How to unlock the King of Gamblers achievement in Shenmue III - Definitive Guide
*Missable*
You'll need to have 500,000 tokens on you at one time to earn this trophy. The easiest way to do this is to earn 50,000 yuan and then exchange them for tokens. You'll unlock the money related trophies while doing this.
If you are trying to get the platinum then you'll have to catch 1,000 fish anyway so I recommend that you just do 1 or 2 fishing sessions each day as you play. You can easily earn 500 - 800 yuan per session. You'll slowly earn at least 20,000 yuan just from fishing. Another method is to sell all of your herbs once you've unlocked the trophy Expert Herbalist. You'll earn another 20,000 yuan this way.
Another way is to obtain the following items in Niaowu and exchange them for the skill book called "Tiger Thigh" at any pawnshop, then sell the skill book to the pawn shop for about 80 yuan profit. You can do this as many times as you want. It's a quick way to generate money, but be warned this might get nerfed in an upcoming patch.
These are the items you need along with the shops that you should purchase them from.
- Bargain Buddha - Ceramic Arhat (Sitting) 2
- Bargain Buddha - Copper Statue of a Military Officer
- Bargain Buddha - Wooden Tathagata Statue (Sitting)
- Buddha Heaven - Gold Wise Man (Standing)
- Buddha Heaven - Gold Hermit (Standing)
- Golden Buddha - Gold Bodhisattva (Standing)
In the morning in Bailu Village, I ran to the fortune teller and asked her to tell fortunes about the color (she will tell the color that will bring us good luck that day).
Not far from the fortune teller there is an area with games (we only need one "Flower, Bird, Wind or Moon"). We make the maximum bet and bet on the color that the fortune teller told us. Because at this point the bet is only 1000, then at about 5 pm it makes sense to move to another gaming area (at the very beginning of the village, near the bridge). An NPC appears there at "F, B, W or M", only with max. with a bet of 1500.
It was saved after each win, and loaded after a loss (to be sure to get the trophy faster). Those who are especially lucky and risky can play without save/load
Another option is to combine the farming of tokens with the farming of 1000 fish. We fish twice until 5 pm, then we run straight to the play area near the bridge. So, having profit from fishing, you can spend it on purchasing tokens.
