It is an open-world masterpiece of its time, with a great story and fun side missions, which is why people always go back to the world of the original game even after the highly anticipated release of its sequel.

Some of them just want to roam the wild and find easter eggs, while the others want to hunt down the platinum trophy that they so much desire. Either way, players will come across the infamous mini-games of Red Dead Redemption. Whether it is during a casual stroll or while hunting the trophies, and here are some tips that should help.

6 Poker

Poker is one of the most famous and oldest card games ever, so it is evident that this little mini-game makes an appearance in the Red Dead Redemption. But how does the in-game version works and compare to the real-life counterpart? Well, it is pretty much similar except in real life, there are no little tricks to help one win the round. However, in a video game, there are a few small ways to get a bit of an advantage.

To achieve the Poker completion status, the players have to be the last man standing. For this, it is better to start when there are low players on the table. First, save the game just in case, so it can be reloaded from the last checkpoint if lost. When starting, make sure you have a top pair in the hands. If not, keep folding or replaying. Bluffing is entirely pointless, so avoid that and instead focus onto building big.

5 Blackjack

Blackjack would always be a lot simpler compared to Poker. On the bonus side, this actually doesn't require a player to win the whole game. Instead, players just have to leave the table with more money than they came in with if they want to go one step closer to the platinum trophy.

There is no single trick or simple formula for winning this game. But there are a few tips that can help. First, make sure the betting game is at the minimum. Second, play sharp and wait for the moment when the chips are more than the first chips. Then leave the table, the game will consider it a win and it's really that simple.

4 Five Finger Fillet

Everyone has done this with at least one object or another, but the game got famous in the era of Red Dead Redemption. Five Finger Fillet is all about taking a knife and being the fastest without injuring yourself.

This is a pattern based game, which means it is a lot easier to master than the others. This is like remembering a cheat code or fatality and then being the quickest to use it. Use this helpful wiki of the game to understand the patterns for both 360 and PS3 versions.

3 Horseshoes

Horseshoes is a very western game, and that is why it belongs in the Red Dead Redemption. It is ultimately an aiming based game. Hence there are no specific tricks to win at this one. All the players need to do is understand the controls and a couple of rules that the game doesn't explain well.

Try to use the left trigger to aim for the middle of the target, and then use the right analog stick to swing the horseshoe and press the right trigger to stop the meter in the middle. One tip, do not turn the arm too much.

2 Liars Dice

This is a little more complicated than Poker, as it wants players to predict a random dice outcome. So there is no specific pattern or trick here, just a few tips to make sure you're the last man standing. First, a similar technique can be used here to tackle only one player on the table, as it is easier to beat one.

Second, in case there is more than one player on the table, it is best to start with a small bid. Make the computer players play against each other by being honest and staying low. Eventually, the AI will start knocking each other out, while the player will be left with more dice.

1 Arm Wrestling

Arm wrestling has been there in many games, and it is one of the easiest ones in Red Dead Redemption. This is a button-mashing game, where players will have to press A or X based on their platform and force the opponent's hand to the table.

Playing this is easy, as all that is needed is an eye to see when the opponent is tired. Once tired, mash the button, so force them down. A special attack is available when the strength is at maximum, and it can be used by pressing Y or Triangle.
