Yes, you can do the Diamond Casino Heist setups solo in GTA Online, and the finale can be done with just one other person (or even a random) for a total of two players, making it largely solo-friendly for setups and a duo for the finale, unlike other heists that need a full team.
The Casino Story Missions (penthouse missions) are also soloable now after updates, though they can be challenging.
For the Diamond Casino Heist (The Big Score):
Setups:
- All prep missions (scoping, acquiring gear/vehicles, etc.) can be completed solo in an invite-only session for maximum safety and control.Â
Finale:Â
- You only need one other player for the finale, but they can be a random person from a public lobby if you don’t have a regular partner.Â
Approaches:Â
- The Big Con approach is often recommended for its stealth potential, allowing for easier walkthroughs, even solo for setups and with a decent partner for the finale.Â

Here is the breakdown of what you can and cannot do solo:
1. The Prep Work (Solo Friendly)
Yes, you can do this alone.
You can complete every scoping mission, setup, and prep mission by yourself in an Invite Only Lobby (to avoid griefers).
Tip: If you are doing preps solo, the “Duggan Shipments” mission can be difficult to complete 100% alone without a fast flying vehicle (like the Oppressor Mk II or Sparrow), but it is still possible.
2. The Finale (Requires 2+ Players)
No, you cannot start it alone.
The game physically prevents you from launching the finale board unless you have at least one other person in your lobby.
Why? The heist mechanics require two people to swipe keycards simultaneously (the “dual keycard system”) to open secure doors.
Best Alternative: The Cayo Perico Heist
If you want a heist you can run 100% solo (from setup to payday), you should buy the Kosatka Submarine.
The Cayo Perico Heist is designed explicitly for solo players.
It pays just as well (often better for solo players) than the Casino Heist.
