Since this is one of the most time consuming achievements in the game, I will give you tips for each minigame and I’ll put then in the order which I believe is the easiest to the hardest (in terms of gameplay and time). Let’s begin,
Note: These tips are from my experience along with the help of a GameFAQs guide which I’ll link at the end. If you have any tips of your own, please comment and I’ll ad them as soon as I can.
1. Roulette
• Where? Purgatory casino, Kamurocho
• Objective? Win over 20,000 chips in total.
It may not look like it, but this is by far the easiest completion in the game, if you have the right cheat item. The cheat item “Zero Jewel” can be obtained during Chapter 6
After that, he’ll give you the Zero Jewel. Now for how to use it, save outside the casino before you try anything. Now go to the roulette table and use your item during the betting stage. Now it’s just a 50/50 chance since the Zero Jewel makes the ball to fall either in the 0 or 00 so bet it all in one of them. If it doesn’t fall in the one you bet, reload your save and try again.
In case you weren’t able to get the Zero Jewel, the completion will take some time but it’s not awful. There are 2 more cheat items: 1 Black Jewel which will make the ball fall in a black number [available in the Ryukyu locker 09(Key is in the alley east of Awamorigura, on the east wall between the two planters.)] and 2 Red Jewel which will make the ball fall in a red number [in Kamurocho locker 38(Key is in Western Theater Square, on the ground near the guardrails.) and the second at rank B of Haruka’s trust].
2. Shogi
• Where? Shogi Ryukyu, west of the monorail
• Objective? Win 5 games
You could try and beat this “Japanese chess” minigame by yourself. OR you could go to challenge mode and beat challenge 1 five times. Here is the guide which will also give you the “Unwavering Shogi Player” achievement.
3. Aroma Massage
• Where? Love in heart, Kamurocho
• Objective? Get 20,000 points in the first course and 30,000 in the second
You have more than enough time to get the require score in both courses. Stay in the oranges (second and third section from the top) but prioritizing the top orange. Keep it close to the lower orange so bar doesn’t screw you when it decides to go up.
4. Blackjack
• Where? Dragon Palace Casino and Purgatory Casino, Kamurocho
• Objective? Win over 10,000 chips in one session
So, you need to win a ton of chips before you leave the table. Again, this is a piece of cake with the right cheat items. You’ll need the “Bust Amulet” [Ryukyu locker 05(Trees line Kitaryu St. On the east side of the street, count three trees from the south end to find this one in its branches (north of Ebisu Pawn) First-Person)] and at least one “Blackjack Amulet” [Kamurocho locker 23(Inside Bantam, on top of one of the speakers in the room.) and Ryukyu locker 26(In the west part of Hatsumachi, just south of the Tamashiro Office, you'll find a sidewalk area with two blue plastic cans and the key in between.)] but get the two just in case. Do this in Purgatory so you can save close to the casino. Go to the high rate table, use the Bust Amulet so the dealer busts for five hands in a row, and be careful not to bust yourself. When the effect wears off, use the Blackjack Amulet which will give you 5 blackjacks in a row. If you don’t have the amount of chips needed at that point, use the second Blackjack Amulet. You should have more than enough at that point. If not, reload.
5. Cho-han
• Where? Dragon Palace Gambling Hall, Kamurocho
• Objective? Earn 20,000 points total.
This is very simple but it will take a while. As you play, the maximum bet will raise and there’ll be more betting options, I’ll let the GameFAQs guide explain it better.
6. Karaoke
• Where? Karaokekan, both Kamurocho and Ryukyu.
• Objective? Get 900 points in all 6 songs
This is my personal favorite minigame. It’s just a pretty fun rhythm game. None of the songs are particularly hard (unlike Haruka’s song in Kiwami 1… I still have nightmares) but don’t expect to get them in your first try. In case you are new to this minigame or need a refresher, you need to press the displayed buttons (
, 
, 
or 
) to the beat of the music, with the only exception being the ones sung by Kiryu himself, for those ones you need to go to the rhythm of the lyrics. In this game Kiryu sings one song: Kamurocho Lullaby. You can get this at any moment but I prefer combining this while completing the Hostesses dates and whenever Haruka it’s available, because it’s kinda sad to see Kiryu clapping at a song… alone… BUT you can do whatever you like.
7. Oicho-kabu
• Where? Secret Gambling Hall in Ryukyu
• Objective? Earn 10,000 tags (losses don’t count)
There are no cheat items but the game is very simple and quick. The maximum bet can also increase but it takes a long time and you’ll probably be very close to completion when the bet increases for the first time, but just in case, here’s what GameFAQs knows about it.
• Where? Purgatory Casino, Kamurocho
• Objective? Win 10,000 chips cumulatively in a single session
Basically, when a round ends, the chips you won will stay in your progress regardless if you lose the same amount or more in the next round, just don’t leave the table before getting the 10,000 chips. Keep a record on a piece of paper or your phone of how many chips you win each round. Again, losses don’t count. Enter the table with a lot of chips just in case, preferably after completing the other Casino games. The cheat item “Royal Joker Card” [one in Kamurocho locker 07(This is inside the Club SEGA at Theater Square.) and another in RyuKyu locker 12(This is right next to the Taxi Stand between Kitaryu St. and Hatsumachi, in the middle of the road.)] can help a little. Use them when you have a decent hand and after the first 3 cards are revealed.
9. Koi-Koi
• Where? Secret Gambling Hall, Ryukyu
• Objective? Earn 10,000 tags (losses don’t count)
So, I can’t give you a lot of insight about this despite being the fourth time I complete this minigame. Just raise the wager in “change settings”… Yeah that’s not a lot, sorry:
10. Cee-lo
• Where? Dragon Palace in Kamurocho and Secret Gambling Hall in Ryukyu
• Objective? Win 20,000 tags (losses don’t factor in)
Another game where is going to take a long time even with cheat items. The maximum bet also rises eventually but it takes an even longer time than with cho-han. or oicho-kabu I can’t give you many tips, but I can give you the moment the bet can rise thanks to GameFAQs
11. Fishing
• Where? In the beach in front of Morning Glory
• Objective? Catch every type of fish
Different baits have different ranges of catch and different fishes appear in different distances. Here is the list of fishes and their distance.
Maguro: 100m-150m
Irabucha: 50m-120m
Mibai: 50m-100m
Gurukun: 30m-100m
Abasa: 0m-50m
Green Turban: 0m-30m
Coral Branch: 0m-50m
Umbrella: 0m-50m
12. UFO Catcher
• Where? Both Sega Arcades in Kamurocho
• Objective? Get ALL of the prices
ecinrun already listed all of the prizes above. I have the understanding that all of them appear in both Sega Arcades, except for one. Silkie Piyo-chan(the black bird) appears inside a pyramid of Piyo-chans that only appear at the Theater Square Arcade. So just keep entering and exiting until you see that flock
13. Golf
• Where? Nanyou Country Club, accessible from the Ryukyu Monorail Station during daytime
• Objective? Get a score of -5 in Competition Mode
My biggest tip is to use the wind in your favor. If you hit the ball low it will be affected by the wind a lot more. I have one tip for hole 3: use the 3W 290Y and hit the ball high so you get as closed as possible to the hole.
14. Battling center
• Where? Yoshida Batting Center, Kamurocho
• Objective? Earn 1,800 points in all courses/difficulties
ecinrun gives good tips for number of hits required in all courses and some good tips for the extra hard one. Easy and normal are pretty straight forward. In hard, try getting double hits (hitting the line between panels) as much as possible so you can reduce the number of require hits, also you can't get a double hit with the middle panel. All courses repeat their own order of pitches, so use this table to know what to expect (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/239455-yakuza-3-remastered...). Watch when Kiryu tenses up, that’s the moment to hit the ball. Also this is a rough estimate of when to hit certain speeds:
• 70-85kph – around 2 seconds
• 100-120kph – around 1 second
• +140kph – as soon as the ball is tossed
15. Shooting (Boxcelios)
• Where? Both Sega Arcades in Kamurocho
• Objective? Finish a game reaching level 50 (51 just in case)
Two huge tips: When you are shooting you are slower and remember that the 2D movement is both vertical and horizontal. With that said, this minigame will take a lot of practice. Pay attention to the presentation of the enemy so you can identify the position of his glowing weak spot, then move as close if not right to that weak spot so you can blow it in one shot. My personal view is, if you wasted more than 1 second within the first 10 levels, restart.
16. Pool
• Where? Aqua Sky, Ryukyu
• Objective? Beat all four opponents in all three modes
The next three games are a nightmare. A very good trick is to put a piece of paper in the screen and align it with the half of the ghost cue ball and the half of the target ball so you can see where will end up. Example in link:
https://www.pinterest.com.mx/pin/1039557526456146845/
Kinda like that. This trick will help you a lot. I personally play one mode from beginner to expert and then go to the next mode.
17. Bowling
• Where? Mach Bowl, Kamurocho
• Objective? Socre at least 200 in one ten-frame game
THIS IS A GOD DAMN NIGHTMARE. You are going to need a lot of strikes and specifically strikes in a row. There a lot of methods for strikes a some work with some people while others do not. My personal one is to position yourself in the right arrow next to me middle one and trying to aim as straight as possible and hit around 90-95 power. If you are a little curved, compensate with the rotation of the ball.
https://www.pinterest.com.mx/pin/1039557526456146867/
I’ll be putting any tips from the comments here because you are going to need every bit of help you can get.
18. Darts
• Where? Both Aqua Sky in Ryukyu and Bantam in Kamurocho
• Objective? Beat all six opponents (three in each location) in all three modes
If Bowling was a nightmare, this is like digging a hole with a hair comb. My general tip for aiming is this: aim to wherever you want to hit the dart, pull the right stick all the way back and then push it just a tiny little bit without letting the stick go, then move your finger away so the stick goes back to his natural position. The time between pulling it back and letting it go must be around 2 seconds. This will guarantee an on-target hit almost all of the time. Now for the tips in each mode.
• ’01 Game: Each difficulty needs a section
o Beginner – 301: Easily done in 3 rounds hitting the bullseye and even with some mistakes
o Intermediate – 501: Go only for the bullseye again and you’ll win in 4 rounds no problem
o Advanced – 701: Even though the AI is very good, it won’t win without failing some shots, unless you are VERY unlucky. It’ll take it 5 or 6 rounds to win so your aim is to win in the 5th round. Go the safe route and focus only in the bullseye. If you successfully hit bullseye in the four rounds, you’ll be at 600 points and you’ll only need 101 points for round five. You can afford some misses but by the end of round 4, you need to have between 551-600 points so your win can be achievable in the next round.
• Cricket: Aim for the 20 points and its x3 (the second red stripe from the outside), when the opponent blocks it, go for the 19, then 18, then 17, then the bullseye, then 16 and finally 15 (not like you’ll ever need beyond the bullseye). For the advanced opponents, if you don’t get a hat trick (hitting the same space 3 times in a row) with the 60pts in the first round, restart. You are going to need that advantage. In the second round, your 20 will be blocked and the opponent will be following the order I listed before, so follow it, block him and make points.
• Count-up: Aim entirely for the 60 points. The Advanced opponents almost never fail, which is BS. Hope for the best, and the best is for the AI to make a mistake
19. Mahjong
• Where? Mahjong Camp in Ryukyu and Orchid Palace Mahjong in Kamurocho
• Objective? Earn over 50,000 points in one match (the result screen’s extra points don’t count)
•DO NOT TRY THIS AT RYUKYU!!! Kamurocho’s mahjong has a lower difficulty. Now, mahjong has a… let’s say, difficult to explain way of playing. In a nutshell, you need to be the first one to make a hand with 14 tiles. Before you start the match, change the rules to “half game” (so you have more time to accumulate your points) and the rest to “use”. Now for the hand I recommend, your hand needs to have a pair, and 4 sequences (made out of 3 tiles) and you shouldn’t steal tiles form your opponents. Focus on you pair first (it can also be made with the non-numerical tiles). For the 4 sequences, make the first two and have 2 possibilities for the last 2. Each time your opponent from the right or the left discards a tile that you can integrate to your hand; you can steal it, but don’t do it because you’ll get less point. When you are one tile way from completing your hand, the game will say that you have a Riichi and it’s only a matter of time and luck for that tile to appear. If an opponent discards the tile you need, now you can steal it. Here’s an example of the type of hand you need:
https://www.pinterest.com.mx/pin/1039557526456146874/
Now I need a 4-of-circles or a 7-of-circles to complete my hand. Be patient and don’t frustrate yourself.
Lastly, I highly recommend the GameFAQs walkthrough; it gives a lot of good tips for other aspects of the game

5. Cho-han
• Where? Dragon Palace Gambling Hall, Kamurocho
• Objective? Earn 20,000 points total.
This is very simple but it will take a while. As you play, the maximum bet will raise and there’ll be more betting options, I’ll let the GameFAQs guide explain it better.
As you continue to play, the roller will offer higher stakes on such things as guessing one or both the dice. Play as you like to get the best gains. Later on, you'll be able to play the house directly once you win if you wish to increase your winnings, but this is super risky, so be prepared. Later, you might be able to have the opportunity to guess the difference between the two dice, winning the amount thereof.
Your maximum bet at the beginning is 200 tags, but as you continue to play, the ceiling for betting will be raised. It's also a matter of what chapter you're currently in. You can bet up to 500 after ten games and you're in Chapter 6. You can bet up to 800 after twenty games and you're in Chapter 7, and you can bet up to 1000 after thirty games and you're in Chapter 12. In order for these increments to happen, you have to exit and return to the game, so after every ten or so games, leave and come back to see if you can bet more.

Initially, you'll have a maximum betting amount of 200. This can be increased by playing a certain number of times. You can increase to 500 if you play a round ten times (all four players being the banker), and you increase to 1000 if you play a round fifteen times.
8. Poker• Where? Purgatory Casino, Kamurocho

Initially, you'll have a maximum betting amount of 200. This can be increased, but it requires both number of times playing the game what chapter of the game you're in. You can increase to 500 and 800 in Chapter 7 if you play ten times and fifteen times, respectively, and you can increase to 1000 by playing 20 times and being in Chapter 12.
Playing the game one time means that all four players need to have been the banker. So yeah, put some music and wait.11. Fishing

12. UFO Catcher
• Where? Both Sega Arcades in Kamurocho
• Objective? Get ALL of the prices
ecinrun already listed all of the prizes above. I have the understanding that all of them appear in both Sega Arcades, except for one. Silkie Piyo-chan(the black bird) appears inside a pyramid of Piyo-chans that only appear at the Theater Square Arcade. So just keep entering and exiting until you see that flock
13. Golf
• Where? Nanyou Country Club, accessible from the Ryukyu Monorail Station during daytime
• Objective? Get a score of -5 in Competition Mode

18. Darts
• Where? Both Aqua Sky in Ryukyu and Bantam in Kamurocho

In a nutshell, you need to be the first one to make a hand with 14 tiles. Before you start the match, change the rules to “half game” (so you have more time to accumulate your points) and the rest to “use”. Now for the hand I recommend, your hand needs to have a pair, and 4 sequences (made out of 3 tiles) and you shouldn’t steal tiles form your opponents. Focus on you pair first (it can also be made with the non-numerical tiles). For the 4 sequences, make the first two and have 2 possibilities for the last 2. Each time your opponent from the right or the left discards a tile that you can integrate to your hand; you can steal it, but don’t do it because you’ll get less point. When you are one tile way from completing your hand, the game will say that you have a Riichi and it’s only a matter of time and luck for that tile to appear. If an opponent discards the tile you need, now you can steal it. Here’s an example of the type of hand you need:

Now I need a 4-of-circles or a 7-of-circles to complete my hand. Be patient and don’t frustrate yourself.
Lastly, I highly recommend the GameFAQs walkthrough; it gives a lot of good tips for other aspects of the game

I think people are exaggerating the difficulty of the pool game. I beat it all in two sittings. The one that took me the longest was Expert nine ball, and that still only took four games. I beat Expert Eight ball on my first try. Just use a straight edge to line up your shots on the screen.
Same with darts, really. It took a match or two to figure out the aim sensitivity, but after that I never had to redo a game more than once, with the exception of Kamurocho Advanced Cricket. The strategy in the comments was spot on, but my hands were just getting tired by that point 😂
Ironically, the intermediate player in Ryukyu was easier than either Beginner for me. He missed the board entirely with like five throws in cricket. Poor sap never scored a point.
Bowling sucks though. Get that one done early and put it out of your mind. I used this website to track my maximum score. This would help me know if I could still hit 200 or if I should restart and save time. I finally ended with exactly 200.

Sharing some thoughts and tips as have just completed this today.
For anyone that's a fan of the Yakuza series, I wouldn't be put off picking up this title because of this particular achievement. It's a mixture of 'grindy', RNG and some reaction/skill-based, but it's not the unobtainable nightmare you might imagine based on comments across different websites and forums.
For me, there were only two games I'd consider to have been 'difficult'. If you can do these, then the rest should be a cake walk.
The first was Bowling. This was due to how finicky it was and the high score needed. In the end, going two steps left and then aiming between pin #1 and #3 (biased slightly more towards #1) gave consistent results. I spent hours doing bowling over and over searching for a consistent strategy.
The second was the Batting Center. I found this to be a tad more difficult than the batting in previous titles. Thankfully, the pattern of pitches is consistent so you just need to build the muscle memory of the swings. As above poster said, Easy was more difficult than Normal and Hard!
[Darts] I didn't struggle much with this. I have an Elite Series 2 controller. I'd simply line up the dart and pull back about 3/4 of the way on the thumb stick. Going too far back sent the dart out too fast and it would miss. Going too slow would cause it to drop into the bullseye (which isn't that bad an outcome). If you can maintain consistency in your pullbacks on the thumbstick, this is not hard to clear.
[Pool] I found the previous titles much more of a pain to complete than Y3. As long as you use the top view (Y button) and imagine a straight line intersecting the cue-ball and the target ball, you will know where the target ball is going to go. Use mid-power shots and aim off the cushions if it helps you get the target ball into a closer pocket. I found shots across the length of the table to miss.. mainly due to my ability to project out the imaginary straight line.
[Mahjong] I did this on the Easy table in Ryuku. It may be that Kamuro is easier, I didn't really test it out. I got the 50,000 score very quickly - maybe within 2 hours. There was no fancy strategy; I kept all my tiles concealed (never used Kan/Pon, etc.) and then used Riichi to go out via Tsumo or Ron.

like mad at the start and ignore the top bar; the Serene Dragon scores are very forgiving thanks to the finisher so there’s no need to be really risky like that.

Some quick notes about the Mahjong minigame completion requirement, which is one of the hardest to achieve:
You start with 25,000 sticks and your goal is to get to 50,000 sticks by the end of the game. The 50,000 does not include 1st/2nd place bonuses applied after the end of the game.
You will probably find it helps a lot to switch from the default "quarter game" setting to "half game". This doubles the length of the game and gives you more chances to build up a score.
You're probably better off trying for 50,000 sticks in the ranked competition at the Mahjong parlor in Kamurocho. Why? Because you're probably going to be trying many times, and there is no cost to participate. If things aren't going well for you, just quit the minigame and try again -- no harm done.

A little advice on billiards.
Most likely, you already know that for simplicity, you can use a ruler and determine more precisely where the ball will roll. BUT! In the remaster, the developers made things a little more sophisticated and added complexity to the already difficult billiards game.
Namely: at the very last moment, when you use the right stick to determine the force of the blow and directly hit the ball with the cue, you can “mess up” a little, as a result of which the blow will not be in a straight line, as you planned, but a little to the right or left.
The thing is that the developers have increased the micro mechanics of the impact and made it VERY sensitive.
Now if you need a normal, clear strike, your task is to move the right stick (during the strike) clearly vertically. There should not be even the slightest distortion horizontally - the blow will be screwed up. I advise you to do this with your index finger and place it on the stick in a clear vertical direction. It is also important not to make sudden movements - no need to pull back the stick and just let go - the blow will be blurred. Keep your finger on the stick until the very end!
I advise you to move the stick about a third for a strong blow and a quarter for a weaker one. Smoothly - without sudden movements.
When you hit, don't look at the screen, watch your finger.
If you are hitting at a short distance, then this can be ignored, but if it is a long-range strike, then you most likely cannot do without this advice.

At first I was skeptical, but I didn’t find a better method for myself with billiards than this. In 80% of cases, the balls began to fly where they should. The main thing is that the ruler is not too thick and is fixed at a right angle.

A little baseball tip. Before you go to extra hard, go to normal or hard and stick a piece of paper tape on the screen in the crosshair area and mark the aiming point on it. The tape is see-through, and since there is no sight on extra hard, this will help you hit where you need to.
And now a list of balls and their arrival (the speed is approximate, the direction of arrival is indicated by arrows -
