When they first launched, there was a mad scramble of players figuring out how to host casino missions in GTA Online, thanks to the bonus reward on offer to those who hosted all six of them. Sadly that was a limited-time offer and that prize is no longer attainable, but if you want to take charge of matters then it is still beneficial being the leader of the job, as you can set your preferred options including the difficulty level for the mission and managing who you work alongside in your crew. The process for becoming this lead player in GTA Online is still somewhat convoluted, however, so let us guide you through the method and explain how to host casino missions in GTA Online.

Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way to immediately host casino missions in GTA Online, and despite various players reporting that entering through an Invite Only session or holding down certain buttons while initiating a mission worked for them, this can only be down to coincidence as many more players have found the same methods did not help them. Aptly for the casino update you're going to need a bit of luck to find success here, as this is how to host casino missions in GTA Online:

  • Approach the mission marker in the casino
  • Press right on the d-pad (console) or E on PC to play the mission
  • Wait for the lobby to load and see if you are marked as the Host
  • If not, press the Quit prompt and confirm to return to the casino
  • Repeat these steps until you are assigned as the Host
  • As Host, you can then choose your settings and Confirm
  • Matchmaking will then start, and you can send invites to speed it up

This is all trial and error, so there's no guarantee of how long it will take before you can host casino missions in GTA Online, but at least the process is fairly quick and easily repeatable until you successfully become the Host.

Completing all six of the casino missions originally unlocked exclusive liveries for some of the new casino cars. Beating them all for the first time unlocked an exclusive racing livery for the Annis S80RR, but if you successfully hosted them all then you'd also earn an exclusive tiger-print livery for the Enus Paragon R, as pictured above. It's pretty impressive, but was only available for a limited time to those who knew how to host casino missions in GTA Online, so it can no longer be collected.
