How to unlock the Shop-o-holic achievement in Shuffle Party - Definitive Guide
(Please be aware that this method could be working only on certain versions of the game, as developers may possibly be aware of this glitch and remove it in a future update. Please comment to let me know whenever this method stops working. Thank you.)
What you need to do is: (the method below is based on Win 8 and RT)
1. Play a game of bowling.
2. At the end of the game when your score is displayed and you are awarded with the money you've earned, don't click anything on screen yet. Instead, go to Help & Options.
3. Click the back arrow under Help & Options. This will bring you back to the score screen. You should have noticed that you have been awarded with the money again (seems that this repeated award doesn't have all those strike/spare bonuses, just your base score: 1 point = $1).
4. Repeat 2 and 3 until you have enough money to buy everything.
Update for Win 10 users: You need to swipe down slowly from the top and then click the three horizontal menu button in top left. Then on the right click help and options. Then it's same as above and repeats. (Credits to SaucySlingo)
(According to the feedbacks, the total amount of money needed is 30,000.)
Note:
A. Try to get a decent score so you will spend even less time duplicating money.
B. To find Help and Options, swipe leftwards from the right edge of the screen if you use touchscreen; move your cursor to the top/bottom right corner of the screen if you use a mouse; click the Gear key if you use a Win8/RT-featuring keyboard or press Windows Key + C for any Windows keyboard. Doing this will call out Windows 8/RT Charms Bar where you will find the Help and Options for this game.
Please credit me if you ever need to repost my solution and any comments are welcome.
Thanks.
On your way to this achievement, you will earn this:
The bowling game gives a lot more Cash than the shuffleboard or the challenges. In a game of bowling you can make 200-500$.
You get a bonus for spare, strike etc. See list below. Also, your final score gets converted to Cash.
Spare --» $10
Strike --» $25
Two Strikes in a row --» $50
Turkey --» $100
Best strategy is to do this last, as you probably still lack some (loads) dollars when you finish all other achievements.
There are several challenges that you can easily receive 50-70 dollars per challenge in less than a minute. (depending on you style)
In total you need $30,000 in winning to win the "Shop-o-holic" achievement
From the Main Menu, tap Pro Shop. You must play games to earn cash to spend in the Pro Shop. Below is a list of the items available and the price of each. Simply buy one of the available items to unlock 'Payday!'.
This achievement will require a lot of grinding/games, but the easiest and quickest way to make money is by playing Bowling Mode. You earn $25 for a strike, $50 for 2 strikes in a row and $100 for a Turkey and every continuous strike after. You also earn $10 for every spare.

The Pro Shop can be found from the Main Menu. It only sells items that provide cosmetic changes to your shuffleboard experience. All of the items in the Pro Shop have a combined value of $30,000. There are four categories of items, each with six variations to purchase: disks ($1,250 each), pins ($500 each), tables ($2,500 each), and frames ($750 each). To purchase an item, just select it from the store and confirm the purchase.
After completing all of the other achievements, you will likely still need to grind $10,000 to $20,000. Luckily, there is a glitch to make this achievement a breeze. This is most easily done in Bowling. Below is the the breakdown of money for Bowling:
Spare = $10
Strike = $25
Two Strikes in a row = $50
Turkey = $100
Your ending score also gets converted to a dollar value as well.
Now for the glitch. Follow the steps below to grind the cash in around 15 minutes. Thanks to JieXY for sharing the method.
1. Play a game of Bowling.
2. At the end of the game when your score is displayed and you are awarded with the money you've earned, don't click anything on screen yet. Instead, go to Help & Options, which is located in the Windows 8 Charms Bar (Windows key + C, swipe in from the right for touch devices, scroll mouse to upper right corner for PCs).
3. Click the back arrow under Help & Options. This will bring you back to the score screen. You should have noticed that you have been awarded with the money again (seems that this repeated award doesn't have all those strike/spare bonuses, just your base score: 1 point = $1). For this reason, you should try to earn a high initial score in Bowling to cut the grind time down.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 until you have enough money to buy everything.
At first it may seem like a big amount, but there is a little trick that I picked up from the guys from overseas.
I recommend doing this achievement last, since after completing the challenges you will have accumulated a small amount and will cover some of the purchases.
And now the method itself, open bowling and try to score a ton of points as best as possible. After completion, the scoreboard will display the number of your points and the balance on top. But do not rush to restart/exit to the menu. To begin, in the upper left corner (namely the application), click on the menu (the symbol consists of three horizontal stripes), select "Help&Options", another menu will pop up, we close it and see that the balance has been replenished by the amount of points we earned. Now just repeat this operation until you accumulate the required amount.
