For more information on the mod, checkout the Witcher Kings wiki page. The Dice Poker mini-game from the Witcher video games has been integrated to the mod! It started as a technical challenge more than a year ago, and few implementation struggles later, it became a multiplayer-compatbile targeted decision and event chain! DEFAULT for Dice Poker is: 3 rounds, low bets, Unfair AI (the farther you progress, the more the odds are stacked against you rolling good combos and the more the AI will roll good combos). Therefor, dice poker must be edited to make it more fair. = dumbest achievement in gaming history!!! I really can't figure out what's going on with this one. I've been playing poker dice (and I'm on my second play through) and have yet to get this achievement. Last night I did an experiment, I played for several hours and didn't get 5 of a kind once.

ID | q2202_signs |
Dice Poker: The Professional is an optional sub-quest of A Game of Dice. It is spawned once Geralt has beaten four novice players. The stakes are higher, but so are the takings.
Beat the professionals one by one as you meet them during your journeys. The quest ends when you have beaten four professionals. You can then approach the first Sharper level player — at the same time, the Dice Poker: The Sharper quest is started.
You only have to best four out of a possible eight professional players, so your journal entries may not include all the entries you see below, nor will the phases you do see necessarily be in the same order as seen here.
Note: The 200 XP increments listed below are only earned for the first four players, whichever four Geralt plays and wins against first. The rest are listed for information purposes.
Professionals do not play with novices. I must concentrate on weaker opponents. I will not play with professionals as long as I am a novice.
I'm doing good with poker and after a conversation with Zoltan I decided it's time to become a professional. The rules are simple — if I win against four professionals I will be recognized as one of them. Time to find them. To become a professional poker player I must win against four other professional players.
Munro, a friend of Zoltan, is a professional poker player. I wonder if he is as good as they say? I can play poker with Munro.
I beat Munro. I will look for another professional. I will look for another professional. (200 XP)
Thaler sometimes arranges meetings of poker players in the back room of his shop. He is a professional and I want to challenge him. I can play poker with Thaler.
Thaler has a good poker face but he was no match for my look. I beat him and I want to challenge someone better. I beat Thaler. It's time to play with another professional. (200 XP)
It turned out that apart from plotting, Roderick, the count of Wett, likes to roll some dice. He's a professional. May the better man win. I can play poker with Count de Wett.
Maybe De Wett knows his way around politics but he knows nothing of poker. Next, please. I beat Count de Wett. I'm going to look for another professional. (200 XP)
The burgomeister also has a hobby. He plays poker professionally. They say it's his way of relaxing. I wonder how good he is. I can play poker with Velerad.
I beat Velerad. He suffered defeat with dignity. I will look for another opponent. I beat Velerad. I will look for another professional. (200 XP)
It turns out that the hierophant plays poker. He's a professional. Let's see how good he is. I can play poker with the hierophant.

Tobias Hoffman plays poker professionally. Maybe we can play some day. I can play poker with Tobias Hofmann.
I beat the alderman. It seems that this idyllic village is no match for city experience. I will look for another opponent. I beat Hofmann. I will look for another professional. (200 XP)
Julian the merchant is a worldly man. They say he plays poker pretty well. Maybe we will play some day. I can play poker with Julian.
I beat Julian. I will look for another opponent. I beat Julian. I will look for another opponent. (200 XP)
It seems that the hermit was unable to completely resist mundane temptations. He lives on water, roots and poker. Let's see if he's any good. I can play poker with the hermit.
The hermit is out of shape and I managed to beat him. I will look for another opponent. I beat the hermit. I will look for another professional. (200 XP)
I beat four professional players and I joined their ranks. Zoltan will be stunned. I'm a professional. It's time for greater challenges. (1000 XP)
