How to unlock the Light Up the Sky achievement in Microsoft Jackpot - Definitive Guide

Since this one isn't very obvious and i have been asked how i unlocked it...
(A patch in the future may change how this works)

When playing Year of the Dragon slot there is a mode called Chinese New Year where getting fireworks on the "board" will cause the fuse on a x2 multiplier rocket on the side to burn.

In order to unlock this achievement you must spin 3 fireworks which will let you choose to launch one of them. Choosing/launching one of those 3 gives you bonus spins EDIT Comments below says: 1, 3, 5, 10 are the bonus spins amounts. I never saw 10 :'( /EDIT

Do that 3+ times and the achievement is yours. Launching the 2x firecracker does not count towards the achievement counter.

I never saw a 10 either. As soon as I get the Lion one, it's back to the Ocean again.

Thanks for clarifying this achievement.
I've gotten +1 spin though. :/

I can confirm that 10 is possible! Not that it helped me out at all, and yet again the ocean saga continues for me angry

do you get the lion one in the same place as rocket spins? I have gotten 3 or more lions in the regular part in Year of the Dragon, but no chievo

Not sure if the odds of this are better now, but I just had the 3 blue rockets spin up 8 times in one Happy New Year.
I also got the +10 twice and at one point had 20 spins.

So I have gotten the 3 fireworks at the same time, 3 times now. Still nothing, Maybe you have to launch the 2x firework then get 3 fireworks afterwards? Idk, just my thoughts on this one. I also got a +10 spins from the blue rockets

I didn't get three rockets to pop more than twice untill i was Level 61. I was doing 5k bets and finally got 3 rockets 3 times. Then i got another 3, then another 3... ended up getting 3 rockets 9 times in that one minigame.

My point is, persevere. I dont know if some of these luck based achievemets are programmed to pop later to keep you playing or what but I still havent gotten 10 or more wilds during a single free spin in Wild Ocean. Onwards...

The cloud save won't remember how many rockets you've set off if you stop in the middle of the game. I used the cloud save trick after 2 rocket sets, thinking I would only need 1 more. But the achievement didn't unlock after just 1 more set. I had to keep reloading the save until I got 2 more sets (after the rocket set that was waiting in the cloud save).

In other words, you need to set off the 3 sets without backing out of the minigame.

See this Ocean's 10 solution for details on how to manipulate the cloud save system.

I have received a couple messages/comment about this and other achievements unlocking early/late.(Collections, Million winnings) Or requiring conditions to be met multiple times. (this, Intel, 5 different bets, one spin in each location)

Just assume every achievement in this game is buggy until it gets patched and officially released. ;)

Wow, just got 10 spins twice (back-to-back) in the same New Year, as well as the 3. Got the achievement in a single launch. Was just reading your solution when I got it, thanks for the info. Like most people I thought you just had to get the New Year's launch 3 times in one game.

simple explanation (see other solution for more details)

play year of the dragon, get 3 red firecrackers to start the bonus game, during the bonus game get 3 blue rockets in one spin (you will have to choose one which awards you more free spins), do that 3 times before running out of free spins (which would end the bonus game).

+1 to the other solution, i just wrote this because i misunderstood what it was saying at first.

The scatter bonus for the YEAR OF THE DRAGON slot machine is activated by getting three lit firecrackers on the playfield in one spin. As the bonus feature progresses, blue rockets will appear to advance the multiplier bonus. On occasion three blue rockets will appear on the playfield on one spin and the player will be prompted to choose one; which will result in additional bonus spins. The achievement will unlock when the player gets the chance for bonus spins three times in a single bonus round.

Not a solution, but interesting none the less....

It looks like the number of rockets you get from a mini-game is pre-determined. The achievement popped for me when I got my first set of 3 rockets. The remaining round I ended up receiving a total of 5 sets of 3 rockets.

This "game" is just RNG (which, to be fair, is what casino games are). You just gotta keep running the stupid thing until you luck out.

When you get 3 firecrackers, you will be congratulated on the new year and you will go to the game with free spins (10 spins), you need to have fireworks during these free spins 3 times, in which you will randomly select the number of free spins more (1, 3, 5, 10 - a matter of chance). Only after that you will get the achievement. Again, a game of luck.
