The briefing

An arcade is both a playable business and the base for the Diamond Casino Heist. The basement planning area drives the heist, while installed cabinets support the public-facing venue.

The Master Control Terminal is an optional management convenience. Compare heist travel routes and the cost of useful upgrades before spending heavily on the game-floor collection.
