Is there a way to prevent yourself from being banned?

Fallout Vault said cashing your chips every 2000 chips can prevent this. Is this feasible or not?
Or is there any other ways?

No, because each casino keeps track of your overall winnigs. However if you have a high luck skill I would say make a save in front of the slot machines. Keep playing until you get 3 oranges. Max the bet out. The payoff will be 32k chips. Totally worth the time invested.

I wish you could do a quest or something that you cant get banned. Atm i am banned in all the casinos with my 9 luck character, which is kinda dumb. Basically they just prevent you from doing what vegas is all about, gambling.

There is not a quest or anything but a good tip is to bet all that you have and make stupid calls, like hitting when you have a total of 20 etc.

well it kinda makes sense cause otherwise you would basically have unlimited caps. dont get me wrong, that would be awesome to be able to buy everything, but thats not how the game is meant to be.

If the casino games were built more realistically, that wouldn't be a problem... The blackjack is worse than the ones I download on my cellphone, and the slot machines have been broken since launch. Mostly I stick to Caravan, last night I took Ambassador Crocker for about 5000 caps after a few hands...

One good tip for people who make high luck a cornerstone of their strategy is to play blackjack until you are close to that casino's ban limit, save, then play-reload slots until you get the jackpot you are after. This is alot of annoyance for an extra 6k chips though since the game is not that cash-intensive (I've never needed more than the 30k or so I get from casinos before being banned).

When you have 10 luck (8 + implant + nightwear), then you can generally hit a big jackpot pretty easily. I have not ever earned enough to be banned before having hit a jackpot of 8k I think. Normally I can get at least one of the casinos to hit the tripple-orange for 32k.


also: At higher luck levels, blackjact is dramatically different. With 5 luck I was earning chips very slowly and having to reload a lot. With 10 luck I was winning 10 hands in a row regularly, and making 21 every 4 hands (getting a natural every 8 hands or so).

Well you don't really need to earn money intentionally in FO3, FNV or even TES4. I basically have unlimited caps in all these games and the only limiting factor of preventing me to buy all the things is the carry weight.
I don't think anyone will be short of money with or without the casinos.
But what annoys me its that when I want to play a few rounds(for fun, not caps) it suddenly stops me. And the only solutions are to reload a previous save or lose intentionally. Both of these are quite stupid and surely make me less immersed.
