How to unlock the High Roller achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

The easiest way to win 2000 chips in one hand is to reach the High Stakes poker table in the hotel of Blackwater. There, you start with 2500 chips. Since everyone always fold on the first hand, you win your bet (2500 chips) and get the achievement :)

*In order to reach the High Stakes poker table, you must wear the Gentleman`s Attire outfit which can be earned by subscribing to the Rockstar Social Club:

Additionnal Info: Gentleman's Attire is an outfit available to be worn by John Marston found in Red Dead Redemption.

Maybe I'm just fuzzy on the details, but every time I attempt to do this everyone folds and I only win what's in the Pot, which is a minimal amount.

Seems that if you go all in it doesn't work. What I had to do was bet just less than all in (2499 chips instead of 2500). Then the achievement unlocked.

Not correct, if you go ALL-IN and everyone folds, you will not fetch 2000 chips.

For some reason when I started off I had 2500 chips, but could only bet 2300 so I just waited patiently til I got a good hand and in 10 minutes I won over 5000 chips in a single hand! It's that easy. =)

U should probably actually say WHERE the HOTEL (North end of town, 2nd floor) is, which is where the high stakes poker game is at. B/c it seems everyone is accidentally going to the Saloon's outdoor poker game.

Got the achievement by pressing up and until the number would not raise, skipped the cutscene then did the same thing and I magically won over 2000 chips. I appreciate the guide but the terminology did not match what was on the game screen thus was rather annoying for someone who knows nothing about poker or any card games for that matter.

Updating this: If you go all in and everyone folds, you don't win the 2500+ pot, you win what was in it before you went all in.

You need to bet 2499 and hope someone calls and you win by pure luck. It took me a few tries, but I finally got it.

When I go to Blackwater, the poker game only goes up to 1000, not 2500 as it is for others. I have completed the main storyline - is this anything to do with it?

Also, every time I go all in, even if everyone folds, I still only win like 70. I'm wearing the gentlemans attire too. Please help :(

Yeah, you really have to call it first and then go all-in, otherwise the cheevo won't pop. At least, after several unsuccessful tries, it only worked for me that way. It's a really useful guide, though, since I can't play poker. Thanks!

After crossing the river to Mexico, you will unlock Landon Ricketts. Do 2 or 3 missions for him and a poker game (the mission Lucky in Love) will be available in his area (which is clearly labeled when looking at the map). Buy the property in his area for $200 and save. You start out the poker game with 1000 chips, so all you have to do is play like you don't have anything, get someone to call and go all in and hope someone calls your achievement earning hand. If you lose the game, reload your save and try again.

I used your way of getting this achievement. It worked, but I had to do it 6 times before anyone would call my bet.

Just note that you can play up to 2 hands before having to load your game again, so if everyone folds the first hand (like they usually do) and you win you can still try a second time.

Works in 2021. No need to purchase the property as well as not needing to wait until Blackwater. (although Blackwater method will help you keep that $$$ for yourself) Simply complete the mission "Lucky in Love" as normal. Afterwards, press Start -> Stats -> Missions -> "Lucky in Love" and keep trying for the achievement. If you make it to the cutscene without the achievement, skip it, then press Start -> Game -> Load game. After you load your save load the mission again via start menu. Rinse & repeat. Eventually Landon Ricketts called my $1000 all-in bet which raised the pot to $2015.

The easiest way to do this achievement is in the mission "Lucky in Love" as the amount of chips you start off with is 1000.Simply save before this mission, and enter the cutscene. Then, go all-in until someone calls you, and hope you win the hand. If you fail, just reload checkpoint and start again.

Easily attainable whilst in Mexico. In the mission "Lucky in Love" with Landon Rickets you are required to play two rounds of poker. Once you start continually raise the bet, as the AI should raise as well. I just kept raising and eventually the AI players folded and the pot was at 2,000+. Bam, achievement unlocked.

This is not really a solution in it's own right.

I gained this achievement via the mission: "Lucky in Love" which you unlock through doing mission with Landon Ricketts, just after entering Mexico.

Do 2 or 3 missions for him and a poker game will be available in his area (which is clearly labeled when looking at the map).

You start off with 1000 chips for a $200 buy-in if i remember rightly. All i did was "Call" and "Raise" when prompted. I did not fold at all!

It took me 2 games of this poker game to get this achievement: 1st game i only won 10-12 chips using the tactic above.

With the 2nd game, the AI "raised" the betting about 3-4 times (not including the times it told me to either "raise" or "fold").. so the total number of chips in the "pot" went up quite rapidly to well over 2000 chips.

In the end because i'd "called" and "raised" when ever i could it ment i ran low on chips, but because i had "called" and "raised" the AI (weather it was because of the mission or because of the chips at stake) they "folded" 1 by 1 which ment i took the whole "pot", which had ammounted to around 2100 chips.

Achievement unlocked and then the cut-scene kicked in.

I just want to add that you CAN get this achievement in multiplayer (I just had it unlocked myself today), since I haven't seen it confirmed/denied anywhere. I got this in public mode, I can't say for sure it will work in private mode.

You will most likely need to use the Blackwater table, which gives 1000 chips per player for a $100 buy-in.

High Roller is a easy one, just play singleplayer mode and get your first mission from Landon Ricketts.

The mission starts with a game of poker, and everybody has 1000 chips. Just go ''all in'' on the turn and Andreas Muller will call. Now there will be 2000 chips on the table, and you will ALWAYS win the pot.

Muller thinks you've cheated and it ends up in one bloody mess, with dead bandits,dead Muller, and a dead mexican psychopath.

Result: High Roller (10G)

I got it during the (non high stakes) poker game in Blackwater where everyone has 500 chips to start. I wore the Elegant Suit to improve my chances of actually having a decent hand.
Eventually, the AI will start a ridiculous bluffing war where at least one person will go all in and everyone will call to the tune of about 400-500 apiece. By the end of the hand, there should be at least 2000 in the pot.

There are two ways to earn this achievement. One will be from playing high stakes poker in Blackwater, the other will be to go all in while completing the mission "Lucky in Love". Your aim will be to win 2,000 chips in a single pot. Raising the pot against the AI is very time consuming; you will also need to know the game inside and out to be very successful.

Blackwater:
Before you can access Blackwater you need to complete Act 2 so you can access The North. High Stakes Poker will allow you to place bets than exceed any limit elsewhere in the game. Before you take part in these games you may want to buy the Elegant Suit from the Tailors shop in Thieves' Landing.

If you're not so good with card games but want to learn you can follow this tutorial and teach yourself how to play.

Mexico, Lucky In Love:
If you're not so good with card games but want to earn this achievement with ease you can try and trick the AI in the mission "Lucky In Love". You will be given this mission by Landon Ricketts as you progress through the story. As you sit down to play the game you will start with 1,000 chips. Go all in with 1,000 chips, at this point some players may bet or fold. Once you win, repeat the same bet again. If you're successful you will win 2,000 chips and the story will continue.

This method doesn't always work the first time. You may need to reload a previous checkpoint or save and try again. If all the players fold you won't win the full 2,000 required.

You will find poker games in the following locations:

  • Armadillo
  • Blackwater
  • Casa Madrugada
  • Chuparosa
  • MacFarline's Ranch
  • Thieves' Landing

To get this trophy you will need to win 2000 chips of poker in one hand. There is a pot which is basically like putting in money on the round and whoever wins that round with the best hand wins every chip in the pot.

If you do not know how to play Poker then go to Blackwater and save before attempting to get this trophy. The buy-in is $100 so make sure you have at least that amount in cash. As soon as the game starts, raise all your chips to "All in" which is 1000 chips. There will usually be 1 A.I that doesn't fold and goes all in with you, if you win that hand you would have won 2000 chips and the trophy is yours. If you don't win then reload your last save and repeat.

All I did was bet high whenever my cards matched what’s already on the table or whenever I had a K, Q, J or 10.

I managed to win if I bet 1000 chips.
This will also help the trophy to complete the game 100% to get the US Army uniform. Bet 500 or 1000 chips.

The remaster added a Blackwater poker challenge.
To start it off, in Blackwater, on the second floor of the hotel (not to be confused with the pub, on the second floor of which you have a room), where the doctor settled in the story, there is a secret room with high stakes.

You can sit at the table only in a gentleman's suit (not an elegant suit with which you can cheat).



The tests must be completed in one sitting at the table. I don’t recommend getting up from the table before all the other players are defeated. It may not count. You will be notified that the test has begun.
Always bet less than the pot means you must bet less than all the total bets of the current hand (this number is located above the current bet selection). That is, if you both bet conditionally 20, i.e. a total of 40, then on the next bet you can bet a maximum of 39.
The next point requires you to beat one of the players at the table for all of their chips. Slowly but surely this will happen as the game progresses.
To win twice with a bluff means that, regardless of your cards, you have to scare the other players at the table by raising their bets so that they throw their cards on the table.
