ghost2112 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This was one of the easier achievements thus far, and probably the quickest 34,000 caps I've ever made in a fallout game. Luck of 6 + Naughty Nightwear + Blackjack = and easy 30g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Diplomacy Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I just did the blackjack... took some time, but it is the one where u can use a little strategy, so no complete luck with that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJonan Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipintonite Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 truly down to luck, appreciate the idea though. tried for 30 mins and nothing. switched over to "0" due to the fact that i saw it land there several times..beat all three casinos in about 15 mins? like i said, great idea but lady luck still has to be on your side.

greenpotato5 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 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.

a hippyslayer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 With 9 luck it took me about half an hour playing black jack to do it. And most of that time was at the Luxe before I figured out to double down every hand I didnt stay with. Pretty easy if you want to waste perks on luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebonix Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho M. Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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.

Emperor Dano Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'll have to try this out, i spent an hour one day trying to do it but failed over and over. I think my real life luck out wieghed my ingame one x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima7625 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The key is your Luck. You can get the Luck Implant, the Naughty Nightwear, and the Lucky Shades and there's +3 Luck already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc0961 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoKuS773 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusetofuse Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Best method is in the Ultra-Luxe do roulette, the other two do slots, and save every big win, or ever couple little ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusetofuse Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Reaper Guy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah, i made a new character, leveling and got 10 luck then hit the slot machines. Seemed the easier way then playing Roulette, game was too slow for my liking. But thanks for the guide. Very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxHamRxX Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Am I screwed? In the Gomorrah as soon as I go in everyone was hostile towards me. I failed the mission you do in there (got sick of going around so just killed troike lol). Does that mean I cant win or am I able to get Gomorrah chips off Gamblers?

Pandoras Virus Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 more than likely. You'll have to go back to a save that you didn't kill everyone and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright3034 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) what casinos do you have to get banned from? gomorrah, ultra luxe, and tops? edit: i was right, those are the three. probably should have looked around but im feelin lazy today Edited February 20, 2011 by wright3034 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimfel Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge0fD1v1n1ty Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 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 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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......
