How to unlock the Hobby Horse achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 - Definitive Guide

Heya folks,

There are currently four minigames that give you progress towards this achievement.
Now I don't know if minigames pop up in different locations depending on the player so I'm just going to point out which minigames there are and where I got them:

Five Finger Fillet: First spotted in the smaller saloon in Valentine.
Dominos: First spotted by the stagecoach at Emerald Station.
Poker: First spotted during the first mission for the Reverend. You will take his place in a game.
Blackjack: First spotted not long after visiting Rhodes. The big saloon in town has/had a game going on the upper floor.

Fingers crossed these all spawn in the same locations for you. Please note that you don't need to win the game or a round or anything. Blackjack was obviously my last one and the achievement popped for me more or less as soon as I sat down to play.

Best of luck folks, if there is anything I can do to improve the solution please do let me know.

Edit #1: Thanks to a 2rue boofer for pointing out you may need to play five finger fillet with someone to have it unlock. I apologise if this is what you are missing. I remember playing fillet with Lenny but I didn't think it counted.
Edit #2: There is potentially an opportunity to play dominos with Abigail at the first camp by Valentine. Please take note I only saw this on a stream so I'm not sure how long you have to be at that first camp before it shows up.

Hmmm did all 4 mini games (they all show up in the 'Help' section) but it did not unlock the achievement.

Got it to unlock, had to play 5 finger filet against someone and not solo like you can in some of the saloons. Maybe make note of that in the solution? Thanks for the other pointers

Noted and edited, thanks for the heads up mate.

You can play domino's in the first camp outside Valentine. I believe that's the earliest you can do that

By Fiendish5022 on 28 Oct 2018 14:10

Ah yes I think you're right I believe seeing that on a stream last night. Was this with Abigail?

By Notorious Kiwi on 28 Oct 2018 23:41

I played dominos with Hosea in the camp.

I'm having trouble with Blackjack. Whenever I go to the saloon in Rhodes, the blackjack table is empty and I am unable to play it. Is it only playable at a certain time of day or something?

By I Ebon Hawk I on 30 Oct 2018 05:34

You should change the Five Finger Fillet location to Strawberry. It's located lower left of the town near the stagecoach. This place has a player at the table waiting to play.

By xMR T 17 on 01 Nov 2018 03:59

You can play 5 finger against someone at Valentine too - the table was empty first time I went there, but second time there was an opponent. Might depend on the time of day?

By StulockHolmes on 06 Nov 2018 10:41

Yeah sometimes I think you've just gotta wander around for a sec while someone spawns in and gets to the table. Anytime I've done 5FF there it's been at about midday but I definitely did have an occasion or two where no one was there. I just wandered around the room and outside the front door, grabbed a drink and some oatmeal from the bartender and someone showed up.

By Notorious Kiwi on 06 Nov 2018 11:10

i don't think 5 finger fillet is only at one specific location i guess it just varies on your way through the game..

By Wwau on 21 Mar 2020 01:41

thank you it helped :)

By Carizle on 08 May 2020 20:54

How do you get the game is it on Android tablet

By Zoey on 08 Mar 2022 09:54

I've played 9 or 10 rounds of poker. Even wom a couple and it's not counting... Any ideas?

By Titan Mars on 23 Mar 2022 05:10

Is this story related or can you do it online?

By YsoSerious95 on 25 Apr 2022 11:07

That's a good question actually. I have only been there at nighttime and played, I think because that's the time of day it's most full. Unfortunately I don't actually now an alternative location that you can find Blackjack at. I believe I've seen it at Saint Denis in Lemoyne but I've not played it there sorry.

All mini games and mini game locations become available during Chapter 2, after a mandatory game of Poker. An important note is that some game instances are in temporary locations, and some are permanent. The below listed are permanent.

Playing 1 game of each will unlock the achievement.

Poker: Mandatory as part of the story; also in the main Saloon in Valentine.
Five Finger Fillet: Inside of the smaller Saloon in the town of Valentine.
Dominoes: At the Emerald Station (accessible by train).
Blackjack: The town of Rhodes (accessible by train), second story of the Saloon.

I can only play 5 fingers fillest at Valentine's saloon by myself, do any of you can play it with other NPC?

By eatmykiwifruit on 29 Oct 2018 03:55

Yes, I found a 5 fingers game against a NPC in Strawberry.

By DAD2206 on 30 Oct 2018 00:27

First time 5 finger fillet appeared in Valentine the table was empty so I was solo. When I went back there another day there was someone to play against. Might depend on the time of day?

By StulockHolmes on 06 Nov 2018 10:39

I believe the game you play may need to cost money and be in one of the towns. I had played all the games multiple times and no achievement. I realized most of the times I had done FFF it was in camp or solo so I tried in Van Horn and got the achievement

By BL4DE on 13 Dec 2018 23:03

Personally I don't like much of some minigames. In case of RDR2, specially blackjack. Dominoes and poker are fun.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has four mini games that you’ll need to complete. These four mini games are:

Blackjack
Dominoes
Poker
Five Finger Fillet.

You will get this naturally while going for Best in the West, thanks to the Gambler challenges. There are four mini games – Poker, Five Finger Fillet, Dominoes and Blackjack.

If you're lucky, someone at your camp will want to play one of these games with you – playing one of the games through with them will count towards this as well as Friends With Benefits.

It is not necessary to win (and play), it is enough to sit down at the gaming table and leave it.

By JeffSwiss on 26 Oct 2018 09:02

Dominoes, Five Finger Filet and Poker appear randomly in the camp. Black Jack personally appeared in Roads only after the third chapter, arriving in St. Denis and completing about four missions there. Therefore, to get the trophy faster, when you are in Roads, go to the saloon, there will be a blackjack table on the second floor. I noticed that there are several types of dominoes. The rest maybe too. In general, you only need to play one of any type of 4 mini-games. You don’t even have to finish playing.

By I-Van on 29 Oct 2018 07:44

Black Jack appears randomly in Rhodes, don't be upset if you come and there is no one at the table.

By ToNifrayek on 31 Jan 2019 22:07

Just sitting down at the table is not enough; you must play a round in each mini-game.

By Farvbyl on 14 Nov 2018 22:10

Dominoes, FFF and poker appear randomly in the camp at night.
Personally, Tilly offered me dominoes in the second chapter, sitting at a table near the hitching posts.
Played FFF with Mika at the beginning of the third chapter, table next to the medicines.
You can play poker with Uncle in the third chapter, but most likely even before that you will play according to the plot while searching for Reverend Swanson.
Black Jack can also theoretically be played in the camp at night, but personally I have never come across company. And so you can play in the saloon of the city of Rhodes
