Earning Easy Caps : Fallout: New Vegas

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 7:31 pm

I do not know if this has been mentioned by anyone else, I didn't see any in the past couple thread pages. Now this IS NOT a every time win its good money even if you have a little luck.

To sum it up real quick.
1) Go to any casino you feel you win more at, I seem to be pretty lucky at The Tops Casino.
2) Get 200 chips
3) Choose your game I recommend Black Jack or playing the slots.
4) Save your game.
5) Start the game and max bet.
6) Try to win. Duh
7-1) If you WIN then back out of the game, and SAVE.
7-2) If you LOSE then back out and reLOAD your previous save.
8) Repeat

It makes it so you will never lose chips only gain, I know its simple and I just didn't know if it might help. Something I figured out early on and have used it when I'm low on caps or want to buy something. It's a good way to make chips without game cache erasing or worry of patching.

Note: Slots can win you pretty big if you stick with it, I lost twice third time I WON about 1800 chips.

Hope it helped someone who isn't looking at risking data or there rep.

Pretty common but I appreciate the tips.

7-1) If you WIN then back out of the game, and SAVE.
7-2) If you LOSE then back out and reLOAD your previous save.

Or, you know, get a high luck stat.. as luck is now the second best stat in the game after int, and win without cheating. There is a minute cooldown when you load into a casino on games to prevent that, so it isn't really a good use of time.

I was doing that up until they kicked me out of the casinos, I got an achievement and several thousand caps from it.

I've heard that 16k is the limit on casino winnings.

They actually have cheating measures for roulette, when you laod a save you have to wait 50 seconds.

at the gomarrah it is 9000 till your band
tops its like 12 000
and ultra luxe is 16 000

Luck 10
+
Winnings of ~5,000 at the tables
+
Max bets on the slot machines until you jackpot
=
35,000 caps per casino.

I just spent 20-30 minutes in the strip and i'm now almost 80,000 caps richer!

7 luck will allow you to win big at blackjack. 5 base + Implant + Naughty Nightwear = ~40k in a few hours playing.

You do need 10 luck for slots as 7 will only lose chips. Kinda a perk for energy weapon characters.

Honestly that was my thought too. If you're going to cheat the game, why not just go whole hog and use console commands for endless caps?

Lot easier than gambling for hours.

What if you are on console and not on PC?

Honestly, anything higher than 6 after bonuses means, as long as you have enough initial caps to get the ball rolling, you're always going to come out ahead. Assuming you play by the very standard rules of blackjack:

16 or lower, hit
17 or higher, stay

It definitely feels like cheating.

I should mention that the Ultra Luxe doesn't seem to apply as easily. I'd have 8 luck or higher there.

Easiest way to earn caps is playing slots with 6+ luck

and getting jackpot all you need is like 10000 caps your bound to win with 10000 caps well I do anyway won 32000 caps at the casino opposite where house is. Doing this will of course get you banned fast from all. Reloading trick is very common lots of people do this not on this game alone lol.
