Is there a casino/luck bug i dont know about?

Post » Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:49 pm

With 7+ luck ive always cleared casinos in like ... 10 minutes. Breaking the bank very fast with slot machines.

Its been a while since i played but i now have 8 in luck. THing is Ive lost my 2000 credits on slotmachines (200bet) three times and played for hours without breaking the bank.

Is there a major luck or casino bug I dont know about? Ive gone the goodsprings->Casino-> implants route 3-4 times before and this has never happened.

It's a casino, meaning that nothing is guaranteed even if you have 10 Luck. I've never really had any major problems clearing casinos, though I would suggest playing Blackjack instead of Slots. The last patch severely neutered the max amount you can win from them, so its easier to just play cards.

With 10 Luck (Maximum crits for Energy weapons is why I have 10 Luck) you'll start to notice the "winning" pattern and know exactly when to hit, stay, split, double down, etc with what I'd consider a 9 out of 10 accuracy rate. My preferred method is playing Blackjack all the way up until I'm just about to hit the ban limit and then I switch to slots. Worst case scenario, I hit the ban limit on the dot, best case scenario which happens FREQUENTLY with 10 Luck as long as you're patient, I hit the maximum payout and leave the casino with nearly 2x the ban limit.

Shame the Ultraluxe doesn't have slots.

I used to break the bank at a decent rate with 6 Luck and now I rarely even get any caps with 10. They must have patched it.

I'd say it's amix of they patched abug and chance.

Chance does play a part in it, nothing is garanteed.
