Get rid of the Casino Winning Limit?

One of the most annoying things to me is when a game doesn't allow you to play how you want to play it. In the casinos you can only win around 7500 before they cut you off from gambling there for the rest of the game.

I play the same savings for a very long time and one of my favorite things to do is use the caps I worked for to gamble. When you play the same savings for a long time, that 7500 winning limit becomes an issue. I think it would make for a much better gaming experience if we were allowed to play how we want.

What do you think?

Lose some matches. I really hate to say that "gimping yourself" is the only solution, but to this system, it is. Unless there's a mod I don't know about.

You likely have a pretty insane amount of LCK if you've gotten to the 7500 mark without losing a good amount of matches and dropping back down, so, next time around, consider rolling with lower LCK. Or don't play so much Blackjack. I've found that Roulette is quite a bit harder to win.

There's still "Caravan" to play with most of the vendors in the wasteland.

I don't want to have to lose matches to enjoy my game. Then I still won't be playing the game how I want. I'm about getting to the top in my games and that should be allowed.

The winning limits were put in for the obvious reason - to keep players from exploiting the casinos as an infinite source of caps. Besides, in a real-life casino, if you win too much from them, they'll assume you're cheating somehow and ban you from the place as well.

Another way to look at it is if you gamble long enough, with no luck stat to influence the outcome of the games, you will eventually lose. That's due to the "house edge", and that's what keeps casinos in business.

If you're on PC there are mods like http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/35135/?.
