I did the Gomorrah very easily on the roulette, didn't take long at all. Went to the Tops and I just couldn't get the 00 at all so I changed to the other two games but nothing. I impatiently went to the Ultra-Luxe instead where I took quite some time but managed in the end with blackjack. Back at the Tops and it's just impossible to win anything in any of the games... I will get it soon enough (got about 6000 to go), it's just frustrating though...

I have 9 luck and i found that the easiest ( if not the fastest ) way was blackjack. Max bet each time and play it safe if its close. DO NOT MASH DOUBLE DOWN. I found Roulette to be far too frustrating and slots didnt seem worth it although i hit the slots jackpot on my hardcore file ( 10 luck ) and was instantly banned from the tops.

I spent about an hour on the Roulette table in the Gamorrah last night trying to get double 00 and got it once. Got it again today and got banned. That took a little too long for me so when I went too the Tops I tried playing the slots instead and I've been banned within 10 minutes so I'd probably advise the same as the original post but use the slots instead. By the way I did this with a 9 luck stat.

Quickest or the most effortless way?

 

Roulette might be quickest, if not for the fact that you have to re-make the bet each time. Since you have, it's not that easy at all. I'd bet on sets of 4 numbers tho...

 

Blackjack requires active play, thinking when to double or stand. It's pretty slow too.

 

Slots are quite luck dependant, but easiest and requiring minimal input. I watched TV while I kept clicking A, found myself with ~10k wins each time I did that for 10 minutes with 7 luck.

I tried the method above for about twenty minutes (already have the achievement, but I needed the caps) with 9 luck, and I've gotta say, it seems to me that it's honestly much faster to just play blackjack. If you aren't obscenely lucky, you can waste hours doing this without winning a single time.
It is.

 

First off, Blackjack is the only game of the three where some kind of skill comes into play. Not much, but it's there. By contrast, slots and roulette are 100% luck and there is no way around that. You can play smarter and do slightly better at blackjack, but you just have to hope things go your way at slots or roulette.

 

Second, Roulette is just terrible. The odds still suck if you're putting all your chips on any single number (it doesn't have to be 00; all the numbers on the table have the same odds if you just pick one number to put all your chips on), and unlike slots there is no chance you might get some money back even if you don't win big. You either win and get a big pile of chips (unlikely) or lose and get nothing (extremely likely). At least in slots you can get smaller payouts and in blackjack you can tie with the dealer and get your bet back, but in Roulette you either win or lose and chances are very great that you will lose.

 

Finally, I don't know if this bothered anyone else, but when I was trying the awful roulette strategy after seeing that video from the OP on the Fallout Wiki, it really pissed me the hell off that I had to keep putting my bet back to the max every damn time I wanted to place a new bet, and it doesn't even have a "max bet" button like Blackjack and (I think) slots do. So in addition to all the time you will waste losing, loading, and waiting to play again, you get to waste even more time increasing your bet each turn.

 

Personally I played Blackjack until I was quite close to being kicked out, then went over to slots until I got a big payoff to take Tops and Gomorrah for all they could give me (no slots at Ultra-Luxe :( ).

 

If you want to get kicked out faster, play Blackjack (you can get all the bonuses from the casino this way) or Slots (get kicked after one big payoff, but you will lose your shot at getting the other bonuses). If you want to spend some time banging your head against a wall, go play Roulette.

 

tl;dr: Fuck Roulette.

Quick question. When going for this achievement do i ever have to cash out? or can i keep playing and cashing out doesn't matter?

 

 

Cash out is an achievement in the DLC Dead Money, you can beat the DLC with cash out instead of Safety deposit box. It just ends it alittle differently. Cash out has nothing to do with actual gambling in New Vegas.

yeah you should still get the rewards, it stops you playing and someone will run up to you to tell you about the reward, also, let it happen because if you carry one playing to get banned without accepting the rewards it could glitch you out of the cheevo(i think):)

 

Just wanted to point out to anyone that hasn't got this... you WILL NOT get the comps if you hit it in one shot. I know. I did it that way on slots and got nothing. Could have just been me, but that was how it happened.

 

Also, at the tops and gommorah I believe... the pit boss is retarded and takes forever to get to you, (crappy pathing FTW) so you need to wait around until he does. IF you step out of the casino without talking to the pit boss, then you are banned, but no cheev!

Hi I'm stuck with the Ultra luxe it seems blackjack is best but honestly I don't get it can someone help me please I just want the achievement outta the way i'm not a gambling person :/

 

 

Get your luck as high as possible and follow the blackjack guide on this thread I believe. With a luck of 9 or 10 it's a cakewalk. Even if you are stupid with gambling. If your luck is lower, you may want to re roll a new character and just rush to the casino. (The hardcore mode in under 3 hours will give you the way to do that)

stick with blackjack I think it is the easiest way.. make sure that you have at least a 7 if not higher..... I doubled down on most hands and a lot of the times you would hit 21 so if you do have a 9 or 10 it won't take long.... if you are below a 6 get the implants or do the perk or training and get it higher because if you have a low luck it will be hard......
