What started as an empty lot when Grand Theft Auto Online was first released has turned into a glitzy, glamorous, gambling playground. The Diamond Casino & Resort went live in GTA Online on Tuesday, introducing new cars, missions, activities, and the chance to win big (really BIG – check out this clip of someone winning 2.5 million on a slot machine!)
Here are 5 things you need to know about this new high-rollers heaven, and how you can get in on the action for less with discounted Shark Cards.
Welcome to The Diamond Casino & Resort
In northern Los Santos, a giant entertainment complex has taken down the “Coming Soon” sign and turned on its lights. The Diamond Casino & Resort is the hottest new attraction in GTA Online. It’s located on the eastern side of the Vinewood Racetrack, and the glow of activity should make it hard to miss!
The Diamond features a whole host of games to play, along with a Lucky Wheel that can earn you top-tier cars. The Diamond is also home to “the most opulent living space on the planet”: a luxurious new Master Penthouse. Step into a flat decked out with everything from a media room to a spa. Plus, each Penthouse comes with a VIP membership to the casino.
How to Get Chips
If you want to gamble, and possibly win big, you’re going to need casino chips. You can purchase chips at the Guest Services counter right near the entrance of the fabulous Diamond Casino & Resort. Each chip costs one GTA dollar.
You’ll also have the option of picking up either a Standard or VIP membership when you first enter the Diamond. Each membership includes free chips, and the VIP upgrade includes lots of other bonuses, too.
The best way to get the most chips for the least amount of real-life cash is by picking up a discounted Shark Cards. We have them on sale now in the CDKeys store for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Which Games You Can Play
The floor of the Diamond Casino is filled with activities to satisfy every gambler’s taste. Try your luck against the house in Roulette, Blackjack, and Poker. Give the Slot machines a whirl to earn everything from loads of GTA cash to exclusive clothing. Or, if your feeling especially daring, spin the Lucky Wheel once per day for a chance to win juicy in-game loot.
The Cheng Family Dynasty – New Missions
As you might’ve expected, there’s a heist in the works… Except this time, you’re going to try and stop it.
Work with Head of Operations Agatha Baker to protect the casino from a hostile takeover. There’s a “ruthless Texan petrochemical family seeking to expand their business by any means necessary.”
This massive action-packed campaign features an all-new storyline and missions for 2-4 players.
Chance to Win a New Supercar
After you’re done taking a dip in the rooftop infinity pool, and have finished perusing the exclusive Casino Store, you may want to go for an exhilarating drive in one of the many new vehicles included in the Diamond Casino content update.
In addition to the Obey 8F Drafter sports car and the Vapid Caracara 4×4 is the crown jewel: the Truffade Thrax supercar. It’s shown off on the casino room floor and it can be won (for free) by scoring a winning spin on the Diamond’s “Lucky Wheel”.
You can hop into GTA Online right now to try your luck at the Diamond Resort & Casino. The update is entirely free for anyone who already owns the game.
