Vikki and Vance casino ban limit is 2,500 chips

but it's possible to win 32,000 chips there if you get three oranges on slots (160:1 payout).

I'm sorry Tale I don't think I am understanding this post quite right. Are you talking about real world or game? Obviously in the real world if you win over 100k in an hour playing 21 all at one table in real world Vegas they are gonna flip their little mafia wigs. The game just has a total life time winnings counter per casino that never goes down right ? Is that what you ment?

Not trying to be a jerk...I honestly got confused there for a second.

Because total life time winnings in the game is still a relatively short time.

Gambling is so boring in NV that when you do get banned, your glad you don't have to play that crap anymore. We need POKER!!!

More like corporate bigshot wigs. The good ol mobster casinos of yore are no more :cryvaultboy:

I think caravan could be a really fun mini-game as well if the opponent used tactics against the player. In other words, if the opponents occasionally played face cards on the player's stacks to mess up the player's efforts.

I'm going to try Caravan IRL this weekend with some friends.

Maybe if you're talking La Cosa Nostra, sure. But rumor I heard once from a massuse in vegas is that Steve Wynn bankrolled his first casino with Yakuza (Japanese mob) money, made enough money to build the rest, then sold all his casinos to pay for The Wynn. Though the colonel is largely right. MGM owns quite a few casinos around the US, yes that MGM, the one that makes movies. Other big groups include the Teasure Island Group and Harrah's Casinos.

Also, as I said before in real life Las Vegas they reward you for playing big, free rooms, free drinks, free airfare: Because they know that over infinite plays you will match the house percentage. If you're up right now they just need you to play more and more until statistics takes over for chance and brings you right back under a comfortable 3% house edge (97% win-back expectation), or more for some games. There's only one bet in the entire casino with even close to even odds (the Pass Line with odds taken in Craps), everything else they KNOW they'll eventually make money on. The more you bet, the more you play the more you risk the more they're going to want you coming back again and again. The casinos don't even measure it in terms of win/loss on your play, they measure it in total dollar volume of bets per hour, knowing in the long run they make their house edge.


The only way you really get the door is when your luck is too unbeleivable for security (IE you're playing very poorly and still winning every hand) or your betting pattern shows that you are using an advantage system (IE in blackjack when you bet $10 when the count is unfavorable, 20 on a neutral count and 40 when the count is favorable to the player).
Remember in the movie Casino when he explains it? "the guy's luck was just too good, he was playing like he knew the dealer's hole card, because he did". That's pretty much what it takes in a modern corporate casino.

Just be glad they don't break your legs or bury you in the desert like they did in Old Vegas when you cleaned house. It was worth the 40k caps and the silver trophy though.

It seems the best strategy to use in the casinos (if you have high luck, at least) is to play blackjack up to a bit under the casino limit, then start playing the slots. If you get too close to the limit, lose some money playing roulette (a guaranteed way of losing money, in my experience!); if you lose a lot, win it back on blackjack. Repeat, until you get a jackpot on the slots, which gets paid even if it takes you over the limit. Not foolproof by any means, but gives you a chance of winning something close to the casino limit plus the max slot jackpot of 32000.

Same thing brother...same thing. :mohawk:

Texas Hold 'em aint poker....just sayin.
