Rank 3

Win three games of Five Finger Fillet.

Rank 4

Bust one Poker opponent out in each location (Flatneck Station, Saint Denis, Valentine).

Reward: 50 Dead Eye XP and $10

Tips: You need to bust a player out of the table, beating them and making them lose all their chips (ex. if the are all in and they lose.) Quit the game and run for 5 seconds away and come back for a new table when you have spent all your money.

Rank 5

Win three rounds of Dominoes without drawing any tiles against two or fewer opponents.

Reward: 50 Dead Eye XP and $10

Tip: This will be long. Play and wait until it works, leaving after the first or second round and coming back, in Saint-Denis or Emerald Station. Play your biggest/double tiles first.

Rank 6

Beat the Blackjack dealer in every location: (Rhodes, Van Horn Trading Post).

Reward: 100 Dead Eye XP and $15

Tips: Just beat the blackjack dealers one time, at each location.

Rank 7

Beat the Five Finger Fillet opponent in every location: (Strawberry, Valentine, Van Horn Trading Post).

Reward: Gambler Gun Belt

Tips: Beat the opponent so he leaves the table. If there is no opponent, run for 10 seconds and come back.

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

Tip: Sleep at your camp until you have dominoes to play. Or go to Saint Denis or Emerald Station. If you have already won 2 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.

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.
