Rank 8[]
- Win three hands of Blackjack, with three hits or more.
- Reward: 100 Dead Eye XP and $15
- Tips
This is very long, since you can't skip anything. Play at least a hundred hands always hitting with the lowest bet, at Rhodes.
Rank 9[]
- Win three games of Dominoes in a row.
- Reward: 150 Dead Eye XP and $20
- Tips
- Sleep at your camp until you have Dominoes to play (7am to 12am), or go to Saint Denis or Emerald Station.
- If you have already won two games in a row and are going to lose third be sure to leave when it's your turn to play a tile. If your opponent only has one tile left and you have a lot of tiles, BEFORE you put down any of your tiles leave the game and start another. Your progress will be saved.
- Saving the game doesn't save your progress.
Rank 10[]
- Win three hands of Poker in a row.
- Reward: Gambler Off-Hand Holster
- Tips
- Splitting the pot counts towards your win count.
- Standing up from the Poker table resets the counter.
- As with the Rank 1 challenge, just going all in can be a reliable way to win.
- If the player has reached Chapter 4 in the story, they can simply play/replay the mission "A Fine Night of Debauchery" by getting two guaranteed wins, and then replay the mission "Who is Not Without Sin" from Chapter 2 to get the third guaranteed win.
