How to unlock the JACKPOT! achievement in RAGE - Definitive Guide
Forget about people saying bet $5 or $10 or $25 I saw just as many losses on those and 4 skulls as any other bet. 4 skulls is stacked to come up trumps regardless from my experience.
So my advice is to watch some TV with the controller in hand and press "a" every few seconds on a $5 bet, and when the show is over come back and find the achievement to be unlocked (like I did, and it was a god episode of CSI too :) ) or not !!!!
Negative votes are cool for this but i'm only spelling out the truth, there is NO solution to this , it is pure LUCK, you might get it 1st time and then again you might get it after 1000 presses of the "a" button.
As an added bonus I came out about $400 ahead!
If you do not get four targets on the first round, do not quit the game by pressing B (unless you're making a nice profit) as this will quick save. Just keep on rolling and betting through the remaining rounds in order to get back to a 'new' first round. After the achievement pops, just quit back to the dashboard and load up your save game!
This didn't take me too long, probably under 10 minutes!
Edit: Added a video guide to all the minigames (this one included) as requested by xTMDxMorbidDead. This is not my video.
Edit: Had to take the video link down as it was no longer available.
What I can offer instead is the probability of you rolling 4 Targets on a dice roll.
I rolled 71 dices over the course of an evening before I got utterly bored of notating my results. But here is what they are:
Dice 1: 22 targets
Dice 2: 29 targets
Dice 3: 28 targets
Dice 4: 32 targets
So the average is 27.75 targets rolled ( (22+29+28+32)/4 ) on a given dice.
Dividing 27.75 into 71 dice rolls yields a 39.08% probability of rolling a target on a single dice. I doubt Id software coded this number, so I am going to round up to 40% which seems more feasible. In essence, think of a five sided dice where 3 of the faces are skulls and two which are targets (since the mini game is with holograms and what not, I don't see this as being too farfetched).
So to roll one dice as a Target is 40%, or 2/5.
To roll two dice as Targets is 16%, or 4/25 (2/5 * 2/5)
To roll three dice as Targets 6.4%, or 8/125 (2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5)
To roll all four dice as targets is 2.56%, or 16/625 (2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5)
So overall you have a 2.56% chance of getting all Targets on a dice throw.
Not very encouraging!
(hope that math is right, it's been a while since I took that stat class back in college)
This is an achievement based on luck, not skill. Tombstone is a basic dice game payed on a holographic game board. At the center of the board is a sheriff surrounded by four mutants. There are 3 rounds to each game. At the start of each round, four die are rolled. For every die that shows a white crosshair icon, a mutant is shot by the sheriff. Get four white crosshair icons on the first throw to unlock this achievement.
Tombstones is a game which you play on a holographic board, there is a sheriff in the middle and 4 mutants on each side of the board, you have 4 turns and if you haven't rolled 4 crosshairs in total by the end of roll 4 you lose. The annoying thing about this trophy is it is all luck based, theres no skill involved just luck of the dice. To get the trophy you must role 4 crosshairs on your FIRST ROLL, this shouldn't take too long but as I said it's luck and it could take ages. This mini-game can be found in Wellsprings, press on the holographic board near the Outfitters to play.
