Check out some of the GTA V modded accounts for sale today to find out! There are a lot of businesses you can run in GTA V Online and one of them includes an arcade. The arcade may not give the most amount of money in the game, but it can make for a quick and easy steady income and unlock a new GTA 5 heist opportunity for you. Here is a GTA guide on how to open up and run an arcade to do just that.
Picking an Arcade Location
If you’re not looking for a new account for GTA Online, you can always boost the one you currently have whenever you’d like on U7BUY! Click here for some GTA boosting at cheaper prices than anywhere else. To start the opportunity to open an arcade, you will need to meet up with Lester in Mirror Park. This will start the ability to eventually perform the GTA 5 Diamond Casino GTA 5 heist by being able to decide which arcade location you would like. You can make the purchase through the Maze Bank Foreclosures on your phone. In total, there are 6 arcades you can choose:’
- Pixel Pete’s (Paleto Bay) – GTA$1,235,000
- Wonderama (Grapeseed) – GTA$1,565,000
- Eight-Bit (Vinewood) – GTA$2,530,000
- Insert Coin (Rockford Hills) – GTA$2,345,000
- Videogeddon (La Mesa) – GTA$1,875,000
- Warehouse (Davis) – GTA$2,135,000
If you plan to get the arcade primarily for the Diamond Casino heist, then you will want to buy an arcade closest to the casino itself. This can include GTA 5 locations such as the Videogeddon in La Mesa which are in the midst of the city and closer to the casino’s location. It is also the second cheapest option, so definitely consider how much you want to spend and how you’ll make your profits from it.
Arcade Upgrades/Renovations
Besides buying more arcade cabinets to build your reputation and income, two other major upgrades can help majorly. The Drone Station ($1,460,000) is one where players are able to fly drones to fly around Los Santos a bit quicker. However, if you already have a means of flight, this upgrade can be easily left last. The Master Control Terminal ($1,740,000) though is far more useful and is a must for all business-running players. The terminal will not only allow GTA 5 players to access and manage their arcade and missions from it but also quickly have access to their other properties and businesses too! It makes managing multiple businesses much easier, so it’s highly recommended for those with lots of plots.
There is also another upgrade that works more as an optional renovation which is the extra garage space. This GTA 5 upgrade is great for players who own a lot of vehicles, but many might not need it due to simply not needing the space. You can also create a spawn point in the Personal Quarters in the arcade though, so this will make it easier to travel to the arcade. However, you cannot teleport to your other GTA 5 businesses, so consider this another factor when buying your arcade.
Making Money
The main way to make money using the arcade is by buying as many arcade cabinets as possible. You will earn the Street Crimes: Gang Wars Edition cabinet for free when you buy the arcade. The fun part about owning an arcade is that you and other players can play them too! You can even play with each other on the same game! It is highly recommended to check each game that you buy for any awards for completing the game or achievements in them. Doing so will give you some free GTA 5 money and more reputation to keep customers coming, not to mention some more fun to be had when not on dangerous GTA 5 missions.
The Diamond Casino Heist
The biggest reason why a lot of players buy the arcade GTA 5 business is for the Diamond Casino heist opportunity. After buying the arcade, the rest of the steps to start the heist are pretty easy and straightforward. In the arcade office, you will find the Lester Speaks fortune teller machine. Interacting with it will reveal the basement staircase entrance. Going down there will let you find the planning board for the heist and even your Master Control Terminal if you decide to buy it.
Interacting with the planning board will let you decide how you want to approach the GTA 5 heist and pay the $25,000 Setup Cost. You can also choose the difficulty of the heist too. The payout for the heist on Hard mode can range from potentially $2,326,500 to $3,619,000. This makes the heist incredibly worth the arcade purchase and makes you profit off of both the purchase of the GTA business and the Setup Cost combined!
