How to unlock the Shoe Money Tonight achievement in Borderlands 3 - Definitive Guide

There is a save station next to a blackjack chest in the first area called "Grand Opening" it's in front of a Handsome Jack statue. This is also the very first one you can get in game as well, and so happens to be an easy farm spot.

It's really hard to miss, and it's within the first 5 minutes. Just quit and then reload if you do not hit 21, and the chest is literally right next to you to open.

It took me about 7 reloads, also you do not have to hit 21 on the first draw, you can pay to hit to get 21, or hit again, or even again if needed to get 21, in my case I had to hit twice.

Enjoy :)

Screenshot of the area in question, it's the first area called "Grand Opening", it's right after you fight a bunch of loader bots after pulling a lever to open the door, there will be an open area, run past this and are stairs, it's at the top of the stairs and save station on the left as well..

There is a save station to the left of it. It's the next save station you come to after you fight all the loader bots, then an open area, it's directly after that open area.

It's not rare because I've exited the game and fully closed and loaded game back up and was still there.

the position on the map is correct, it is not the save station after the first loader fight though. After you defeated those, you get in a open area with human enemies. run through that, up some stairs and you can see the Handsome Jack statue in the distance. The chest is right in front and a spawn station next to it.

I could of sworn it was right after the loader bots, and that's where I thought I marked the location on the map to, thanks I'll change my wording..thanks again.

This is the best area to do it. You spawn directly in front of the chest. Great solution.

Really hate luck-based fuckassery like this. Tried over 20 times, spent well over 100K and still nowhere near getting it. That's why I'm not a gambling man, I'd probably need to spend 100K $ before winning 1K$ with my shit luck. Thanks for the guide though, that's definitely the best farming spot.

It looks like everyone in the game gets this when one person gets a 21 also, I got the achievement when my friend got 21 with him hosting.

Once you get to the chest, if you fail, just adjust the mayhem mode and it will reload you right in front of it.

If you already can change chaos level, that's the faster way to reload the map and spawn in front of a new chest – took me 3 tries to get 21.

Cheers,

Think I just screwed myself out of that one. Gave up the last time after 20+ tries and completed the story and now I completed a good chunk of dlc3 but I forgot about this achievement. The price went up exponentially due to my higer level but the issue is that the enemies and the amount of money I get from anything in the whole casino is a joke compared to what I need to spend to open the chest.

So here's an advice: you're better off getting this achievement the moment you do the casino because if you level up too much the prices will rise skyhigh and you'll have to farm your money somewhere else.

There is a spawn point in Impound Deluxe, Drifting Larboard. It’s near the end of the map. There is a Blackjack game just to the side of some crates, jump down and play and hope for 21. If not Save Quit and repeat till you get 21.

So, to be clear, in the mini game Blackjack chests, you have to get a score of 21, not specifically in 2 cards (aka Blackjack).

Note: This trophy is luck based so backup your save file beforehand and restore it once you either have the trophy or run out of cash. Also note that if you attempt this trophy in co-op, everyone in the lobby will get the trophy (credit to AerisFlowerGirl for this tip).

Throughout this DLC, you will find Automated Blackjack Dealer machines:
 

 
The first one you will come across, is at this location near the middle of the "Grand Opening" map:
 


To get this trophy, you have to keep pressing until your hand equals 21 but going over that amount will reward you with 3 Grenades to the face. If you fail to get 21, then save, quit and reload to try again - rinse and repeat until you get it and the trophy pops.

From time to time you may find chests like the one in the picture below.
You need to dial exactly 21/21.

It's better to make a backup of the game if you don't have enough money or are unlucky.
The trophy is purely for luck.
Also, if you play a co-op game, if you roll 21/21, each participant will receive a trophy.
