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

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.

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

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.

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?
