Gun/Side missions

Along his path, Colton will encounter a variety of side missions in the West. He can earn money by helping out farmers, assisting the local sheriff, keeping regular folk out of harm's way, and even hiding a card up his sleeve and playing some Hold 'Em. Side missions are also vital in upgrading Colton's skills. The side missions are listed below and come up in random places on Colton's journey.

Ranching
Earn some money and hone your horse-riding skills by helping local farmers corall up their livestock.

Mining
The West was built on opportunity, dreams and gold. In your travels, you may come across gold no one else has found. Make sure you have a pickaxe handy, or that nugget you see may be nothing but Fool's Gold.

Texas Hold 'Em
You can work for your money, or you can just win it from the local gamblers in the saloon. Out-bluff your competition in a Texas Hold 'Em tournament. Play your cards right, and you'll come up all Aces.

All you need to do it take chips from the other people on the table, there are 500 chips in all and four other people it's easy once you get the hang of it. The first three poker tournaments take place in Dodge's Alhambra and the other three take place in Hoodoo's house (or is that the majors house) in Empire. Do the missions as early as you can so you can't lose money but you can win it big time, $50 plus now that's a lot.

Keep the Peace
Every sheriff in the west could use an extra hand. Help out the local deputies by stopping trouble before it starts and flushing out the bad guys in each town.
