How to unlock the Slacker achievement in Arcade Paradise - Definitive Guide
After hours and hours different days trying to get this finally got it because I didn't realise one thing and as soon as I did I completed it in 10 minutes. You can stack cards on top of each other which I never knew thought you just made a stack after stack. They have to be the same colour cards.
So say you have a (K.Q.J.10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.A) going black red black red etc...and let's say the number 7 in this stack is black. You notice in another column you have a black 7 on its own but no 8 to attach it to. You can move this lone black 7 to the full stack between the 6 and 8. Do this by clicking the black 7 on its own and then clicking the number above the black 7 in the full stack which will be 8 this will then double up the 7 giving you 2 7s in the same stack.
You can also double up if you only had an 8 and 7 (or any 2 numbers in sequence) together as long as the card you want to double up has the 1 higher number attached to it in the column.

Actually I'm not sure this tip is really a tip, and the whole stacking this is definitely a bug. When you stack the cards like this you can no longer click on them to get them to the decks in the top right so they're stuck at the bottom.
Edit: Scratch that, it is a tip lol. Thumbs up for the discovery.
Once I figured out how the glitch worked it made sense. Aim to get all the cards from the top left stack to the bottom, so ideally you'd have two King's of opposing colours with a complete set of K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 of alternating colours, with the two other Kings on their own. Once those sets are set up, send the two overlapping red twos to the goal by pressing A quickly 4 times; and you'll send them both to the goal, do the same with the black twos, then the the red threes, then the black threes etc.
I needed to restart once but I got it very quickly after that.

Once you are able to earn money from the To Do List and purchase upgrades buy the Idiot's Guide to Personal Computing for £90. This adds extra shortcuts to the PC desktop including a Games folder. Open that and play through a game of Solitaire. Once you win, achievement pops.

Solitaire is bugged. You can put cards of the same type and colour in the decks below. I found that after playing during 3h lol.
