Poker is an essential part of Far Cry 3. There are references of it scattered everywhere, from the items you 💰 pick up, to the side quests you complete, to the multiple poker games sprinkled throughout the world, to even being 💰 incorporated into the main story line. In order to unlock the Poker mini-game, you’ll have to liberate the Valsa Docks 💰 Outpost. There are five poker locations total, three on the north island and two on the south island. The names 💰 of the closest towns to those poker mini-games are the Valsa Docks, Northview Gas, Badtown, Thurston Town and Bridge Control.
The 💰 game itself is basically a no-limit Texas Hold’Em game that would be similar to aR$2/$4 game at Binion’s in Downtown 💰 Las Vegas. If you’re looking for a replacement for online poker, this isn’t it. Far Cry 3 poker games are 💰 much slower, use different procedures, they have poor A.I. for the other players and the game only gives out fake 💰 money.
As soon as you sit down on the table, the game will start. The object of the game is to 💰 make the highest five card poker ranking than all of the other players. This game uses traditional poker hand rankings, 💰 where the best hand a player can get is a Royal Flush while the worst hand they can get is 💰 High Card. You’ll do this by using the 5 community cards that are on the board plus the two cards 💰 that were dealt to you at the beginning of the game.
Even though Poker plays an important part of the game, 💰 you never have to worry about being a good poker player in order to advance the story. Usually, during the 💰 main story line, one of three things will happen. One, either the game will give you a high hand that’ll 💰 make it easy to win a game, or two, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose because the outcome 💰 will be the same, or three, at the beginning of the poker game there will be a cut scene and 💰 you won’t have a choice about what happens. You can receive the Poker Bully Achievement if you makeR$1,500 or more 💰 while playing poker. One way this is possible is by completing the side quest “Father’s Burden” which can be found 💰 in Thurston Town on the southern island.
