Many of the highly popular Hollywood movies are based on real life events and filmed at real land-based casinos. From 21 Blackjack to Ocean's Eleven, many screen writers look to modern day casino robberies for script inspiration. Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Trilogy, in particular, popularised the idea of the casino heist, presenting its plucky band of thieves as the pinnacle of cool. However, history in many cases outstrips the fiction.
- Here's all Diamond Casino Heist cars and the price: Boxville – price: $39800, is a utility van; Bugstars Burruito – price: $598500, the car very useful if you worry about bugs; Blazers Lifeguard – price: $62000, the Quadbike is the cheapest vehicle in this updates, using in the beach.
- Having different approaches to the new casino heist is one of the major new features added to GTA Online via the DLC. One of the three approaches is called The Big Con approach (the others being the Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky approaches).

The Cayo Perico Heist is a Heist in Grand Theft Auto Online which tasks players with infiltrating a fortified island to obtain sensitive documents and return them to the Madrazo crime family (and.
10) Plundering Treasure Island
Casino: Treasure Island, Las Vegas
Year: 2000
Score: $30,000
This Las Vegas casino was actually subject to multiple robberies at the turn of millennium, though only one was successful.
In October, 2000, Reginald Johnson burst into the Treasure Island Casino wielding a gun, making off with $30,000. This followed two previous hits on the establishment, during which Johnson failed to nab any dough and wounded a security guard.
Johnson's general incompetence and habit of returning to the scene of the crime meant he was eventually apprehended in January 2001. This psychopathic klutz was eventually sentenced to 130 years behind bars.
9) Third time's the charm?
Casino: Bellagio, Las Vegas
Year: 1998
Score: (nearly) $160,000
Jose Vigoa, Luis Suarez, and Oscar Sanchez made several attempts to fleece the Bellagio Casino in the late ‘90s. Despite getting their mitts on a substantial take, the would-be thieves bungled the endgame.
Vigoa's face was caught on camera, giving the authorities a clear lead. Realising the jig was up; Sanchez confessed all, stabbing his colleagues in the back for a lighter sentence. Both of his accomplices received life in prison.

8) Casino Royale
Casino: multiple across London
Year: 2000
Score: £200,000
Perhaps taking inspiration from the Bond franchise, three Londoners armed themselves with state-of-the-art spy equipment and hit six casinos across Britain's capital.
One of the bandits used a miniature camera hidden in his sleeve to film cards as they were dealt, feeding images to an accomplice in a van outside. The footage was reviewed in slow motion and wagering instructions were fed to the inside man via a small ear piece.
Its all about trying to find the right casino AND the right equipment to carry out such an extraordinary event. Having said this, all three of these shady gentlemen were arrested for their crimes.
7) Severance pay
Casino: Stardust, Las Vegas
Year: 1992
Score: $500,000
This was not so much a heist as a really badass way to hand in your notice. A sportsbook cashier at The Stardust, Bill Brennan, decided one day that the casino game wasn't for him and made off with half a million dollars in chips and cash.
Brennan vanished without a trace after lifting the money, leading some to speculate that he might've been killed by a greedy accomplice. 22 years later, it's likely that we will never know.

- An absolutely superb selection of slots from all the top providers
- A very responsive and well designed package all round
- 10 no Dep Free Spins + up to

6) Laser swag
Casino: Ritz, London
Year: 2004
Score: £1.3 million
The Ritz made an involuntary pay-out of £1.3 million to three cheaters in 2004, who used lasers in their mobile phones to measure the speed of roulette wheels and predict the outcome of spins.
Incredibly, although all three men were arrested, the judge presiding over their trial determined that no crime had been committed and the accused were let off scot-free. Bet they got a lifetime ban, though.
5) Brute force
Casino: Soboba Casino, Las Vegas
Year: 2005
Score: $1.5 million
Eschewing fancy gadgets, Eric Alan Aguilera and Roland Luda Ramos relied on tried-and-true techniques when robbing the Soboba. They burst in, bound and gagged three employees and held seven more at gunpoint before making off with a pile of ill-gotten gains.
After quitting the casino and hitting the road, the bandits attempted to outrun a fleet of pursuing squad cars. They didn't get far.
4) Bonnie and Clyde
Casino: Circus Circus
Year: 1993
Score: $2.5 million
They say love takes us to strange places. Heather Tallchief and Roberto Solis took this truism to new extremes in 1993, embarking on a couple's tour of casino robbery and making off with two and a half million in an armoured truck.
There's no honour among thieves, even when they're intimately involved, and Solis soon skipped town with the cash, leaving Tallchief and her son only $1,000. Ouch.
3) Riches of the sole
Casino: multiple across California
Year: 1970s
Score: nothing
Although the heist failed pretty spectacularly, it makes it into the top three for its sheer chutzpah. In the 1970s a couple of enterprising University of California students developed miniature computers with the ability to read the movements of a roulette wheel.
Each student slipped a computer into one of their shoes, one a receiver and the other an emitter. Between them, the students hoped to measure and predict the outcome of roulette spins. Unfortunately, the computers short circuited, electrocuting the aspiring sharks and setting their socks on fire.
2) All-seeing eye
Casino: Crown, Perth Casino games free download for windows 7.
Year: 2013
Score: $33 million (AUS)
An ingenious uber-nerd nabbed a hefty sum by remotely hacking into the surveillance system at the Crown Casino in Perth, Australia. By manipulating the casino's camera array and sneaking peaks at dealers' plays, he was able to feed winning strategies to an inside man via an earpiece, pocketing the lion's share of the take.
The Crown was cagey about the exact nature of the scam, but has allegedly captured the inside man, though the hacker remains at large.
1) The MIT blackjack whizz-kids
Casino: various worldwide
Year: 1979-1993
Score: multi-millions
The big one. The exploits of the MIT Blackjack team have become so infamous they were adapted into an (awesome) book, Bringing Down the House in 2003 and a (rubbish) Kevin Spacey flick in 2008.
For 14 years, this notorious team of student maths geniuses ran the most prolific card-counting ring in history under the auspices of Harvard MBA Graduate, Bill Kaplan (Mr. M). Over the course of their long career, the MIT crew nabbed millions at high-stakes blackjack tables.
Despite ostensibly dissolving in 1993, various splinter groups, imitators and adventurous newcomers carry on the MIT team's legacy.

I have done 1- 2 setups a day since they launched the DLC and I have learnt a few things that may help someone.
1st Planning Board: Casino Scope and Vault
Scope Out
There are 10 spots to get, most of them need the keypad and camera in the frame of pic others none. When you enter lobby take the pics there then take elevator to Roof Terrace to meet Yung Ancestor. He is needed for you to do patrol routes, when he rings answer and complete his silly mission. I haven't got all POIs because I have not been to the blueprints in Ms Baker's office, on her desk. You can then build a vault door in your nerve center for 900k. I do have it now. Also I have not panned all the cameras in the vault contents mission which i will do next time.
Vault Contents
You have to find a dude and scan his phone while following him. Using an Oppressor II makes it easy to spot him from approach but dont let him see you on bike before or after, finding him on foot is a bit harder but not bad and dont arm up either, just make sure he is close when you start hacking because he walks off. Go to the casino..
Casino Hacking
- Open your phone, go to bottom right app and launch.
- If the bar is below 1 go to the rear, near managers entrance in toilet next to it.
- BAR 1-2 the opposite side of managers area, 2 Big doors with keypad.
- Bar 2-3 The Inside track room.
- The opposite side of casino from inside track, just outside semi circle white room wall.
- Bar 3+ Behind the Cashier on left looking at from lobby.
- It will tell you to open app and cams come up.
Vault Cam
Cycle through theses slow loading cams until you find the vault, pan right and when Lester says what is inside you can leave and finish. I dont like cash, so if I get it, I ring Lester and cancel the heist losing the 25k initial cost. I've done it up to 3 times but it is still worth it to me not mashing away madly and losing lots in getaway.
Choose your Style
Silent and Sneaky
Hard to do and really hard if you get caught.
The Big Con
Easy to do with Grupp Secs gear entry and any Disguise leaving. Take stairs up from vault and use pause to see their cones of vision, get in behind and knock them out (dont shoot) then sneak into to laundry change and walk out.
Aggressive
Easy to do with good guns and all the 10 Dugan shipments completely killed. Enter through Sewer and leave shooting your way out. You can see that I have the Big Con active on hard, defined by the skull in the icon. When I refer to a Heli they are buzzards except for Dugan Shipments and are all guns only
2nd Planning Board Setup Support Crew
Choose your team 3 types of help. Guns Cars and Hacker.
You have to choose these before you can proceed further.
- Guns I use expert for Aggressive, lowest for big con and 7% or above for Sneaky.
- Cars I ONLY use lowest guy to get the sentinel classic car option in the set up start.
- Hacker I use the best I have for Big Con and Sneaky. Lowest For Aggressive cause it doesn't mater.
- Guns Choosing now between 2 types of weapons. Choose the one you like best.
- Cars Select this and choose Sentinel, it is all you need. When you have them in your garage get in each car car and you will see an option to upgrade it, at least bullet proof tyres. I only do 1 to full and remove livery to tell it apart.
- Hacker As I said above. 'I use the best I have for Big Con and Sneaky. Lowest For Agro cause it doesn't mater.'
3 Planning Board Missions
Now you have that sorted you have a lot of options to select from. Some are compulsory and others not. If it is your first time you should do them all. If it isn't your 1st , you dont need to do Patrol Routes again or Drills. as drills are for safety deposit boxes which i hardly ever get time to do unless I have 4 people.
A lot of players do not realise there are options within these options as well (like team options). You can choose types of Guns, Cars, Entry disguise, Exit disguise, Patrol routes and Security pass Level 1 or 2.
For each Type of Heist there are different options only for that type of Heist and others that you do for all types. I will start with the general ones first.
Its all about trying to find the right casino AND the right equipment to carry out such an extraordinary event. Having said this, all three of these shady gentlemen were arrested for their crimes.

For each Type of Heist there are different options only for that type of Heist and others that you do for all types. I will start with the general ones first.
Aggressive
Thermal Charges
They are usually in a warehouse or Biker clubhouse with 3-4 guys out front and 6 or so inside to kill, medium to hard to live through solo and always 2 packages to collect. When you leave, 2 cars chase you and 2 helicopters a bit later, all are easy to run from if you are lucky.
Vault Explosives
There are 4 sites where they spawn:
- Elisian island this the easiest as you can park quite close to the search site.
- Palteo Bay hard to live through heli assault, I have 50/50 record of living.
- Catfish View hard again.
- Alamo Sea (where Valkerie is in Human labs heist) hard again.
All of these follow the same pattern. When you get there, kill 6 or so guys on land then a heli and 3 boats over the search site. Get changed into scuba gear and park your aircraft on an island or land close to search site. Swim down and find the 2 packages then you have a countdown to get to safety before the helis attack. You can find the other package later if you are solo.
Casino Heist Vehicles
If you are lucky you get away, the helis will still be there when you get back but if you die you are in big trouble. I call the Terrorbyte before I go down to site and if you are lucky you can get in and shoot them with it if they kill you. There are waves of 2 helis that show up each time you kill them and I have seen 3 waves and up to 6 waves come in.
Go away then come back when they are settled over search area and they are easier to kill. Once they are all dead you can collect package/s and go. I've done these solo without dying and you can run out of time if you die, but having 2 ppl makes it a lot easier.
