Ghost of Yotei Zeni Hajiki is Sucker Punch’s take on the gambling mini-game, styled to suit Atsu’s vengeful romp through 1600s Ezo. The basic gist is that you need to flick a coin across a table to hit another coin without touching any others. This may sound simple on the surface, but there’s a knack to this game that could make or break your coin purse. 

Aside from being a distraction from the main story, it’s one of the best ways to make money and earn Charms to boost Atsu’s fighting chops further. While the game does a good enough job of walking you through the basics, systematically winning at Ghost of Yotei Zeni Hajiki is a little trickier. We’ll walk you through how to win at Zeni Hajiki every time.

Ghost of Yotei Zeni Hajiki basics

In Ghost of Yotei Zeni Haijiki, you need to flick a coin using the R2 button and hit another coin without touching any other coins. If you touch more than one coin with a flick, it’s the opponent’s turn. If you flick any coins off the table, you’ll lose your go and your opponent will score a point. 

To win, you’ll need to flick and touch six coins as indicated by the gauge at the top of the screen. The R2 trigger is weighed: the more you press down, the harder the coin will flick. The aim is to find the perfect amount of force to hit a coin and have some control over where the flicked coin lands to set you up for the next flick.

Ghost of Yotei Zeni Hajiki strategy and tips

Before your first Ghost of Yotei Zeni Hajiki flick, try to plan a full route to get the six coins required to win. Doing so will ensure you avoid any unpleasant surprises and won’t be caught off guard by the obstacle cups that appear on the table. 

When you start a game, you get to choose which coin to begin with. Focus on those on the outer edges of the table so that you’re flicking towards the center of the table. This should reduce the risk of flicking coins off the table.

When using Shot Display Power, aim to press down on R2 so that the circle indicator touches the edge of the coin you’re trying to touch. The idea here is that the coin will touch, but won’t travel too much further, allowing you to strategize your next move ahead of time.

For coins that are very close together, barely touching the R2 button is the key to success. It’s very easy to put too much force into the flick, so be sparing when deciding how much power to use. Losing your go in Ghost of Yotei Zeni Hajiki usually leads to a loss, making this even more critical.
