Popular Post HusKy Posted December 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Those who reached gambler challenge #8 know that it's entirely luck based, boring and a waste of time. However, there's a way to brute force through the odds of random number generators. Before you start Read this guide from start to finish at least once before attempting it. TL;DR: software based turbo controller. This challenge only requires you to press which can be simulated easily via Remote Play. Remote Play automatically assigns certain keyboard buttons to controller buttons Enter is , Escape is , Arrow keys are D-Pad All we need to do is play via RP and press Enter over and over again. This can be automated. Yes, this method can be used with any other game and the button combinations can be more complex. I'll be using Windows in this guide. macOS/Linux users will need to use different keyboard macro tool. The initial setup can take anywhere between 5 minutes to 1 hour. Getting Remote Play working might be the hardest part for you. Prerequisites and initial setup Install and setup PS4 Remote Play on your PC. Install AutoHotKey (AHK from now on) - it's a free open-source software for all sorts of automation tasks (just Google it). It's awesome. Optional: Backup your RDR2 save file, just in case. Steps Download the following AHK script and save it somewhere, desktop works fine. * https://www.dropbox.com/s/eacm2fxjwcy41bk/boost.ahk?dl=0 The link above will show you full contents of the script. It's harmless. Start Remote Play on your PC, connect to your PS4 and launch RDR2. Go to any Blackjack table, join the game and wait until you need to place a bet. Double click "boost.ahk" file. It will launch AutoHotKey - you will see green "H" icon in the lower-right clock area. Click on the Remote Play window and press Ctrl+B. Your character should place a bet and the game should start. Once it's your turn, you should see your character asking for "hits" from the dealer. Get 3 wins with 3+ hits. This can take anywhere between 30 minutes to 10 hours so just go chill somewhere. If you want to stop the script, just press Ctrl+B again. You can also suspend/kill the script via "H" icon's right-click menu. Good luck. (Although, with this method you won't actually need it. ) * Full script contents in case the link goes down: Spoiler #MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2 ^b:: Toggle := !Toggle loop { If not Toggle break Send {Enter down} Sleep 20 Send {Enter up} Sleep, 1000 } return Last couple tips The script does require PS4 Remote Play application window to be focused. $4.00 buy in will last you at least ~4 hours of constant playing before you run out of chips. I would suggest leaving the table every couple hours and checking the progress. You might have missed the challenge progress when you were away. It took me personally ~2.5 hours to get all 3 wins. Caveats The script is dumb. For example, if you have 5 cards with a total value of 20, it will still ask for another, which is a terrible move. It will only win if you manage to hit 21 with 5+ cards (or 2-4 but those do not count for the challenge). This means the odds of you winning are even smaller. Nonetheless, because everything is automated it's just a matter of time before you hit 3 times 21 with 5+ cards. Shoutout to @fabmorais_2011 for his original Injustice 2 guide and @QQQ_AX for mentioning turbo controller method for this challenge.

Maverick6146 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 confirm that it is working. I got 2/3 before I went on to do some other chores in game but it is definitely working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing happens when I press CTRL+B In that case you must have either missed one of the steps, e.g. AHK is not running or perhaps your remote play window is not called "PS4 Remote Play"?

leandrorhcp Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Can't believe that's what it was... my Windows is in Spanish so changing the name solved the issue. Thanks once again for your incredible work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant on the script, changed "PS4 Remote Play" to "Uso a distancia de PS4", should work in any other languages I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumsquared Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This is awesome. Thank you so much! Currently have mine up and running right now. Does the script basically just press 'x' all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the script basically just press 'x' all the time? Yep, that's pretty much explained in the first post. Enter key on your keyboard is bound to on your controller. AHK presses the key every second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick6146 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Just got the challenge done this morning. It took about 5 hours (3.5 hours to get first 2, then another 2 hours to get the final one). Thanks to this script, it is 5 hour gaming time saved to have more fun.

XjaegerbombX Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I did this challenge last night in 45 minutes in one go. Several several times i would have "16-18" on my 4th card and needed a 5 or lower & I would bust. Many many times I got blackjack. Dozens of times I doubled up on 16 & won. Two times I hit blackjack on a 5-card hit & once I made a 5-card "20" & beat the dealer's "19". It's all luck based. Dominoes is tougher.

dalailama1989 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Guess I was quite lucky while playing this legit. My first game was directly a three-hit 21! After 12 minutes I got the second. After 44 minutes the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcancooL Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Huge thanks for the advice! I tried it and left, unfortunately the PS4 remote play had a bug after maybe 15 minutes since I had like 3.64$ left... It was in the settings and I couldn't leave it whatever I did... and I haven't got a win yet let's hope it will eventually work out well for me. Edit: Ok I understand what was going on, now my question is about PS4 remote play. it disconnects me automatically after around an hour. is there a way to avoid this? I'd like to do the trick while I'm in bed to finally get this challenge done. Thanks!

I have had session lasting several hours without a disconnect using RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
