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.
Finale:
- 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.
Approaches:
- 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.

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.
