How to unlock the JACKPOT! achievement in RAGE - Definitive Guide

There is no solution to this, it is pure luck, this is Vegas and the house always wins, you might get this 1st go and then again you might have to bash the a button a million times.

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.

Whoever gave this a negative vote is ridiculous, I mean come on Calex dEUS told it like it is, I just did this for an hour and still don't have it. I mean if your looking for a Glitch for this achievement that's fine but don't vote down a legitimate solution.

Took me about 45 minutes - or one episode of Iron Chef if you prefer ;)

As an added bonus I came out about $400 ahead!

Theres no need to save and quit to dash when u get this as u will always make a profit from this game. Pure luck (of which I have none so it took me about 800 bets)

I was already to try this tactic, i started clicking a and changed the channel, after about ten seconds i checked it was working and i already had the achievement. I must have just missed the moment it popped. I kinda feel bad for getting it so easily, when some people are having to bet for hours.

The way i did this was i backed out after the end of every game to the part where it autosaves. Then i would rejoin and bet etc. It took me 4 games (about 2 mins) to net this achievement.

Took me about 50 tries to finally get it (I got 4 crosshairs many times, just never on the first roll). And you're right - there is NO way to increase your chances. It's ALL LUCK. Forget the negative voters.

I think I got really lucky, got it on my first try. And I am the one that always cursing others at being that lucky :)

I have posted solutions for luck-based achievements too, and don't have negatives (yet), so I think this has to deal with the fact you didn't even care to explain where and how to find in the game itself this mini-game. Don't have another explanation for this.

When you get to Wellspring you will eventually come across a group of three men on the floor surrounding what looks like a board with holographic characters on it. (I think it's next to Coffers, where you get your change of clothes). This is Tombstones. I basically saved my game before playing and then kept on rolling (keeping my bet at $5) until I finally rolled four targets on the first round.

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.

You are INCREDIBLY lucky, as I played well over 100 games without this happening to me.... I finally just got it. If only the achievement were for rolling 4 skulls in a row, I seem to get that more than anything...

Yeah, I don't know how you got it in 10 minutes. I've been doing it for probably an hour now and nothing. I've rolled so many games of 12 skulls... you'd think that the odds would be against that...

Did the game have a tutorial or explanation that I skipped over? Did it specify what the dice used were? I'm starting to think it's a six-sided die, with five sides being skulls and only one side being the target. Either that, or the game programming is broken and the randomization doesn't work. I get about 90%+ of skulls. I lose most of my games.

I seriously doubt that the amount of your bet, crimson armor, etc. has anything to do with the odds of winning. I farm this game all the time for $$$ and it appears completely random.

Seriously, how is this achievement actually based in "achieving" anything? I hate achievements like this. I've been going at it forever.

There's also nothing quite as frustrating in the world to get 4 on the 2nd roll twice in a row.

Wow, I didn't realise how long it's been taking some of you guys. You could try changing your bet and see if that helps (I maxed my bet for some of the games). Personally, I didn't think it helped, but there you go. Also, I am playing on nightmare and have the Crimson Elite Armour. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

After about an hour trying to get this achievement to pop (crimson elite armor, normal dif, $25 bet) and seeing 4 targets in a row only once, on a third roll I decided to check this site. Read the guides, for what they're worth and saw a string of comments stating that after betting $10 they got the achievement rather quickly. I decided to give it a try.

Set bet to $10. Rolled.
4 targets, first time.
WTF?

Second round was 12 skulls.

I hate Tombstones.

Everybody:

The amount of your bet, Crimson Armor, or anything else does not affect the odds of you winning. The only thing that matters is luck. This game is purely luck based. Simply put: You roll 4 "dice" or whatever they are. If you get the four targets on your first roll, you get 10x's the amount of your bet. If you roll the four targets on your second roll it is 4x's the amount of your bet. If you roll the four targets on your third roll, you get your money back. If you miss rolling the four target's on your third roll, you lose your bet. Simple. It is pure luck.

Provided the "dice" are 6 sided and the target is only on one side you have a 1 in 1,296 chance of rolling four targets in your first roll. 1 in 1,296 translates into a 0.077% chance. So, you have less than a 1/2 of 1% chance of rolling the four targets in your first roll.

There is nothing more or less to this achievement other than rolling the dice and hoping that you are lucky enough to roll four targets the first roll with 1 in 1,296 odds of doing so. However, based on those odds, it could take awhile to actually roll four targets on your first roll.

Good luck with the dice. Hopefully the "dice gods" or "Tombstone Gods" are on your side when you roll and you don't have to sit there and roll the average of 1,296 times (or more) to actually get the four targets in the first roll. Because that could take a LONG time. Say an average game takes a minute. That still would translate to 21 hours, and 36 minutes on average to roll 4 targets (provided the "dice" are four sided with only one target per dice).

I got the achievement in about 20 minutes on normal difficulty with a $5 bet. But played it for almost 4 hours straight to farm money. I found it easier, to keep my sanity, but doing something else and just pressing 'A' on a regular basis, ie: watch tv, do something on the computer, homework, etc.

I got mine pretty quick, on normal, wearing Crimson Elite armor as well. I started playing about 10 games at 25, then played 10 at 5, then got it on my 2nd try at 10. It might have been 10 minutes, but definitely not longer than 15.

I think you guys are very unlucky. Was playing this again last night to 'farm' some money and I rolled another 4 targets on my first round (not to make you jealous or anything). I dunno if it helps, but I just constantly press A even after placing the bet.

Yeah, I think $10 is the sweet spot.

I got this on my 1st try at $10 dollars. It's just anecdotal evidence, but that was my experience.

It seems like my odds got much worse at higher bets.

same as knokkleman..1st ever roll on tombstones and i got it..crimson elite armour and $5 bet..this is quite a good money maker this game,i found if i got 4 skulls in the 1st round,regardless of final outcome,pressing b to quit and trying again put a stop to 4 skulls coming out again in 1st round,also i would quit out after 5 or 6 rounds maximum and try again,played for about half an hour and got 4 targets 1st roll 3 times and made over $1500

As stated, this achievement is based purely on chance and luck. So there is no skill involved, or any right or wrong way to get the achievement. Simply play it, and overtime it will unlock. You can see Calex dEUS and Maxxxxine's solutions for tips and advice on this matter.

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)

And worst of all, that 2.56% is just any roll. The achievement pops only if it's your first roll. So rounding up, it's 3/100 chance, but we're looking for a specific turn, and there are 3 turns. The number I came up with is .0027% (yes, that's 27 ten-thousandths of a percent) to hit all 4 targets on your first turn. Jesus, good luck to all of us.

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.
