    Heya folks,

    There are currently four minigames that give you progress towards this achievement.
    Now I don't know if minigames pop up in different locations depending on the player so I'm just going to point out which minigames there are and where I got them:

    Five Finger Fillet: First spotted in the smaller saloon in Valentine.
    Dominos: First spotted by the stagecoach at Emerald Station.
    Poker: First spotted during the first mission for the Reverend. You will take his place in a game.
    Blackjack: First spotted not long after visiting Rhodes. The big saloon in town has/had a game going on the upper floor.

    Fingers crossed these all spawn in the same locations for you. Please note that you don't need to win the game or a round or anything. Blackjack was obviously my last one and the achievement popped for me more or less as soon as I sat down to play.

    Best of luck folks, if there is anything I can do to improve the solution please do let me know.

    Edit #1: Thanks to a 2rue boofer for pointing out you may need to play five finger fillet with someone to have it unlock. I apologise if this is what you are missing. I remember playing fillet with Lenny but I didn't think it counted.
    Edit #2: There is potentially an opportunity to play dominos with Abigail at the first camp by Valentine. Please take note I only saw this on a stream so I'm not sure how long you have to be at that first camp before it shows up.

    All mini games and mini game locations become available during Chapter 2, after a mandatory game of Poker. An important note is that some game instances are in temporary locations, and some are permanent. The below listed are permanent.

    Playing 1 game of each will unlock the achievement.

    Poker: Mandatory as part of the story; also in the main Saloon in Valentine.
    Five Finger Fillet: Inside of the smaller Saloon in the town of Valentine.
    Dominoes: At the Emerald Station (accessible by train).
    Blackjack: The town of Rhodes (accessible by train), second story of the Saloon.

    StulockHolmesFirst time 5 finger fillet appeared in Valentine the table was empty so I was solo. When I went back there another day there was someone to play against. Might depend on the time of day?

    BL4DEI believe the game you play may need to cost money and be in one of the towns. I had played all the games multiple times and no achievement. I realized most of the times I had done FFF it was in camp or solo so I tried in Van Horn and got the achievement

    netstrykerPersonally I don't like much of some minigames. In case of RDR2, specially blackjack. Dominoes and poker are fun.
