First off in order to get the money either play a lot of TIR or use this method:

Find the three gambling magazines.
Gambling 1 is in Royal Flush Plaza 2nd floor Ragazines
Gambling 2 is in Palisades Mall Stans Large Print Books & Magazines
Gambling 3 is in Shamrock Casino on the strip

Go to the Slot ranch casino and find the Giant Slot machine near the entrance to the food court. Keep betting the max amount ($1000). with the magazines you should win every 3 or so tries. You should be able to get $2mil+ every half hour or so.

Now you have the money the most efficient way to spend it all is by buying the vehicle keys and knight boots which all cost several million bucks.

Steps to get "400k every few seconds"
Quick description; The bargaining book gives you 10% off of your purchase, so if you have 12 of them you receive money(20% or price) when purchasing things instead of spending it. If you use this with the SUV Key then you will get $400 000(20% of the original cost being 2 million) every few seconds.

***Requires you to be high enough level to have 11 or 12 inventory slots***

1. Invite a friend with the bargaining book in his inventory. (he must be in his own campaign game when he receives the invite/joins so he carries his inventory over.)


2. When your friend is in the game, let him drop the magazine and pick it up for yourself.
Credit goes to dannynu13 from achievements.org

3. now your friend needs to leave the game.

4. repeat this until your inventory is full with bargaining magazines.

5. Go and "buy" the SUV, each button press will give you 400k

6. Once you get enough money, drop the books and buy the SUV key 3 times.

Locations of bargaining magazines;
AMERICANA CASINO
Location - balcony where Zombrex is located by hopping across the lights from the BBQ restaurant

FOOD COURT
Location - catwalk above Speedy espresso, use vending machines by Lomardi's to get up there

I found that if you mix both of these guy's solutions it makes it a little easier. I joined a game with a friend who had the 3 gambling magazines and I did as well, I gave him the 3 I had and he continued to play the big 777 game. We both got the winnings he earned playing the game and we seemed to hit 100,000 a lot faster then when we did it alone...just another way to do it, enjoy.

Ok obviously as of now I currently do not have this achievement but I am working on it just thought I would throw this out there.

**This is just something you can do if the "Max Bet" thing by the food court in the Slot Ranch Casino isn't working out for you. Or if you wanna try this out instead of TIR.

*Before you start this you MUST have all 3 gambling books locations for these are:

1. Royal Flush Casino 2nd floor "Ragaziens"
2. Paradise Mall 2nd floor "Stan's Large Book's & Mags"
3. The Strip "Shamrock Casino"

So this is what I found out seeing as the big slot machine that gives you alot when you win on the max bet. I decided to go to the cheap slots and see what I could get from them. What I found was each and every slot machine with money in front of it is what i'll call "Hot" you only need $100 bucks to gamble at them and the pay out is anywhere from $7,500 to $15,000 depending on which one your messing with. The only down fall to this is you have to play the slot 5 times then move to the next one, but I found I made more money doing this then betting $1k on the big slot and only winning every 1/10 times.

This works with ALL the slot machines you see as long as there is money in front of it your bound to get at least $7,500 for playing 5 times. If theres no money in front of it then don't bother with it as you'll just waste $100.

NOTE : You can also destroy all the ATM's you find in the game each one spits out $2,500 and they restore after you leave the building.

Hope this helps.

I just wanted to add that you don't have to spend all 6 million in one play though. You can restart the story as many times as you want. It accumulates how much you spend.

I vouch for the three gambling books + the big slot machine in the slot ranch casino. It works. If you're struggling with zombies, what I did was drive the sports car into the slot ranch casino park it to the right of the big slot machine to deter zombies from hitting you from the right side while you're gambling. I also had Snowflake with me, so I set a waypoint for her right behind me and she killed pretty much any stray zombie that tried to come up from behind me.

Also, if you create a "Hacker" by combining a flashlight and a computer case, you can get $10,000 for each ATM that destroy using it's heavy attack. The downside Is that a heavy attack uses up 25% of the Hacker durability, but the $40,000 you get in return makes it a small price to pay.

Pick up the Bargaining Magazine 1 in Americana Casino, roof of small north eastern room - jump across hanging lights from upper floor of Jack's BBQ Shack and the Bargaining 2 is found on top of Speedy Expresso in the Food Court and do the Duplication Glitch (better do this with 12 slot inventory in level 50) and when you buy the SUV key in silver strip,you earn $400.000.You can buy as many keys you want

This may be a slow solution but definitely worth it without really glitching or anything. For me as well the slot machine in slot ranch casino hardly ever worked for me.


Grab the three gambling books

Gambling 1 : Fortune City Mall (Book Store)
Gambling 2 : Palisades Mall (Book Store)
Gambling 3 : Shamrock Casino (SUV parked there)

When you see Hunger Pains mission come up there will be three survivors in the Atlantica Casino. They are in the largest room with the camera equipment set-up for the poker tournament. It's a buy in of 100k. Well worth it, since after you win with all three books you yourself end up making 1,000,000 dollars. After the game is over. If you're with a friend you split the pot 50/50.
