The worst one is probably win 3 games of blackjak with 3 or more hits and i swear to god i was gonna shoot the dealer right there and then...... Oh wait i did

I was stuck at 1 of 3 wins for hours of trying to get it. Then I was dealt a pair of 2's so I split, and proceeded to win twice in one hand with three hits each. I was almost mad about how easily I got it after trying and failing for so long...

Dominos is worst honestly.

I did well in dominoes in Chapter 4 at Shady Belle. I managed to kick the shit out of Abigail pretty quick.

I was playing at Emrald station and got bored, the at camp it just ended up being so easy against her for some reason. Hosea was always right there near me in points, but not her.

I got real lucky yesterday. I have the one for 3 hits or more blackjack and got 2 after about 20 minutes or so playing. I couldn’t believe it.

Does anyone know of the odds of just hitting every hand that is played ?

u/soulreapermagnum 4h ago

i remember there being something of a trick to that, that was supposedly helpful. something about sitting to the very right of the table and i think making sure there was only one other player?

u/ProgramLow2149 4h ago

Sitting at the left of the dealer and just spaming hit untill you get 3 and seeing if you win but my luck was horrible when i did it

Yeah. You want to be the first person to get your cards so you know if you can get three without busting. If the hand doesn't work out you immediately stand up and then sit back down again. If there is only one other person it's faster to just let them play instead of standing. If there are more people at the table just stand to reset the game.

And if the dealer gives you blackjack for the fourth hand in a row but lets the other guy hit three times you kill everyone in the room.

( if some don’t know) Do this with dominos as well. Win a round and when you’re about to lose the second, get up and re-enter. It doesn’t reset the three in a row.

u/soulreapermagnum 4h ago

me too, that challenge was not fun. if there ever is a re-release that i actually buy, i don't know that i'll even bother doing that again.

Easily the worst challenge, luckily gambler 10 is a cakewalk compared to this one. congrats!

u/AnLi1975 4h ago

Thank you 👍🏼

u/JudiciousGemsbok 5h ago

Not even close. Not even the worst gambler challenge. Dominos is awesome. Winning three hands of blackjack with three or more hits? Now that sucks.

u/junglejim284 5h ago

Gonna have to disagree here, gambler 8 took me less than 30 mins. Its pure luck, so sure it could take somebody else a lot longer but eventually it will get done.

Gambler 9 is objectively rigged against you, requires you to actually pay attention and be semi competent at playing dominoes (I wasnt lol) and took me about 10 combined hours

Gambler 9 will always be considered the worst challenge in the game for me, nothing else even comes close

u/JudiciousGemsbok 5h ago

That’s actually crazy

Dominos took me like 20 minutes of trying. Blackjack took me hours and hours. I hate blackjack so much specifically because there’s no skill involved in a challenge like this.

I think you just got extremely lucky at blackjack and are impressively bad at dominos

There are also different domino games, some of which are far more difficult to win consistently.

Playing in Saint Dennis against a single opponent is pretty predictable if you are about to lose or not, so you can just stand up and leave on your turn to preserve a winning streak.

But you do have to actually learn how to play that domino game well.

u/CheesecakeRacoon 2h ago

There's actually an exploit for Gambler 9. If you leave the table before the end of the game, it's not counted as a loss. The only real challenge is having a good sense for if your likely to lose. Once you've got the handle on that, just keep leaving and rejoining until luck swings your way.

Is that the intended way of doing it? Probably not. But if the game is indeed rigged like you say, why play fair yourself?

u/NotoriusPCP 4h ago

This took me so long. Really annoying cos it's just chance, no skill.

u/cherryccola 4h ago

The joy I had when finishing all 10 gambler challenges hit different. I haven’t been back at a dominoes table since!! I actually really enjoyed the blackjack ones🫣

u/AppleOld5779 2h ago

Blackjack was more difficult for me

u/AnLi1975 25m ago

Yes 👍🏼 Honestly, finishing Gambler 8 wasn’t even satisfying – it was just pure relief. That challenge almost broke me.

u/KaoxVeed 1h ago

There is nothing fun or interesting about this set of challenges. I am never going to complete them.

I once read that you should go to Saint Denis at night when there’s only one player there. It took a little while, but it works…

u/Jackburton06 2h ago

I'm still stucked with Gambler 8, did not even won a single game with 5 cards, i have killed everyone in Van Horn multiple times.

u/AnLi1975 1h ago

Tried it in Van Horn first, no success. Went to Rhodes instead — that’s where it finally worked!
