Casino Heist diamonds return in GTA Online update with new spawn rate

David Purcell

Rockstar Games have rolled out another GTA Online update on September 10, and diamonds are back in the Casino heist rewards – with a higher spawn rate. 

The game developers have been pulling out all of the stops in recent times, confirming a new heist is coming soon with a brand new location.

This week, there’s a new set of wheels on the Lucky Wheel rewards podium, inside the casino. On top of that, you could be walking out with a whole bag of rare diamonds if you complete the heist.

As confirmed by Rockstar leaker TezFunz2, on Twitter, diamonds are now back with a much higher spawn rate than usual. They’re not quite guaranteed, but we wouldn’t bet against you if you entered the game’s biggest gambling center. They boost the rewards of the mission greatly, so it’s worth looking for them while they’re available.
