Arrrrrgh, how does one get 3 swords?

[LillyKay]

I do not seem to be able to get the 3 sword for the gambler achievement however much I try. I frequently get 3 of all the other things and 2 swords but never three. HELP!

[JVC]

It wasn't too long ago that someone wrote on the discord that this achievement doesn't trigger. Can anyone verify if it actually works?

[LillyKay]

Oh gosh, no worries. I stayed at the slot machine until I got 3 swords and it did trigger the gambler achievement!

Was their a particular item you were looking for before triggering the stop button? IE, if I waited until the lemonade was near the bottom of the spinner, then triggered stop, I could hit 3 cupcakes? quite a bit.

I got fed up trying to time certain items. I kept getting all sorts of matched items but mainly the fruit tarts and lemonade – interestingly the sword is between those two.

Once I got fed up I started gambling 50 Gols - initially waiting for the stop button to flash twice (not timing any item at all) then pressing the stop button every time it flashed after that. I noticed it seems timed. I just kept following that pattern and suddenly the swords appeared randomly and very quickly - not like when other items match up. They tended to take time settling in the final slot.

I hope this makes sense.

Fruit tarts - that's what they were, not cupcakes.

Yeah, it makes sense. Didn't even think of trying it way, thanks.

Hehehe, no worries. I often refer to them as cupcakes too and you are welcome.

I have tried that pattern again since I posted above and have got 3 swords 3 more times. I am now laughing looking at all the stuff I can buy without having to shoot balloons forever!

Good lord, gonna try that sometime :D

Apparently, you need to try 100 times to trigger the achievement and you'll get the achievement during the 101th attempt. You can spam the stop button or 1 sec interval between each press. You only need to get 3 swords once, not twice. Once you think you had once enough golds, you can simply reload. All the best!

Got it on the first time having 3 swords, if you're here for "how to get 3 swords" just keep at it, I had around 200-250 attempts

Just wait until you have a boat load of cash in the game, grab an alcoholic beverage and mash the spin button. Don't look at whats on the pictures and try to time it just mash that button over and over and before you know it, 3 swords!!

That's what i do......Probably drink too much while trying as well....

I used a mouse recorder and just let it run for a while. (achievement still bugged though, I think you need to get it 3 times for it to pop)

NOT GONNA LIE... JUST GRABBED A BEER AND WENT AT IT AND GOT IT WITHIN TWO MINUTES.

I just spent one hour trying this and spent like 7000 coins... finally I got the three swords and nothing happened D: D: D: D: D: this is bugged or I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Someone commented before that you have to try more than 100 times, well.. I didn't count how many times I tried, but pretty sure I'd bet it was more than 100. Anyway, disappointed with this after trying so hard to get this achievement specificly...
