Max amount of chips you've ever won?

Post » Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:04 am

Whats the max number of chips you've ever won at any of the casinos? I got lucky today at the gomorrah, edged it slowly up to 8,840 (the caps 9,000) then went max bet and got the oranges. Ended up with 43,000 chips and went and bought all the implants. Also killed all the gomorrah floor guards cause they insulted Arcade.
Also how much does luck have an influence in how much you win?

The first time I tried gambling was with my second character who had a luck of 10. Playing just Blackjack I managed to max out all three casinos on the strip in a little over an hour. I'd say about half the time I got the message that my luck played a role in the game, it certainly was very easy, I'm not terribly familiar with Blackjack and I was still able to win most of the time with little thought or planning.

I've seen other people complain about Blackjack being too difficult, I can't imagine they're worse players than myself so I suspect their characters had much lower Luck.

At 5, you will lose as often as you win. However the house (not Mr House, this is refering to any casino) advantage is that you will lose a little more than you win. I find putting Luck at 7 makes gambling pretty much a sure thing in the long run. You will still lose from time to time, but over all the casinos are easy to bust.

What message is that? Didn't know it told you if your luck had any affect. Yeah I chose not to play blackjack, and stuck with the fruit machines.

Difficult? All you do is mash W untill they kick you out of the casino.

Luck = 5: Gambling is a waste of time.
Luck = 7: Gambling is a way to gradually expand your money, with skill and perseverence.
Luck = 9: Gambling is like getting money for nothing!

My first character had 10 luck and I played the slot machines. Eventually I struck the 150x jackpot and got like 30000 caps. It didnt take long either. >:D

Luck 10. I broke the bank at all the casinos in less than an hour. Split + Double Down = Badass

Walked out of Ultra Luxe once +44k caps. Played blackjack till I was near the limit then switched over to slots to go over. Bit of a gamble within a gamble as it's very possible to win a much smaller payout on the slots and just barely go over the bust limit.

I was always a decent blackjack player in real life, but having luck 10 made things so easy I cried.

17000 sierra madre chips.
I haven't gambled in the regular casinos yet.
Too low luck and too irritating with the minigames.
