If you have been eyeing the high-roller lifestyle in Los Santos but your Maze Bank account looks more like Trevor's than Michael's, this week is your bailout. The latest update for Grand Theft Auto V's online mode centers entirely on The Diamond Casino & Resort, offering players a rare chance to grab luxury property for free while doubling down on heist payouts.
The House Doesn't Always Win
The headline for this week is the free Casino Master Penthouse. Usually a multi-million dollar investment, this property is currently claimable at no cost. This isn't just a fancy spawn point with a great view of the Vinewood sign; owning the Penthouse is the key to accessing the VIP area and High Limit tables.
More importantly, the Penthouse unlocks the Casino Story Missions featuring Agatha Baker. These narrative missions, along with Casino Work assignments, are paying out 2X GTA$ and RP. If you haven't played through the story arc involving the Cheng family and the Duggan takeover, now is the time to clear that content with double financial incentives.
Heist Grinders Eat Well
For the veteran players focused on the grind, the spotlight is on The Diamond Casino Heist. Completing the Finale this week awards 2X Rewards. This heist remains one of the most replayable activities in the game due to the different approach methods—Silent & Sneaky, The Big Con, or Aggressive.
To launch this heist, you need a front for your operations. If you don't own one yet, Pixel Pete's and other Arcades are 30% off. The Arcade also serves as a passive income generator and houses the Master Control Terminal, making it a critical purchase for managing a criminal empire efficiently.
What about the racers?
While the criminals are robbing the vault, the gearheads are hitting the tarmac. Open Wheel Races are handing out a massive 3X GTA$ and RP. These races require more strategy than your standard stunt race, forcing players to manage tire wear and utilize KERS boost systems effectively. If you prefer something less technical, the new Community Race Series is offering 2X GTA$ and RP.
