Casino winning cap?

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 12:45 am

Not a complaint, that I'm aware of. But, I was under the impression that in order to be banned from a casino you had to win at least 9,000 caps. Here's my question: Did that change? So far, while at the Vikki & Vance casino, I get banned after winning a total of 2800 caps. It also seems that losing any amount does not take away from that total. I won around 1800 caps, lost 2000, and when I won 800 more caps (only giving me a 600 cap profit), I got banned.

On a side note: I noticed if you try to reload a saved game at the casino, to win it big (exploit the system), you randomly have to wait for the tables and slots to refresh as an anti-cheating measure. Funny.

I'm a little behind in playing, so sorry if this has been asked and answered. I did try searching for this to no avail. As for all of the complainers about bugs, I understand. We all paid good money for this game. It svcks that it has been so glitchy, but as I have learned from previous Bethesda games. All you need to do is wait and be patient. Remember that there is a REAL world outside of this game (hard to believe, I know). The people trying to fix the problems can't work 24hrs a day just so you can play a game. They like to see that REAL world thing I mentioned earlier.

If you can shed some light on my casino cap thing, I would appreciate it. If you want to complain about what I wrote here, save it. I'm going to investigate that REAL world thing I was talking about earlier. I'll check back after awhile.

All of the winnings maxes are different for each casino. Only the ones on the strip let you win more than 10K before getting kicked from the tables, with Ultra-lux being the most generous.

Aww. . .That's what I was thinking, but couldn't find it in the strategy guide. Makes sense though. Thanks for the help.

Glad people are still helpful in these forums.

Well, I looked in the strategy guide (pg 388 in the regular one under Big Winner: Vikki and Vance) and according to it, Vikki and Vance should also have a 9000 cap limit. But on the PS3 I had the same thing, I was at around 1200 winnings, hit a jackpot for 1600 on slots, then bam, banned.
