambling
The Diamond Casino offers a variety of gambling options, including Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Roulette, Slots, the Lucky Wheel, and Inside Track. Players can win chips, GTA$, and items, but should gamble responsibly.
Gambling Mini-Games
-
Blackjack: Played with four decks, the dealer shuffles after each hand. Basic strategies can help improve your odds.
-
Three Card Poker: A simpler game where you need to get a strong hand to win. Avoid making pair plus bets to maximize profits.
-
Roulette: A game of chance where personal superstitions often dictate bets.
-
Slots and Inside Track: Pure luck games with no strategy involved.
- Lucky Wheel: Spin the wheel daily for a chance to win chips, vehicles, and other prizes.
Casino Store
The casino store is a new location within the Diamond where players can purchase exclusive clothing items and decor for their penthouse using chips. The total cost for all available artwork is over 3.9 million chips, making it essential to win big at the tables.
Penthouse
Purchasing a VIP membership grants you access to a personal penthouse at the top of the Diamond. This space can be extensively customized, allowing you to choose decor and add modules like a spa or party area. The total cost for a fully upgraded penthouse can reach over 6.5 million GTA$.
Penthouse Variants
- Cash Pad: Basic penthouse with no modules.
- Party Penthouse: Comes with a lounge, party hub, and spa.
- High Roller: Includes all modules but is locked to expensive options.
- Design Your Own: Allows for individual module purchases.
Playing Cards
A new collectible feature in the Diamond Casino update includes 54 vintage playing cards scattered across the map. Finding these cards rewards players with RP and chips, with a total of 66,650 chips available for collection. Completing the set unlocks an exclusive High Roller Outfit.
New Vehicles and Prices
The Diamond Casino & Resort DLC introduced six new vehicles available from various in-game dealerships. Here are some of the highlights:
- Annis S80RR: GTA$ 2.6 million
- Enus Paragon R: GTA$ 905,000
- Truffade Thrax: GTA$ 2.3 million
- Progen Emerus: GTA$ 2.75 million
These vehicles add a new layer of excitement to the game, allowing players to showcase their wealth and style.
