Casino Heist Npcs
- 1) PAYOUTS - The heist seems to have a base payout of $2.1m, but expect your NPC crew members to absorb a big chunk of that. It's more realistic to expect to end up with $1.6-1.4m to split amongst your team when it's all said and done.
- The Diamond Casino Heist is a new heist job in GTA Online 's Diamond Casino and Resort update. The casino heist is by far the most complicated heist GTA Online players have seen, but it offers some good ways to make a lot of money along the way.
This guide covers the Diamond Casino and Resort DLC for GTA Online - things like operating casino services, gambling and owning a penthouse. Our GTA Online Casino Heist guides are here: Big Con, Aggressive and Silent & Sneaky approaches. Unless you want to lose all of your hard-earned GTA$ at the tables of the GTA. Any npc from the new heist. One of my least favorite jobs. Is that the one where you have to locate the deal from your terrorbyte and only have like 10 minutes to complete the mission?Fuck that mission, I tried doing it on my own while my teammates were afk.
This guide shows how to maximize both 'Take' and 'Cut' from each and every heist in GTA 5 by choosing the right approach and team members.

Gta Online Casino Heist Npcs
Recruit Additional Crew Members
Patrick McReary

Completing the random event by helping the two robbers, Patrick McReary will be unlocked and becomes available as a Gunman for the Heists.
Taliana Martinez
After the mission 'Mr.Philips' you'll unlock the random event 'Crash Rescue' found on the Senora Freeway near the Braddock Pass.
The Jewel Store Job (Smart Approach)
Casino Heist Npcs
- Max Take: $4,946,153
- Max Michael cut: $1,223,073
- Max Franklin cut: $293,539
- Driver: Karim Denz (8%)
- Gunman: Patrick McReary (12%)
- Hacker: Ricky Lukens (4%)
The 'Smart Approach' is better than the Loud one because only Michael and the Gunman will grab the jewels inside the store. Instead in the 'Loud Approach', the Driver will help too and if you don't get a good Driver, part of the take will be dropped and lost.
So, choose 'Smart Approach', then choose the lowest take Driver because the only thing that will change is that Franklin has to get off the heat using a Bati 801 instead of Sanchez. Choose a good Gunman - Patrick is the best with the lowest take - or your gunman will drop part of the take inside the store and will be killed before reaching the tunnel.
Even if you take the bag from the street when he falls dead, the lower take together with the casualty expenses, will make the worst gunman cost more than a good one.
- Bad Gunman: $4,515,930
- Good Gunman: $4,946,153
As for the Hacker, choose Ricky first of all because he gives you exactly 50 seconds before the alarm starts and 50 seconds is the time given to complete the objective 'Quick Grab' for the Gold medal.
The Merryweather Heist (Any Approach)
- Max Take: $20,000,000
- Max Michael cut: $0
- Max Franklin cut: $0
- Max Trevor cut: $0
In this heist you won't have to choose crew members because the whole job is done by the trio.Also, unfortunately, at the end of the job, whichever approach was chosen, no one gains money.
The Paleto Score
- Max Take: $8,016,020
- Max Michael cut: almost $463,000
- Max Franklin cut: almost $463,000
- Max Trevor cut: almost $463,000
- Gunman: Norm Richards (7%) or Daryl Johns (6%)
The take on this heist depends mainly oh how we move. Each time someone shoots you in the back, you drop money. To avoid that, keep your back covered.
For the team you'll only need one Gunman and if you want to maximize the main characters' cuts, choose either Norm or Daryl. Both will be killed during the mission, but you can grab their bag without any problems. Differently from the Jewel Store Job, the take won't be affected and the casualty expenses are lower than hiring a good gunman - a saving of $18,000 more or less.
The Bureau Raid (Roof Entry Approach)
- Max Take: $331,985
- Max Michael cut: $0
- Max Franklin cut: $242,346
- Hacker: Ricky Lukens (4%)
- Gunman: Daryl Johns (6%), Norm Richards (7%) or Hugh Welsh (7%)
- Driver: Taliana Martinez (5%)
No money for Michael in the Bureau Raid, but Franklin can make a little less than a quarter of a million and to maximize his income, choose the 'Roof Entry' approach.
In the Firefighter approach you'll have two gunmen and if both are mediocre, one will die.
If you hire two good gunmen or two bad gunmen, the cut or the casualty expenses will be higher than by completing the heist with the other approach. Once 'Roof Entry' approach has been chosen, get Ricky as the hacker again( his skills have improved from the previous heist, so he will not cause problems). As your Gunman, choose one guy with the lower cut. He will not die and he'll improve his skill which is best for business.
Last the Driver, take Taliana so you'll get the best getaway vehicle with the lowest cut. Karim costs more and if you didn't use him in the first heist, he will arrive late at the meet up aboard a Burrito instead of an Ambulance. Obviously if this happens, before reaching Lester, you'll need to shake off the heat.

The Big Score (Obvious Approach)
- Max take: $201,600,000
- Max Michael cut: $41,664,000
- Max Franklin cut: $41,664,000
- Max Trevor cut: $41,664,000
- Driver 1: Taliana Martinez (5%)
- Driver 2: Karim Denz (8%)
- Gunman 1: D. Jonhs (6%), N. Richards (7%), H. Welsh (7%) or K. Abolaji (8%)
- Gunman 2: D. Jonhs (6%), N. Richards (7%), H. Welsh (7%) or K. Abolaji (8%)
Here we are at the last heist, the Big One. Choose 'Obvious Approach' to maximize your income because you'll need four guys instead of five. But if you like the 'Subtle Approach' more, go on but avoid selecting Karim Denz as first driver - if you haven't used his services in a previous job - because in this case he will get caught by the police before reaching the highway.
So, after selecting the 'Obvious Approach', take Taliana as the first driver (she will pilot first helicopter) and Karim as the second (he will drive the train). Don't do the opposite, especially if Karim is without experience or you'll lose half of the take.
For both Gunmen, select the guys you want, lower their cut, more money you'll take. They won't die or do anything stupid, so don't worry and select guys like Daryl Jonhs (6%), Hugh Welsh (7%), Norm Richards (7%) or Karl Abolaji (8%).

Here I will explain what are the most important steps in preparing the Diamond-Casino-Heist and the heist itself.
Overview
1.) Security Pass 2. You should definitly steal this one because Security Pass 1 is completely useless and you have to do very difficult hacks (what wastes a lot of time) if you own only Security Pass 1 or none.
2.) Duggans Shipments. Destroy these 10 shipments as many as you can, too. Otherwise the heist will become very hard after they hit the alarm and without 4 players and heavy weapons you have no chance to get inside the vault and outside again. So destroy minimum 3 shipments, so the guards lose their bulletproof helmets, are “only” heavy armored and have heavy weapons like assault Smg. Destroy 6, they wear light armor and medicore weapons like sweeper, shotguns and compact rifle. If you destroyed all 10, the guards have no armor and only have a pistol or a Micro smg.
3.) Patrol Routes. Do this mission too, otherwise you cant see the guards on the map and it would be not so cool if a guard kills you from behind because you didnt see him or if you srew them up in a stealth approach.

4.) Hacking. You cant avoid hacking in those 2 stealth approaches “Silent & Sneaky” and “The Big Con” and if you have done mistake 1.) you even have to hack in “Aggressive”, because you will waste your thermal explosives on these small secuity doors in the casino instead on the doors in the vault. To train your hacking-skills you should buy the hacking console for 425,000$. It seems expensive but if you do the heist more than 1 time you earn many millions of dollars and you can get the money back. Moreover, if u fail the hack, it will hit the alarm and the heist will become more difficult and you have less time in the vault to grab the loot.
5.) Cameras. Only important in stealth approaches like “Silent & Sneaky” and “The Big Con”. This prep mission is only avaiable if you own a casino-penthouse and did the 6 story missions as host. The result of the passed prep mission shows you the position of all security cameras and its field of vision in the casino. If u can’t do the mission, just be careful when you are walking around and take a look on the ceiling. If they see you or a dead guard, it will hit the alarm. You can destroy maximum 1 camera at the same time. Same with paralyzing them with the stun gun.
6.) Location of your Arcade. You should buy an Arcade in the city. No way Pixel Pete’s in Paleto Bay or Wonderama in Grapseed. These are worst because you have to drive a lot around while doing the prep missions and wasting a lot of time. I bought the one in Vinewood but I can recommend Videogeddon in La Mesa, too.
7.) Heist Crew. When you chose your crew for the heist, you should always chose the best avaiable hacker (Paige Harris or Avi Schwartzman). The better the hacker the more time you get to loot the vault. For Paige you need to own the Terrorbyte and for Avi you have to destroy all jammers in San Andreas.
As driver you can chose Karim Denz, he wants only 5% cut and chose the Sentinel Classic as getaway car. The gunner can be the cheapiest (5% cut) too, Karl Abolaji. Here it depends how many shipments you destroyed in “Duggans Shipments”. Even if you destroyed 9/10 shipments, the guards still have protective vests. So you should aim for the head (just like Thor on Thanos).
8.) Stairs instead of elevator. You should use the stairs instead of the elevator, especially if you do a stealth approach. But still be careful in the stairs! There is a secuity camera and 1-4 guards, depending on which approach you chose.
9.) Countdown in the vault. If you entered the vault without hitting the alarm…congratulations! Now you want to stay stealth. So don’t fail the hacks and leave the vault before the time is up. If you do the aggressive approach or already been exposed, you can ignore the countdown of cause. But dont stay too long in the gas!

10.) Escape from the Casino. Possibility 1: Escape through the sewer. Exit the casino by the exit you chosed on your final planning board because there somewhere your driver placed the getaway vehicles. Or leave by the personnel entrance, run over the racetrack, then down and jump over the fence. Now you reached a road where the Npcs are driving around. You can steal one of their cars and drive down in the sewer (you can find it in the south-east on the map). After you arrived in the sewer, there should be an entrance so drive inside and hide there from the cops.
Once the cops are gone, dont drive close to the casino or the police will hunting you again.
Possibility 2: Helicopter. In the west, on the opposite of the casino there is a police station and on its roof there will spawn a helicopter. Dont use your getaway vehicles to drive there and the cops still must hunt you. Otherwise the helicopter wont spawn. Drive around the police station where you can climb on the roof then climb over the ventilation shafts to get to the top. I guess the helicopter-possibility is the only option to pass the elite challenge.
Whatever you do, get off the cops and drive to the Buyer. As Buyer you should chose the furthest away one, because you will get more money. By passing the Elite Challenge, each player will get a bonus of 100,000$ extra.
