I dropped my last cooked fish into the lava and felt my heart hitch. Nineteen spins later I watched one green pocket swallow my bet and explode my stack into six figures. You can do the same — if you like taking a perfectly measured gamble.
I’ve chased the Rich! Millionaire achievement across islands, casinos, and a volcano, and I’ll walk you through the exact path I used. You’ll need the right lure, the right raw fish value, and a willingness to press your luck at the roulette like a lottery ticket. Read slowly; each step stacks toward that $100,000 (€92,000) target.
On the fourth island you can buy the Scientific Lure — how to sell a fish for $100,000 in How to Fish
When you reach the island with the volcano, its shop offers the Scientific Lure. That single purchase changes what your fishing haul is capable of.
Here’s the shortened recipe I used:
- Travel to the fourth island (the volcanic region) and buy the Scientific Lure.
- Target fish with a raw value of at least $1,906 (≈ €1,754). Cooked in lava they get a 1.5x multiplier, which raises them to roughly $2,858 (≈ €2,629).
- Take your cooked fish to the roulette table and place it on Green. Green pays 35x — win once and your bet exceeds $100,000 (≈ €92,000), letting you sell and claim the Rich! Millionaire achievement.
How do I hit the $100,000 target without wasting lures?
You don’t need a single absurd-value fish — you need the multiplier and the roulette. If a live catch is below $1,906, sell it immediately to restock lures and try again. Holding low-value fish is wasted inventory space; treat bad hauls like loose change.
Most roulette wheels give you small wins — why the Green is brutal and how to beat it
At the table, Red and Black have many pockets; Green has only one. That single-chamber gamble is where the payout lives and where patience pays off.
Winning on Green is infuriatingly rare. It took me 19 tries; a friend hit it after 30. The game’s odds make Green feel like a razor’s edge — one tiny win balances dozens of losses.
Is winning on Green purely luck?
Almost. There’s no visible mechanic to rig the wheel; Green is a pure probability play. You can increase attempts by carrying more cooked fish — empty inventory slots mean more bets per trip to the table. That’s the only practical strategy beyond patience.
There’s a bonus: winning on Green for the first time also grants the All In achievement, so the pain of repeated spins has a payoff beyond cash.
The fishing grind is tedious in small ways — practical tips to reduce frustration
I spent hours chasing the right raw values; simple habits cut that time in half.
- Buy the Scientific Lure as soon as you hit the volcano island — it changes average catch values.
- Prioritize fishing spots known to spawn higher-value species; community guides on Steam and threads on Reddit can point you to spawn data.
- Keep your inventory clear. More empty slots equals more cooked bets when you hit the table.
- If you’re risk-averse, farm lures by selling sub-$1,906 fish before attempting Green.
I cited Moyens I/O screenshots because visual proof keeps this guide practical; players on Steam and Discord have mirrored these mechanics. This method doesn’t break the game — it plays the odds in your favor.
You’ll walk away with a six-figure sale or a stack of “next time” stories — which are you aiming for?
