How to unlock the Way of the Pachinko King achievement in Yakuza 4 - Definitive Guide

This is the most frustrating trophy in Yakuza 4. Pachinko is a type of slot machine game where you purchase balls and roll them down the machine and try to get them into a pocket in the middle. For each ball that enters the Target Pocket, you get 1 chance to spin the Jackpot reel. You can accumulate up to 4 spins at a time, indicated by 4 square boxes that fill with red beneath the Jackpot Reel, so don't waste your balls trying to put as much as you can.

The reel plays out like your common Slot Machine, where getting a combination of 3 identical numbers will send you into the next stage. From there, a cutscene will appear in the middle (best to stop the supply of balls with during this time) and you either press the Push button according to the button prompts or numbers that appear, or mash the Push button if it's a fight scene (no numbers appears).

Successfully passing this stage will result in a Jackpot or Hyper Big Bonus. The Jackpot usually lasts for 16 rounds, and there will be a sentence with a numbers "1, 2...16" on the upper left of the Jackpot reel indicating the current round. Any of your balls that enter the Target Pocket and the bigger pocket just below during a Jackpot it will award you with more balls. By accumulating 3000 balls, you can exchange them for a "Trophy" prize at the counter, which will unlock this trophy. An illustration of the machine is displayed below:


There a couple of cheat items that you should seek out and use to obtain this trophy, because the odds of achieving a Jackpot are 1/400. You should also wear the Lucky Bracelet accessory. What you're going to do is:

  1. Start a session using the 777 Stone (Increases odds of winning by 1.5x until you reach 1000 spins). Remember the Pachinko Machine No. that you're playing at.
  2. Set your speed control between 25-35%, sit tight and watch. Keep playing until you hit a Jackpot.
  3. Try to get as much balls into the Target Pocket during a Jackpot, ideally you should have around 1600+ at the end of the Jackpot. Stop your balls at this point.
  4. Press to stop playing.
  5. Start another session at the SAME Pachinko Machine, use "Get Rick Quick card" (From Underground Locker F4) this time which gives you an instant Jackpot on your first spin. Your balls from your previous session are retained, and now you must try to raise your total up to 3000 balls. Once you have that amount, quit and go to the Prize Exchange counter to exchange for "Trophy Prize".

Alternative method by ZombieBP

  1. Obtain the "Get Rick Quick card (From Underground Locker F4)" on your first playthrough, keep it and complete the game
  2. Obtain a second "Get Rich Quick card" on your second playthrough (you can obtain all locker contents again on Premium New Game (New Game+).
  3. Start a Pachinko session using your 1st card for instant jackpot which should give you around 1500 balls, quit after the jackpot ends.
  4. Start a second session using your 2nd card for another instant jackpot which will bring you up above the 3000 balls required.

Slot machines are located in Volcano.

You'll figure it out in the game itself, there's nothing complicated there.

But to make it easier to get the trophy, you will need 2 Get-Rich-Quick cards (guarantees an instant jackpot).

The first one is in Underground Locker F4 (you mean the locker in the passage). ["Go to Kyosho No. 1 Star and to the back wall, past the employee behind the counter. The key is on the floor in front of the back door." - https://gamemag.ru/guides/yakuza-4/49 ].

The second one can be obtained in Naomi's Palace from Bob if you download a free add-on in the store (something like a test, etc.). s-pack #2.

Next, we use them on slot machines and for 2 jackpots we get approximately 3100-3400 balls. We leave and go buy a trophy at the reception.

The hint is wrong!

Firstly: the key to this cell is on the roofs, among the flower pots on the river.

Secondly: not a single set of Bob 2 contains this card, and in order to gain access to Bob 1 you need to complete the entire game.
