GTA Online has seen phenomenal success since it launched with GTA 5 in 2013, and Rockstar has diligently added content at regular intervals. One of the biggest add-ons came in July 2019, when Rockstar opened access to the massive Diamond Casino and Resort.
The Diamond Casino opens up a lot of possibilities for GTA Online players, but considering it is a casino, players need plenty of cash to engage with a lot of the services and features. There's a ton of content to occupy player's time, including unique missions.
For anyone wondering about the Diamond Casino and Resort, we've collected everything you can do in the update, from basic gambling to an exciting heist.
How to Get to Diamond Casino in GTA Online
The Diamond Casino isn't an area players can instantly travel to, unfortunately, as they'll first need to acquire a membership. Players can buy a basic membership to the Diamond Casino for $500 in-game. This gives access to the basic gambling games and the ability to store one care in the casino's garage. To get full access, however, players need a VIP Membership. VIP Memberships are instantly included when a player buys a penthouse in the Diamond, with the cheapest penthouse costing $1,500,000.
Casino Missions in GTA Online
Once players have a VIP Membership they'll gain access to two kinds of missions, Work Missions and Co-op Missions. Work missions are the simpler of the two and are basic missions that players can take on by talking to Agatha Baker. Co-op missions, on the other hand, have an overarching storyline and give greater rewards. These missions are given by Tao Cheng, the owner of the Diamond, and have to be played in co-op, with no single-player options.
Diamond Casino Heist
GTA Online also sports a heist that revolves around the Diamond Casino. Players don't actually need to own a penthouse to do the Diamond Casino Heist, but they will need to purchase one of the various arcade properties. There are six arcade properties in total that range from $1.5 million to $3.5 million, but they only need to own one and not all six. Once an arcade is purchased and fully stocked with video games, players will be able to start planning to break into the Diamond Casino's highly secure vault.
Gambling in GTA Online
One of the main draws of the Diamond Casino is the wide array of gambling games that players can indulge in. By exchanging money for chips players can play Roulette, Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Slots, and Inside Track. There's also a daily free-to-spin activity with the Lucky Wheel, which can give a variety of prizes like GTA$, clothing, discounts, and more.
It should be noted that gambling isn't available in certain countries in GTA Online. Due to gambling laws, multiple countries have blocked the casino games, including China, Greece, South Korea, and many more.
GTA 5 Online Unlimited Spin The Wheel Glitch
While the Lucky Wheel is a daily activity, there is a glitch that allows players to spin the wheel multiple times and get whatever prize they want. It's not something players will want to do every day, of course, but multiple YouTubers, like MrBossFTW, have detailed how to do it. It's different for every system but here's the gist.
Xbox - Spin the wheel and if a different prize is wanted quickly press the home button, find GTA 5, then press the menu button and exit out of the game.
PS4 - Spin the wheel and open the home menu. Wait for the prize and if it isn't good enough select close application.
PC - Spin the wheel and if a different prize is wanted just hit the shortcut to close out of the game.
Doing this on each system should allow players to boot the game back up and spin the Lucky Wheel without having to wait 24 hours.
Casino Store in GTA Online
The Casino store lets players exchange chips for a variety of different items. There players can purchase new clothing options, decorations and expansions for their penthouse, and more. Keep in mind that the store does require chips, so players will need to exchange their GTA$ instead of purchasing things outright. The big purchases will be different modules that players can add on to their penthouses. Here's some of what's available.
- Private Dealer - $1,100,000
- Garage - $800,000
- Bar and Party Hub - $700,00
- Spa - $600,000
- Media Room - $500,000
- Lounge Area - $400,00
- Office - $200,000
- Extra Bedroom - 200,000
Playing Card Collectibles
The Diamond Casino update also adds a brand new collectible to the world of GTA Online. There are 54 vintage cards scattered around the world that players can collect that reward RP as well as casino chips.
GTA 5 and GTA Online are currently available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
