Ante Up
Asuka wants Mike to recover some money from a casino, or torch the place.
Asuka | Hello, Mike-san. You've behaved above normal male ability, haven't you? I want you to play mean with a naughty casino owner who hasn't been paying his protection money. Either get the money or light up his place. |
---|---|
Mike | I didn't realize you have such a hard streak in you, Asuka. |
Asuka | Ahh, you haven't seen me at my naughtiest yet. Don't disappoint me and you won't be punished. |
Mike | I'll try. Say hi to Yuka for me. |
Head to the Casino which is directly East of Asuka's place. When you arrive, park up and walk into the blue square.
Casino Owner | I'm sorry sir, you must have white gloves in order to play the pachinko machines. |
---|---|
Mike | I'm not here to play games, guy. Asuka sent me to collect the money you owe her. |
Casino Owner | That she-devil! She's wearing me dry! I can't afford her and the cops that are taking a piece of my action. I tell you what, you take down this cop that's been shaking me and I'll pay Asuka what I owe her. Is it a deal? |
Mike then has to give it some thought as he has a decision to make.
Like many of the previous missions, there are two possible routes through the mission and your choice here affects how much effort it's going to take and the reward you receive.
Choice 1: Torch The Casino
If you want to get the mission over with quickly, you'll need to rig a car with a bomb and park it in the blue square outside the casino. You may still have car bombs left over if you bought extra on a previous mission, but if not, you'll need to make your way a few blocks to the North to purchase one.
When inside your car, presss Select to scroll through your weapons until the Car Bomb is selected, then press A + B together to arm the bomb.
Park it in the zone outside the casino and move away, then use the detonator in your inventory to trigger the explosion.
After the cutscene, Asuka will send a pager message telling Mike he better outrun the cops for awhile.
You'll need to head to the Pay 'n' Spray to clear your wanted level. As soon as the vehicle has been resprayed, Asuka will be in touch, thanking you.
You'll pass the mission and receive a $5,000 reward.
Choice 2: Kill The Corrupt Cop
If you decide to help out the casino owner, you'll need to head North to track down the corrupt cop.
Once you find him and get close, a damage meter will appear on the screen. You'll have to ram the cop car, or shoot it until he gets out and tries to arrest you.
A good technique is to avoid crashing into him and instead, park your car in front of his to block him in, then get out and blast his car with a shotgun.
Either way, you're going to pick up a wanted level so be careful not to get arrested.
Give him a couple of shotgun blasts and he'll end up splattered on the ground.
You'll then receive a message from Asuka telling you to lose the cops via the Pay 'n' Spray.
Head to the Pay 'n' Spray and get a vehicle resprayed to lose the cops. Even if you have police bribes at your hideout from Vigilante mission rewards, the game will still force you to the Pay 'n' Spray before the mission continues.
Head back to the casino at the South-East of Staunton Island and walk into the blue circle.
The casino owner will come running over to chat with Mike.
Mike then has some thoughts.
Pick up the briefcase full of cash then make your way West back to Asuka's place.
Get out of your vehicle and walk into the blue circle outside Asuka's place on foot.
Mission Passed!
After the mission, Mike will receive a mesage from Asuka telling him to get back to her place because she has a sports related mission for him.
- Reward: $5,000 - $10,000
- If you choose to kill the corrupt cop, you'll be rewarded with $10,000, otherwise it's just $5,000 for blowing up the casino.
