Casino Scoping: Find Every Access Point

Casino Scoping is the first real prep you tackle after meeting Lester. It runs in Freemode and you take a Snapmatic photo of every access point, exit, and point of interest around the casino. Miss an access point and you lose that entry option for the finale — Roof Terrace, Helipad, Sewer Tunnel, and so on all need to be photographed at least once.

Walkthrough

Start from the ArcadeHead to your Arcade basement, interact with the planning board, and pay the $25,000 setup fee. Lester will mark the casino on your map.
Drive to the casinoTake any car to The Diamond Casino and Resort on Vinewood Park Drive. You do not need a specific vehicle.
Photograph access pointsUse Snapmatic on your phone and photograph each access point on the perimeter: Main Entrance, Side Entrance, Staff Lobby, Security Tunnel, Sewer Tunnel, Roof Terrace, and Helipad. Send each photo to Lester directly from the gallery.
Photograph points of interestInside and around the casino, ten optional POIs unlock smaller benefits. Most useful: Valet keys, Security Pass, Vault Door blueprints on Ms. Baker's desk, and the Duggan Security Patrol Routes.
Return to the ArcadeYou do not have to drive back — sending the last photo completes the mission. The access points you found now appear on your planning board.

Tips & Strategy

Photograph every access point even if you only plan to use one. POIs unlock approach-specific options and the Yung Ancestor outfit.
The Vault Door POI is on Ms. Baker's desk on the top floor and is only available some of the time — check the desk on multiple visits.
Scoping carries over between heists. You only have to do this once per profile unless you want new POIs.

FAQ

Do I need to scope the casino every heist?

No. Scoping is a one-time setup. Only Vault Contents has to be repeated for each new heist.

Can I scope solo?

Yes, every photograph can be taken in an Invite Only session. Most players do this solo.

What happens if I miss an access point?

That entry option will not be available for your finale planning board. You can replay the mission to grab missed photos.
