Of these new rides, only one can be weaponized. It’s an armoured version of the Paragon R that you can mount machine guns onto.
The only weaponized vehicle in this update is called Paragon R (Armored).
It's an armored version of this car shown in the newswire.
You can only install machine guns to it so not that bad.#GTAOnlinepic.twitter.com/KPbXNQNxSJ

Truffade Thrax
This week’s top Lucky Wheel prize is the Truffade Trax, so you’ll be able to see it on the whirling podium in the actual casino. This Bugatti lookalike is another great super car to burn around in.
Enus Paragon R
The Enus Paragon R is a sports car with a lot of flair. As we mentioned earlier, you can get an armoured version of it as well.
Obey 8F Drafter
As the name suggests, the Obey 8F Drafter sports car looks more like a performance drift racer than the other hyper cars we’ve seen so far.

Weeny Issi Sport
The Weeny Issi Sport is the most customisable of the cars introduced in this latest update. It might be small, but it’s still definitely not cheap.
Vapid Caracara 4X4
Surprisingly, despite being a blinged-out truck, the Vapid Caracara 4X4 has the cheapest base-price of the lot.

You can test these out in a new race series, which includes three fresh land racetracks and four returning favourites.
GTA Online Diamond Program rewards
Dropping alongside the new point-of-interest is the Casino’s Diamond Program, which grants players rewards for enjoying all that the resort has to offer.
Once you’ve bought your penthouse, you’ll automatically be given VIP Membership, which gives “perks and rewards”.
When you acquire the Master Penthouse, you will get Silver Status VIP Membership. This gets you the “She’s Loaded” Wall Art, and a Diamond Classic t-shirt.
After you’ve completed the second co-op mission “House Keeping”, you’ll be granted Gold Status VIP Membership. This unlocks a livery for the new Truffade Thrax and a Truffade t-shirt.
Once you have done all 5 Casino Work missions you’ll get Platinum Status VIP Membership and unlock the Lucky 7s Tattoo and the Casino Store’s special accessory, the Kronos Ära Watch.
To get Diamond Status VIP membership, you need to complete all the co-op missions. This nets you two new livery for two new cars – the Paragon R, and the Annis S80RR. If you host the missions, you’ll get the Paragon, if you join, you’ll get the Annis.
We called it back in June, but we finally have a date – GTA Online’s casino opens on July 23.
The space, called Diamond Casino & Resort, will be located in the heart of Los Santos and will be the “largest mass entertainment complex” in GTA Online.
GTA Online’s Diamond Casino: Start time
If you’re a GTA Online veteran, then this might sound familiar. All DLC usually starts with downtime at around 10AM UK time; that’s 11AM CEST, 5AM Eastern, and 2AM Pacific. The update is now ready for download, and the download size is about 3.5GB on console. The Steam and PC updates are a little smaller, and are also available now.
Rockstar put out a trailer for the announcement:
“The massive construction project on the corner of Vinewood Park Drive and Mirror Park Boulevard is nearing completion, radically changing the skyline of Los Santos forever,” says the press release. “When the brand-new Diamond Casino & Resort opens its doors, one and all are welcome inside to play, or just to stay in the most luxurious residence in the entire state.
“More than just a place to let go of your inhibitions and your sense of the passage of time, The Diamond is the one-stop destination for quality entertainment, high-end living and a range of experiences you won’t find anywhere else.”
Where to find the Diamond Casino in GTA Online
As the Rockstar announcement said, you’ll find the Diamond Casino at the intersection of Vinewood Park Drive and Mirror Park Boulevard. This is up in the northeast corner of Los Santos, on the right of Vinewood and above the main section of Mirror Park.
Among the new activities there’s Three Card Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, Slot Machines, and even an Inside Track where you can watch and bet on horse racing.
In the lobby you can spin the Lucky Wheel to win chips, cash, unique clothing, or even a new motor: the Truffade Thrax supercar. The grand prize – a car – will change week to week.
Gta 5 Online Diamond Casino Update
Elsewhere, the Casino Store houses a rotating range of new clothing for you to purchase.
On top of The Diamond you can enjoy a life of leisure in the Master Penthouse, sitting alongside the roof terrace, complete with an infinity pool. Owners of the penthouse are granted VIP membership, allowing access to VIP Lounges, High-Limit tables, “plus a range of special services via the Penthouse phone including aircraft and limousine services and more”.
“Renovate your residence with several upgradeable floorplans including a private Spa with a round-the-clock personal stylist, a Bar and Party area perfect for hosting raging Member Parties and featuring private retro arcade games, and a Media Room to enjoy games of Don’t Cross the Line and contemporary Vinewood cinema like Meltdown and The Loneliest Robot In Great Britain,” the announcement continues.
“As an owner, you can select the Penthouse’s color palette and patterns, and cement a place among the LS nouveau riche with a range of modern art from the Casino Store – from refined portraiture to pop art and daring modern sculpture – that can all be moved and placed around your property.”
Penthouse owners also become members of The Diamond family, allowing you to take on new missions. Take on these new co-op tasks for owner Tao Cheng and his staff, protecting their interests from “a corrupt family of Texan petrochemical magnates”.
First-time completion of these new missions nets special awards, with the finale granting you access to a special new vehicle.
If you have Twitch Prime, you can get the Master Penthouse for free, as well as GTA$1.25M and up to 15% extra GTA$ on purchases of Shark Cash Cards. You’ve got until the end of the day on July 19 to claim this bonus.
