How to unlock the Choose Wisely achievement in Microsoft Jackpot - Definitive Guide

This is purely luck-based (supposedly). In the first machine, you need to have 3 of the Scatter figures (the totem heads that open their mouths) come up at the same time. You'll know you're close if the wheels start spinning crazily (although it can do this if there's a possibility of 5-in-a-row as well). Wilds don't count for this.

If you get the 3 heads, you'll go off to a different puzzle. There are three doors, each with a different amount of jewels. You have to find a key in each door before you find a skull.

The first door is guaranteed: there are three jewels, one key and no skulls. If you click on the two non-keys first, you'll get extra coins.

The second door is luck-based. Seven jewels, 2 keys and 1 skull.

The third door is also luck-based. 15 jewels, 3 keys and 2 skulls. If you make it past this door, you're into the treasure chamber, where you can choose 3 boxes with coins inside (top prize 2500 coins).

Do this five times and the achievement will pop.

(Fun fact: the odds of getting a key in the second door (assuming it actually IS a fair game) are 2/3, and the odds of getting a key in the third door are 3/5. The odds of making it through to the chamber from the beginning are 2/5, or 40%)

Good luck!

Have entered the chamber 10 times as well; if it has to be 5 times in 1 sitting that's still a problem, as this game crashes out on me by then (win 10 crashes a *lot*)

I think this achievement is unobtainable because my statistics page on the game is showing nothing, and afters a bit of reading the forums this is due to the fact that the game hase a big problem syncing with Microsoft servers ( the message you get when you open the game saying that he cold not sync coins). I am wondering if on a windows phone it's a different situation.

Ancient Temple is the scatter bonus for the TREASURES OF THE ANCIENTS theme and is activated by getting three green native masks on the playfield in one spin. In the bonus feature, the player will pick from a number of stones to reveal coins, keys to continue to the next bonus or a skull to end the bonus feature. Reveal three keys without finding a skull to reach the final treasure chamber where you use the keys for additional coins. Reach that final treasure chamber five times to unlock this achievement.
