Best method to obtained "The Courier Who Broke The Bank"

The OP's method was excellent. I had 6 luck +1 for the naughty nightwear and went into each casino and played the 00 on roullette until I got banned at each. It really did only take about 30 minutes or so average at each one. To be honest, the one that took the longest was the Gomorrah which has the least amount of chips to be banned. Thanks a lot for this!

Gotta say, as far as 'methods' go, this one is garbage. Thanks for the suggestion and all, but unless your luck is high, it's a total waste of time, it's only real life luck that will get you these wins.

 

Frankly you'd be far better starting a new game on easy, setting luck to 10 then heading straight to freeside and loading up on caps playing in Atomic wrangler, buying your way onto the strip, and then just playing a few hands of blackjack or slots.

10 luck and still no 00s after 100 tries. Fuck this I'll try the slots now.

 

With 10 Luck you should do black jack - you can't lose - I got banned from all casinos within 30 mins. It is also much faster then Roulette (ball spinning) and Slots.

 

Double Down in Blackjack with 10 luck when you got an ace or a 10 is a guaranteed win for double caps.

 

I admit I tried the get a hit on 00 - but it never worked after 20 tries - maybe if you try 0 and 00 you get a better chance.

I had 5 luck...

  • used the intense training perk for a +1 luck
  • spent 4000 caps for the +1 luck enhancement at the clinic
  • bought and wore the naughty nightwear from mick and Ralf's for +1 luck

 

this gave me 8 luck...

 

I just played black jack like this:

 

  • get 1000 chips for 1000 caps from the cashier and save your game
  • play black jack maximum bet (if it's less than 17 hit, if it's over 17 stay, if it's 17 use your judgment based on what the dealer is showing).
  • once you've got ~3500 chips in your pot, leave the table, go to the cashier and trade all your chips for cash.
  • repeat until you get kicked out by the pit boss, then cash out one last time and go to the next casino.

 

it took me about 20-30 minutes at each casino to make enough to get booted.

 

Gmorrah and Topps will kick you out around 10,000 caps, Ultra Luxe will kick you out around 15,000 caps. I did them in that order and it took just under an hour and a half, it was pretty fun too because, well, I was actually playing a game.

 

---

 

My "plan" was to only play with 1000 chips at a time and if I lost all 1000 I'd just re-load the save but I never once got down to 0 chips.

 

I'd probably lose 1 out of every 3 or 4 hands but overall but of all 3 casinos I never even came close to losing all my chips and having to reload a save.

Took about 40ish minutes for me, 6 Luck (I think) plus my naughty nightwear. Did the Gomorrah and Tops in like 15 minutes, and won twice at the Luxe within like 5 minutes, but then was stuck for like 20+ on my final win to get over 15k. Was getting so annoyed. Just so glad to be done this achievement (and being up like 50k caps doesn't hurt).

Yeah I did slots and got jackpot very quickly. Then blackjack in the casino that didn't have slots and your right it's pretty much impossible to lose.

Ha! 14,800/15,000 at ultra-Luxe! I'm off to play one game of Blackjack and then I'm going on a shooting spree! I swear Luxe's roulette tables are rigged.

 

Thanks for the post btw

Okay...maybe not. So I hit 14,800 at Ultra Luxe (already got kicked from Gomorrah and The Tops) and even if I win 200 more chips at roulette or blackjack the floor manager doesn't approach me. What the hell? I followed the instructions in this thread to the letter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

...Just played some more roulette to see if I needed to win another jackpot to trigger the floor manager. Won an extra 7k chips, current total 16,600. Still nothing. :(

 

Note: Well this is embarrassing! I was looking at my chip total and completely disregarded the "Casino earnings" id est; my earnings. Oops! Turns out I was only a couple thousand shy of the 15k goal. Please disregard my plea for help. And thanks again for the useful post.

Honestly, it didn't take me long with slots alone until the Ultra Luxe, where I resorted to Roulette.This took a ridiculous amount of time even disregarding the increased limit, and my luck was ~7. Roulette takes forever. You have to raise your bet back to max each time - you waste half your time pressing right trigger. I would coast on slots until the Ultra Luxe and from there do either Black Jack or Roulette.

Anyone that thinks this is glitched... its not. When u r betting and are interrupted by the casino - before you are banned - don't skips this scene. You need to receive the presents that the casino gives you for doing well. If you skip these scenes you wont get the achievement.

I am in the same situation as you. I'm about 80 hours into my Hardcore playthrough and I accidentally killed the cashiers in Luxe ages ago when a fight started after I got caught stealing something. Never thought that would come back to bite me in the ass...

 

Does anyone know if the cashiers respawn? I'm thinking probably not :(

I only have the Ulta Lux casino left but the cashier is dead on the floor, anybody know if the cashier will respawn back sometime or am i knackered to get the achievement in this playthrough now seeing as i can't buy the chips?

 

Sorry for double post... I meant to quote Seddo..

Thanks for the tips on getting this achievements but I have one concern. Can being banned from all the casinos ruin my later gameplay experience, i.e. I may need to do something in any casino but I can't enter it or so? Or is being banned from the casino only mean that you can't play any games?

You are only banned from gambling at the tables and the slots. You can still go into the casinos and talk to people, buy drinks and "services" etc. It doesn't have any implication on your playthrough regarding quests etc. It just means you can't gamble at the tables and slots anymore.

Nevermind

I had 5 base Luck

+2 from nightwear and implant

Total of 7

Did Tops 1st

Gorgomoh 2nd

Ultra Luxe 3rd

Blackjack

press X max bet of 200

Double Down every time

If you win 400 chips then press B leave and save

If you lose alot of caps then just load the previous save with you at the table

 

I dont know how long it took me but i did it in one night, maybe a max of 2-3 hours, but it was my last achievement so i was having fun and it wasnt boring at all 1000/1000 New Vegas, bring on the DLC
