I've been playing Dead Money, and read that in order to receive vouchers and access the vending machine after exiting the player needs to win 7,500 chips at the Sierra Madre Casino.

My luck is 2, so I lose quite a bit of games. Sometimes even when my character won some hands at the Wrangler, it would still take my money and say 'you feel unlucky.' Almost shot the dealer on principle the first time that happened!

Anyway I was wondering if yall could tell me exactly how this count works. Do I need to be UP 7,500, as in have net earnings reach that point (say 9,000 won and 1,500 lost -> 7,500 net). Or do I simply have to win 7,500 chips over time (say 7,500 won and 10,000 lost -> -2,500 net but the target count was reached).

With 2 luck I will undoubtedly lose more than I earn, making this task impossible for me if it's net winnings, but possible if it's just a win counter (by converting weapons and stuff -> hologram vendor pre-war money -> chips).

Yes

Tyvm! That has helped a lot in my thinking (no chance vs possible). I was thinking with the grand opening radio signal, that I was unlucky to be caught but I could be a high roller.

I've spent like 5 hours on this DLC and not even gotten to the casino yet xD The brown and red mix, with the sporadic ground textures have made it hard for me to see what's on the screen so I'm doing save / load games a lot to role play. It's like my IRL vision is reduced to what I can focus on in a LCD 1080p monitor with MagicColor, then bam I'm walking into death via a grenade bouquet guarding some turpentine. I've been trying to use the ghost elixir , but would die for a flashlight or the ability to turn one of the holograms into divergent light (save/load some to see if Christine can turn my pipboy light into a flashlight instead of lightbulb lol say if I hold F for Flashlight it will lower all my pip-boy access for hours).

Can't wait to get back home to Novac... but first I gotta gather these dudes for a heist... Is this why I could never find the 9th letter to home when I played Forlorn Hope vs Nipton? Were there actually tonnes of bodies there that would cause game crashes for Xbox players, or does the note not exist because I haven't written it yet?
