As stated in Markyshizzle's guide

Solution for Ocean's 10 In Microsoft Jackpot (Windows)

The place to go for this is the Three Turtle deep dive mini game after you obtain the 3x multiplier. The big problem is the odds of this happening.

Although, I can't help you getting there, it is just a matter of playing, you can prolong your free spins. After you get your last spin, if and only if you win something, the game will stop to show you your matched lines. As soon as this happens, if you don't get the 10 wilds, press back on the left upper corner. When you return to the game, it will give you another free spin, completely different from the other. Since the odds of wilds are bigger here, you will get a lot of prizes, thus, being able to back and come again a lot of times.

By doing this, I ended like having 20-30 free spins in the end, what really helped me easing the pain of getting this.

Hope this helps and good luck.

You can probably exploit this on the end of the section, if you need one or two turtles to get to the chest.

By AP E JC on 21 Jul 2014 16:55

True. Its tough though since you don't get nearly as many pay lines before the last bit

By RunSmith14 on 21 Jul 2014 16:58

Nice find. Will try it out.

By Musquito on 22 Jul 2014 17:47

This has been a great help once I get there, though the last few times I tried it, it wasn't letting me back out. Seems the timing can be a bit precise.

By Geoffistopheles on 22 Jul 2014 18:15

Yes, you have to act very quick. What I did was to have the cursor hovering the arrow and if it didn't show one of the big wilds, I simply back out.

By AP E JC on 22 Jul 2014 18:36

anyone have their game freeze doing this, mine is stuck on a screen saying I have won 600k credits, but I cant do anything, I have ended task from task manager on the process, I can play all the other games but not the fish one now, and the 600k credits were not added to my bankroll

By rocking23nf on 24 Jul 2014 03:08

Unfortunately, you still have to get to that last section :( Ugh, but great to know otherwise. Thanks for this

By RunSmith14 on 21 Jul 2014 16:50

Just so everybody knows how hard this achievement is, I got it after 1470 total deep dives. After I discovered this trick, I got it after only about 30.

By AP E JC on 21 Jul 2014 16:26

I even tried reinstalling the game and its still stuck when I open the fish game, great.

By rocking23nf on 24 Jul 2014 03:57

I forgot:
- second backup after reaching the first bubble with 8 free spins left

By Pteppic42 on 24 Jul 2014 16:19

Backing up the save mid-game during the turtle minigame did not work for me. I tried backing up at beginning and at first bubble. Everytime I would restore the save, I would only get 1 spin and then go back to the regular game mode. Since I had not reached 3X, that 1 spin did me no good.

I played until I got lucky and made it to 3X. Then backed up my save. That worked perfectly.

By CroutonCrusader on 24 Jul 2014 17:43

BTW: You may want to make a note in the guide that the achievement pops as soon as the 10 wilds appear. I was concerned that I may miss the achievement if I didn't let the coin count finish, however that's nothing to be concerned about.

By CroutonCrusader on 24 Jul 2014 17:54

You're right. It unlocked for me as soon as I returned to the game, but I didn't put in the guide cause I don't know the exact timing that it occurs and risk someone not unlocking the achievement just because he backed too soon.

By AP E JC on 24 Jul 2014 17:57

Awesome solution. Thanks worked.

By griffey95 on 24 Jul 2014 21:27

my game is still frozen, how do I reset offline?

By rocking23nf on 24 Jul 2014 23:44

^ Only try this after you get everything else.
1. Uninstall and reinstall app
2. Open app while offline, you should be level 0
3. Play offline a little
4. Close app
5. Go online
6. Open app.
7. It should present you with a choice of local or cloud save. Choose local
8. Play till you unlock the 4th theme.
9. Use the full guide to unlock the achievement

If you want to have your old level back. Make a backup of it before uninstalling.

Hope this helps you.

By AP E JC on 25 Jul 2014 10:09

The level restarted after going back about 20 times because I didn't get enough wilds. Lost ALL my won money. 17k with a 20 gold bet. FUCK!

I was pretty close a few times with 8 wilds.

By Throni360 on 28 Jul 2014 23:09

Thank you AP E JC.this is the great solution I have seen at TA!!
I suggest to make backups,when you finished choose a bubble.
when I make backup at the screen of "choice a bubble", it will not start jackpot time even I reached 3th Freespin spot!!

By mamaani on 31 Jul 2014 00:18

I didnt use this method to grind coins and i only recommend it for this achievement. If you want to grind coins, it is better to use they other methods or simply, back up and go all in until until you win something. You can always use time trick to have a huge balance.

By AP E JC on 17 Dec 2014 15:28

At least I'm not the only one Dirk. I've already spent 5 hours reloading a game with 4 (plus the bubble) spins on 3X and still dont have. Insanity, this achievement is.

By Q u 4 lK e on 12 Aug 2014 21:03

So u only make a backup and replace the old ark and dat files if your game is corrupted?

By nfgmusicPaul on 06 Sep 2014 20:53

I'm glad it worked. Even with this, it is necessary a lot of tries. I imagine doing this legit is highly improbable.

By AP E JC on 28 Jan 2015 14:13

My games utterly broken and I hadn't even tried this. Can't level up, collections have reset and aren't sticking..not been able to fix it either o.O

By InkyPaws on 06 Feb 2015 08:32

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?

By AP E JC on 06 Feb 2015 09:09

I did. I ended up having to copy the entire package folder off a laptop with my account on that it was running fine on, loading it up to dropbox and grabbing it back on my home computer. >.<

By InkyPaws on 06 Feb 2015 20:39

Im a apple user trying to figure out a windows computer. Please tell me step by step how to make backup saves. This is my last cheevo for this game and would love to be done

By oxy71 on 23 Feb 2015 02:52

I give up. Spent 70,000 coins on this. Not worth the effort.

By Tecstar70 on 04 Mar 2015 17:33

In regards to backing up the save during Deep Dive, what worked for me was to back out to the main menu while the slots were spinning or while there was some sort of action occuring. The first time to back out to the main menu and back up the save is when the 3 turtles begin going down. Afterwards, you can back out to the main menu and back up the save separately from the initial one any time the slots are spinning. Don't back out when you have to pick a bubble, for example. That's all.

By Cosminiion on 04 Jul 2015 15:40

This solution was incredibly helpful, thank you! I am in the trial and error process of just redoing the final spin until I get it...

A couple helpful things you could include in the solution:

1. When backing up, I had to close the microsoft jackpot process through task manager to get the backup files to work correctly.

2. If you can get into the minigame with your maximum bet, make a backup at the start of the minigame. Not only can you consistently replay the minigame, but you will earn a lot of money doing so! I also made backups after each set of bubbles if I had a reasonable amount of spins left (i.e. I had 8 when I reached the first set, 3 when I reached the second set, and my last spin got me to the treasure chest). My backup on the final bubble is what I reload and lets me redo the final spin over and over by returning to the menu if you have a winning line. Everytime you spin the coins accumulate instead of disappearing, so I am well over 250 million coins on a 30,000 max bet! It makes getting to level 70 a lot easier too!

By Pandaman822 on 15 Jul 2015 20:39

Hi, thanks for the tips.

For 1, you don't need to close through task manager. If you hold-click the upper bar to the bottom and wait till the windows changes to the initial state, you will close the game properly.

For 2, your tip is extremely helpful, but there is another guide with an awesome way to win money and since this can harm your savefile (if you dont back it up), i recommend going for this achievement last, when money isn't a problem anymore.

Glad I could help.

By AP E JC on 15 Jul 2015 20:56

Glad it still works

By AP E JC on 22 Jan 2016 14:53

Time to burn my 1million coins to try and get this. Is a higher bet amount more likely to get me three turtles?

By InkyPaws on 09 Mar 2016 12:38

Sorry to be daft, but how does one get the 3X multiplier? I guess I have not been paying attention. Thanks

By Onza on 25 Apr 2017 16:15

There is no way you can increase the odds of this happening. From what I've played the game, betting more or less doesn't increase the chances of it. Just keep playing, until you see the turtle mini-game starts.

By AP E JC on 25 Apr 2017 17:14

Thanks! I see the multiplier, but do not know what's affecting it. I'm going to bank a ton of clovers (and coins) and try this again in a while. Almost out of coin now, and plan to use time set trick to bank more.

By Onza on 25 Apr 2017 17:50

Well I guess only 25 clovers can be banked. Oh Well.

I'm going to ask this in all the solutions for this achievement (Oceans 10), but does anyone think/know if the bet amount and/or your level affects the odds of getting this achievement? It just seems strange to me that this achievement is so rare. If it truly is random, it just seems like it should come up more often, but I guess the odds are set high, and the game knows how many spins you have made, but it just seems like if the odds are fair, it should come up earlier too. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Onza

By Onza on 14 May 2017 16:22

Well just read "AP E JC"'s comment, so that's an answer to my question. I still think this game is rigged though.

By Onza on 14 May 2017 16:24

Thank you for your reply. Well I can't believe it. This one just popped for me. I feel so lucky. Barely level 31, overall coins won is 955, 813. Now it's time to grind away at unlocking all bet amounts, but that's going to be easy now that I can start betting big, since I'm not trying to maximize the number of spins.

By Onza on 15 May 2017 20:47

No, money is not important, spins maybe, but I would continue since this is the only sure way to get this. Eventually, you will unlock

By AP E JC on 22 Dec 2017 20:06

Finally got it! I backed up before each bubble to try for maximum spins, then just kept restarting. The ten in a row is gonna be brutal it seems.

By xXOdessaXx on 28 Dec 2017 14:35

Nice you got it, ten in a row was simple with a macro if i remember correctly.

By AP E JC on 29 Dec 2017 13:35

Just got this, thanks to the solution. I made a cloud backup while choosing the last bubble, no extra spins. I backed out as soon as I saw the lines each time. Sometimes I would lose the save, but could get it back from my other machine.

I didn't get a good luck at exactly how many wilds I had, since I instinctively backed out too quickly. Seemed like 12 or 13. Anyway, the achievement will unlock even if you back out during the lines.

What did your macro do for the 10 in a Row? It's too bad the Fast Play and Auto Play turn off after every Deep Dive. I'm not sure how to get around that, besides manually pressing Spin and accepting no Fast Play. Maybe just clicking Spin and the Bubble area would keep things going unattended.

By MathGuy42 on 18 Apr 2018 13:43

Nice, the trick is still working @MathGuy42. someone would have to be extremely lucky to unlock this without it.

For the macro, I don't really remember since it was a long time ago, but probably is a combination of spamming spin and the window area to keep things going. But I probably used another mode for that.

By AP E JC on 18 Apr 2018 13:47

I'll admit, this achievement sucked...

By DavidinCT on 26 Jul 2018 03:18

fuck this cheevo

By alpaca777 on 08 May 2019 01:47

you never get a +3 spins, never. fully rigged RNG BS

By alpaca777 on 08 May 2019 01:49

This achievement is an absolute joke and and this turtle game nonsense is a disgrace to probability.

By on 03 Sep 2021 02:29

Yes, you can use it inside the turtle minigame
Just got my achievement this way:
- first backup at the start
- second backup after reaching the first bubble
and after a few retries -> achievement unlocked after 1391 deep dives without

By Pteppic42 on 24 Jul 2014 16:18

Thanks a lot for this guide! I finally got my last achievement :).

This is also a great way to earn money if you don't have the level 70 achievement yet. I actually got that achievement by writing a program that sets the system clock a half hour forward and automatically clicks on the buttons to watch an ad, but this is way faster. I got about 200,000 coins with only a bet of 20 coins.

To do this, have a backup in the final round of the minigame. If you win something on your last spin, press the back button on the top left and then reload the theme to get another free spin, just like in the guide. Your total winnings actually increases when doing this. If you win nothing on your final spin, then DO NOT press the back button, but wait until your total winnings are added to your balance on the top right. Then quit the game, replace the save data with your backup and restart the game. You'll now get a prompt that your local balance isn't the same as the cloud balance, so your balance will get raised to match the cloud balance. But you're actually still in the minigame, so you can still earn a lot of coins.

Just imagine doing this with a bet of 1,000 coins ...

By UniQ G4M3R NL on 24 Jul 2014 18:24

My coins aren't saving with UniQ's method of hitting back if you win and just letting the coins go to my bank if I don't win. Am I missing something, reloading my save too soon? I'm able to keep restarting at the selection of last bubbles but it would be nice if my coins started to climb :P

By MeticulousMight on 16 Dec 2014 01:18

Thank you for the amazing solution and comments. After lots of trial and error, I was finally able to get past the final bubble and chest with 4 spins left. After many, many tries repeating those same 4 spins (along with consistently repeating the final spin over and over with the back out method) I just popped the achievement by getting 11(!) wilds. I even took a screenshot. Thank you all so much, because I would not have gotten these luck-based achievements otherwise.

By Doctor Flatline on 28 Jan 2015 08:56

Thanks for the great guide. I made sure I bet 10,000 going into the minigame and I made a killing on my way to the last bubble. I was able to get the achievement on the second try and netted 10,000,000+ along the way.

By Opto Jock on 21 Apr 2015 07:01

Glad it helps, opto jock.

By AP E JC on 21 Apr 2015 12:36

I don't know it was just me, but what I noticed is the following. I will get the to the first set of bubbles, and then quit and make a backup. Then I repeated using that backup until I had a good number of spins on the second set of bubbles. I then saved again. Again, did this again for the last (third) set of bubbles.

The problem that I experienced is not with game freezing or crashing, but I noticed after awhile that when I reverted back to a save, the wilds that come on the rows of bubbles were gone. The fish that should have been changed to wilds would be back to fish again. So even though I was getting to the chest using this method, I was not having enough wilds at the end.

I am going to try as suggested and create saves after I pick a bubble and see if that makes a difference.

By spacedvest2 on 18 Sep 2015 16:56

This is something unknown, although I think it is not likely. I got it on the minimum bet, so i'd stick with it so you have more chances.

By AP E JC on 09 Mar 2016 12:56

MUCH has changed - I'm assuming - since this 'solution' was posted 2 1/2 years ago.

You are only going to get this achievement during the final stage of Deep Dive (matching 3 turtles during a regular spin) and in order to get to this final stage you must have spun 13 turtles over the course of minimum 13 spins (you could actually get 19 spins, but that is ... I'm doing to say, next to impossible).

The so called prizes and extra spins the original author writes about are gone - you can not add to your FREE SPINs any more and (my experience) the back button 'exploit' only truly works on the last spin, you can click the back button on other spins, but when you return, you are minus that spin.

If you make it to stage 4 of Deep Dive, I'd highly suggest making the backup, IMHO it's much easier to spin the 3 turtles for Deep Dive then it is to finally make it to the last stage.

I'm probably luckier then most, I have a back up of my start of Deep Dive; I backup if I make it thru the 1st stage with 1 or 2 spins and then another at the last stage.

I've also had my 'saves' wiped out numerous times, I don't know if this is because of GAME UPDATES via Windows 10 or being in the preview program; they are backed up in the cloud, but still there are times when I come back to this achievement and I'm simply at a regular spin in Wild Ocean.

By RobG88 on 28 Oct 2016 21:08

Nice, it unlocked for you too. It all comes down to luck with a little help from some tricks.

By AP E JC on 15 May 2017 23:00

Hopefully you still review this. I managed to get down to the chest with three extra spins. I saved and have been trying for a few hours to get this without luck. I made a back up and just keep replacing it for another try. Does it matter how many spins you have at the end or how much money?

By xXOdessaXx on 22 Dec 2017 19:29

Just got this, finally, after yeeeeeeears of on & off "playing" this "game", and I can say I don't think I've ever been so happy to get a measly 10-point achievement in my life. Thanks for the solution. It takes a lot of patience and time, but it's doable with the right luck.

By Paw McCatney on 04 Mar 2019 19:11

Thanks AP E JC, this solution did the trick! Got this after 49 total deep dives. Not sure if others had mentioned this, but one thing i was able to do was to keep spins that gave golden turtles and retry those that did not. If a spin didn't give turtles, I would wait until the slots for the next turn were spinning, backed out, and reentered. I made sure to get a couple of double turtles so that I would reach the final chest with a few spins to spare. That came especially in handy when the back button glitched and forced me to close the game instead, wasting a free spin in the process, as well as when there was no winning move on the board. Once I figured this all out, making it to the final chest was no longer a hassle. Getting the 10 wilds was another story!

By l Slick Nick l on 15 Mar 2019 18:44

Although I appreciate them, I try to avoid solutions like these, as I typically have really bad luck when it comes to things like this. Sure enough, I followed the instructions exactly and tried to do this and the VERY FIRST TIME I tried it, I ended up with a frozen screen like rocking23nf.

Years later, does anyone have a quick and reliable fix that doesn't involve me starting a new local save?

By Johnny Sinister on 22 Mar 2019 14:18

Sorry to hear about that. I will update the solution explaining that this can happen and how to mitigate it. I had tons of problems with this game with random crashes, freezes, and even a level restart to zero. Since I played in two machines I could always recover. In your particular cases, you could try to remove with the savegame files, in order to detect which is responsible for the problem. If none solves, I'd finish all other achievements, mainly getting to level 70, and the force a reset by playing offline. You will need to level just a bit to get to ocean level again. Sorry that this may potentialize the bugs and glitches in this game.

By AP E JC on 24 Jul 2014 11:25

Yes, I got a lot of coins doing that in the process. There is a guide for the level 70 achievement that explains a similar exploit of this glitch. I think the TA ratio of this achievement will decrease exponentially. I Never had so many positive votes so quickly in a guide.

By AP E JC on 24 Jul 2014 18:29

Oh my God. Thank you so much for this!!! Finally done!

By RunSmith14 on 24 Jul 2014 19:14

I cant get it to work can someone spell it out for me

By EMT 969 on 31 Jul 2014 15:49

I'll pm u

By EMT 969 on 31 Jul 2014 16:50

Thanks for this AP E JC, I had the same problem as mamaani2nd mentioned above. If I tried to make a backup when the game was asking me to pick a bubble, the backup would either take me to a frozen deep dive board or back to the main board. Picking a bubble and quitting as soon as the reels starting spinning and making a backup there worked. I had a backup with 2 spins left after opening the chest and although I didn't count how many spins it took to get ten wilds, I know I spent about 6 hours reloading that backup and watching those 2 spins fail before I finally got it. So glad to be done with this 'game'

By Dirk Omnivore on 11 Aug 2014 00:34

Thanks for the clarification, I updated the guide to reflect this. By the way, 6 hours! Impressive.

By AP E JC on 11 Aug 2014 10:26

Fucking genius. Been playing legit, 1000 deep dives and nothing. Will try this tonight, +1 from me.

By PrimeBigTime on 22 Aug 2014 01:59

As i said, leave this to last, so you dont worry losing coins

By AP E JC on 04 Mar 2015 18:22

BTW, this "game" sucks. I wouldn't even classify it as a game.

By spacedvest2 on 18 Sep 2015 16:57

This worked exactly as described for me. It took me about 20 tries of backing out and redoing my last spin. Thank you for figuring this out.

By napoearth on 22 Jan 2016 13:38

Got it today without having to use save states. I was at level 102, I started this game four weeks ago, got all achievement except Ocean Eleven 3,5 weeks ago and today I finally got it. Letting the game run in the background the whole day (when I was at home).
Got it at minimum bet.

Keep trying if you don't have it yet, some day luck is at your side.

By Bundeslang on 12 May 2016 20:41

Sorry, I'm calling bullshit on just letting this run in the background all day.

I'm getting 3 turtles, easily every 2,3-5 minutes, and then there's the Cherry/Bar/Bell special where you have to interactive with the game.

There's no way you can let any of these jackpot games run in the background.

And there is no way you're getting 10 WILDs unless you've made it to the last stage of DEEP DIVE.

If you're saying you made it to the last stage of Deep Dive and never took a backup and got 10 Wilds then you just wasted the luck the universe granted you on a shitty video game.

By RobG88 on 28 Oct 2016 20:33

Definitely a lot of luck involved, if you can consistently use the exploit. I never played it anymore, but by the looks of what you're saying, it got worst.

People are still unlocking it, so it is definitely doable, but not easy.

I can't recommend using backups, since they were abolished from the site's guides.

By AP E JC on 29 Oct 2016 11:12

I understand you and I also think that leveling up or betting higher should increase the odds, but I don't think so. There are people who got incredibly lucky and got this early in the game, and others that struggled to get it.

By AP E JC on 14 May 2017 23:54

My recommendation for you is to follow Mtld's tips in keeping a backup in a second machine so you can keep trying and trying when you get to the point of the minigame.

To get this you need to do the Three Turtle deep dive mini game where you pick 3 bubbles. For me, this was only possible after completing the 3rd and final set of bubbles and 3x by winning the chest. The chances of you doing this are insanely small... This game is here to rip you off. Just stick at it, you will get it eventually.

Thank god it's not just me...

By Q u 4 lK e on 06 Jul 2014 23:21

63 deep dives and haven't got this yet, took me 60 deep dives to get to the treasure chest

By rocking23nf on 09 Jul 2014 19:21

I think MS did that on purpose realizing that if it was truly by chance then everyone would get the chest every time. They fucked up by making it too easy, so the only way to fix it was to make the +1's show up 90% of the time. I just keep clicking the middle bubble and have gotten only a handful of +2's. Out of about 50 dives, I got the chest only 2 times.

By PrimeBigTime on 07 Jul 2014 06:16

I got a +3 today! Took over a hundred bubbles but it IS possible.

By PrimeBigTime on 07 Jul 2014 13:47

..and with that, holy crap! I literally just hit +2 right after I typed that. What are the odds? (Wait, no, I don't want to figure that out...)

By Sashamorning on 07 Jul 2014 14:32

This is annoying as all get-out. Thanks for letting me know what I have to do...someday lol.

Nice haul on that dive, by the way!

By Sashamorning on 06 Jul 2014 17:15

The most irritating thing about this mini game is the pick a bubble bit...its amazing how you almost always get +1 rather than +2/+3...

By flip407 on 06 Jul 2014 17:49

Lol, I don't even remember the last time I got a +3.

By lI Majora Il on 06 Jul 2014 18:50

its literally rigged. 18/20x i got +1

By Markyshizzle on 06 Jul 2014 20:34

Yep, Choose the 1st bubble so many times, always got 1x, as soon as you pick another one, that one is the 1x.

By BlazinBuckwheat on 06 Jul 2014 22:36

how the bubble selection works:

whichever one you choose will be +1.

Occasionally if your religion loves you, the stars align in the sky and maybe 2 meteors fly by earth, you'll get a +2.

And if you win the lottery twice, you'll get a +3.

PSA: its not a 33% chance to get the other 2 spin results and you happened to choose a +1.

By MemoriesOfFinal on 08 Jul 2014 20:51

i dont plan on opening the game again so... lol...

Ugh.

366 deep dives and nothing yet

By dfs1402eX on 10 Jul 2014 15:03

I keep running out of tokens. Hate doing the time glitch, but god, this achievement sucks. Only 26 deep dives...looks like I've got a lot ahead of me >.<

By Q u 4 lK e on 10 Jul 2014 20:07

RobG88, I like you theory. I tracked the results of the bubbles in a text file, and they do not seem random. Of course any weird pattern can still be random, but... For 10 spins I was always picking bubble 2, and bubble 1 was always the +3. As soon as I picked bubble 1, the 3 was gone. I too think it is more than luck, but I think the game is cheating. That being said, ...

I'm going to ask this in all the solutions for this achievement (Oceans 10), but does anyone think/know if the bet amount and/or your level affects the odds of getting this achievement? It just seems strange to me that this achievement is so rare. If it truly is random, it just seems like it should come up more often, but I guess the odds are set high, and the game knows how many spins you have made, but it just seems like if the odds are fair, it should come up earlier too. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Onza

Well I can't believe it. This one just popped for me. I feel so lucky. Barely level 31, overall coins won is 955, 813. Now it's time to grind away at unlocking all bet amounts, but that's going to be easy now that I can start betting big, since I'm not trying to maximize the number of spins.

Would it be possible to get a link to the video? It appears to be broken.

By Wiznyatt on 27 Apr 2019 16:43

it was just a screenshot

By Markyshizzle on 28 Apr 2019 14:24

You think that's bad? I'm on 153 right now lol..

By lI Majora Il on 09 Jul 2014 19:52

Lol, I thought it was only me. Indeed, the game is rigged. You almost always get +1 in the bubbles.

By cccuaresma1 on 11 Jul 2014 14:01

ok, this is just crazy. I'm at 19,283 spins and nothing yet. Probably 15,000 are on wild ocean alone! I'm guessing about 500 deep dives. I guess the random factor has chosen to randomly let me be the one who doesn't get it!

By Necromancer2k8 on 13 Jul 2014 16:12

700 deep dives - still nothing

By Pteppic42 on 15 Jul 2014 08:40

Just adding to the crazy frustration of getting 1 spin 95% of the fuckin time. Lol it drives you nuts. Played this dozens and dozens of times, gotten 3x twice, 2x a handful.. so incredibly rigged.

By ProjectSix on 03 Aug 2015 05:43

I got 2 +3's in a row lol - still didn't get it :(

By nicklk on 28 Sep 2016 16:40

I don't know if it's complete dumb fucking luck - more likely it is - but I'm of the opinion that the +1, 2, 3 is related to the movement of the bubbles.

I would say in my experience, I'm at a roughly 50% +2, when I choose the SLOWEST moving bubble when it's at its lowest point.

Despise this achievement and game.

Also, just my experience:

FELINE LUCKY, 5 Jaguars, took me maybe 15 minutes
LIGHT UP THE SKY, launch 3 fireworks, maybe 5 minutes.

GOOD INTEL, I swear I've seen the all 4 villains during various sessions, something broken here.

By RobG88 on 28 Oct 2016 20:53

Yeah, it's possible, but the odds of hitting (for me) two non-1s in 30 spins is ~0.00000554% [if I did that right, (1/3)^18 * (2/3)^2 * ((30!)/(28! 2!)) ]

By Sashamorning on 07 Jul 2014 14:30

My first bubble was a +3

Haven't seen another since.......

By MrZombieChicken on 07 Jul 2014 16:45

Can you remember which bubbles you selected? I know its completely random but I'm looking try a different strategy as my methods have no joy.

Congrats on the completion btw.

By Razza69 on 08 Jul 2014 11:21

its random, completely.

By Markyshizzle on 08 Jul 2014 12:23

Holy baby jesus! The last couple of posts are scary! Trying this one right now. I hope im more lucky! ^.^

By InfiniteSkeczer on 05 Dec 2014 03:11

Level 110 with 50,879 total spins and 269 deep dives and I finally got it! Oddly enough, I only had 9 wilds, but four of them formed the giant clam, so I guess that counts as an extra wild. At first I was like "Damn!", then the achievement popped and I couldn't believe it. I had gotten 9 wilds at least 5 times before, but they never formed the giant clam.

Oh, and in those 269 deep dives I got the +3 Spin ONCE and the +2 maybe once every 25 dives. Horribly rigged.

AP E JC's guide lacks a lot of information, but it is definitely the best way to unlock this achievement (and make a lot of cash for lvl70 in the process).

First, you cannot make physical backups of the save file (unless you can...but then it could be used for gamesaving, which is not tolerated on this site nor by Microsoft). What you can do without fear is to have a second Win8 device and use it to make backups of your save using local vs. cloud saving. A second PC, or a Surface, works. Note that you do not have to play offline or disconnect your router at any point during this process. Here is how to do it:

1. Play Wild Ocean on your 1st device (let's call it PC1) until you get a Deep Dive minigame. If I got three golden turtles early into the game, I would wait until the slots are turning (credits to xCosmo BOLTz) to backout from the minigame into the main menu.

2. Close the game completely on PC1. Use Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to close it properly. If on a Surface tablet, use the PC settings - Corners and edges - Clear list.

3. Start the game on your second device (PC2). Choose your Cloud savegame. Now this is your backup. We will use PC2 as a backup device only. This is a savegame that you will not want to overwrite UNLESS you get a good game going on PC1 and you want to save that.

4. Close the app properly on PC2.

5. Start the game again on PC1. Nothing has changed, so we can continue with our Deep Dive minigame. If you get a good game (a lot of golden turtles are showing, you get to tier 2 of the game, and you have a lot of free spins left) you may want to repeat steps 2 to 4 to backup this game. If you are unlucky, let the game finish, collect the cash, and go to steps 6-7.

6. If the game didn't go as planned (i.e., you didn't get 10 wilds on the screen at the same time), close the game properly on PC1 and load the game on your 2nd device (PC2). Now choose the LOCAL savegame. You will be back at the same point of your Deep Dive (where you saved it last time). Note also that you will KEEP all the cash that you made, even if the game was backed-up. This is good news, as you will use this technique to hoard cash for the level 70 achievement.

7. Now close the game properly on PC2, load the game on PC1, and choose the cloud save (the one you just created with PC2). You can now play Deep Dive another time. You will be able to do this as much as you want.

With this method, all you need is a good head start on the Deep Dive minigame, and a bit of patience loading games on both devices.

Some basic information
-The odds of having 10 clams (wilds) on your board increase as you progress through the minigame. When you reach tier 3, 3 types of fishes will be changed into wilds. You may want to update your backup save once you get lucky with the game.

-My game froze once when I backed out of the game at the wrong time. I had to uninstall the game and lost some progress. I never had any further problem when I backed out when the slots were spinning.

-I spent a lot of time trying to get a good head start. In my luckiest game, I had 3 golden turtles on the first free spin, which gave me a new wild and a fresh start. I obviously kept this save. This is where you need to be patient. Once you get this, simply restarting the Deep Dive is quite easy, and the cash rises fast. Use this guide in cunjunction with Geoffistopheles's guide (Sky's the Limit achievement) to make even more cash.

-This method also increases the odds of getting 10 winning lines in a row (the Let's Go Streaking achievement). It works because wilds increase the probability of winning 10 times in a row. This is how I got this achievement also (and did a whopping 7M$ win in the process!)

Yea, I have been just "playing the game" for days and I cant get this one to pop... I'll be trying the other methods here...sigh..

By DavidinCT on 25 Jul 2018 18:46

The cloud server works but the coin sync doesn't.

By The Globalizer on 12 Jan 2019 17:21

This also works only with cloud so something is wrong with that

Great description of how to do the back-ups with an alternate PC. I used this in conjunction with AP E JC's guide and got the achievement easily.

By napoearth on 22 Jan 2016 13:39

Nice technique to make back-ups. I used this a lot in games like solitaire using the desktop and mobile versions. I will reference your guide to help people out.

So just to be clear, would the method you mentioned -which definitely can't be used- actually be considered gamesaving if you're not sharing it? I mean I doubt that would work anyway since it would be linked to a specific profile. And as long as you're not sharing the files with other people, would that really be gamesaving and therefore against the TOS? Seems more like it would be Save Scumming. Which I understand is not the most popular of techniques but I don't think it's actually against TOS. Could be wrong. And of course it's a moot point anyway because it can't be done. But for the sake of argument?

Took me just under 2 hours combining this method (3 spins on the final bit) along with reloading the last spin trick in the other guide and finally got it!

Also for those of you that don't have 2 devices you can use a virtual machine (I used Oracle VirtualBox which is free)
I created 2 virtual machines (called 1 local & 1 cloud so I new what I was using each machine for) and used my Windows 8.1 disk to install windows on both machines (I used the same serial key on each machine - which you can probably get away with for a day or 2).
Then just log into windows normally on each machine with your XBL account, download the game and follow this excellent guide (Don't give up - the odds are extremely low!)

By CheshireMulisha on 20 Dec 2018 17:34

The cloud server is not available for me. If someone else has that issue too then the cloud servers maybe got shut down so this method won't work anymore

By Giincee on 12 Jan 2019 10:00

Not sure what you're saying, but I cloud save-scummed this achievement for 6.5 hours yesterday without issue, until I got the achievement.

By The Globalizer on 14 Jan 2019 02:35

Did this to get the Lets Go Streaking achievement, and it took like 4ish hours to do. I can't believe it.

So happy I got it before the servers shut down.

Hopefully I can get max level in a month or so. LETS. GOOO.

The scatter bonus for the WILD OCEAN slot machine is activated by getting three sea turtles on the playfield in one spin. As the bonus feature progresses past three and eight revealed sea turtles, key icons will be converted to WILDS icons. Closer to the end of the bonus feature the player will have three total sea creature icons converted to WILDS icons and allow the best opportunity to unlock this achievement. The achievement unlocks the moment ten or more WILDS icons are on the playfield at one time.
