Mar 23, 2011 Refer to the previous guy. Yes, you can't count cards with Fallout New Vegas. Not only does New Vegas blackjack have non-random cards, but it also regularly incorporates the 'luck' factor (yes, even luck is not random). A Retexture of the Courier Duster 'Blackjack' - posted in New Vegas Mod Requests: I know its not a mod but eh, so anyway I was wondering if anyone could make a retexture of Courier Duster Blackjacks (atleast) Number 21 to be 101 instead. See Im playing a TTW run and thought it would make sense for the Couriers Duster in TTW to be something from his or her past i.e 101 for Vault 101.

Rules

All casinos in New Vegas use the following rules.

• Maximum bet is 200 chips.
• The game is dealt from multiple decks, which are shuffled after every hand.
• The player may not purchase insurance.
• Late surrender is offered on any hand.
• Blackjack payouts and surrendered bets are rounded up.
• The player 'double for less', and the player may not re-buy mid-hand.
• The player may only split to two hands.
• The player may only split identical card values (that is, the player may not split Queen-King).
• A card is dealt to the second hand of a split before the player is allowed to act on the first.
• The player may only double the first of two split hands (X360 - it grays out the double down option, but you can still do it on either hand).
• The player may draw to the second of two split hands before drawing to the first.

House rules

Each casino has its own rules regarding blackjack payouts and when the dealer must draw. The rules can be seen on the table felts in each casino floor.

Barring variations from Luck, the best odds are found at The Tops, Ultra-Luxe, or Sierra Madre Casino. The worst odds are found at the Atomic Wrangler.

Atomic Wrangler (Freeside)

• Blackjack pays 6 to 5.
• Dealer must draw to 16, and stand on all 17's.

Gomorrah (The Strip)

• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Dealer must hit soft 17.

The Tops (The Strip)

• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Dealer must draw to 16, and stand on all 17's.

Ultra-Luxe (The Strip)

• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Dealer must draw to 16, and stand on all 17's.

Vikki and Vance Casino (Primm)

• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Dealer must hit soft 17.

Sierra Madre Casino (Sierra Madre)

• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Dealer must draw to 16, and stand on all 17's.

Notes

• Only the dealer and player hands are shown, even if other gambling non-player characters are present at the table.
• Blackjack is the safest of the three casino games, being relatively easy to win with only basic knowledge of the game and decent Luck. A Luck of 8 is usually sufficient to win the majority of hands you are dealt.
• When the dealer is passing out the cards, their first card is dealt from the middle.
• If textures are not set to high, it can be difficult to tell which cards were dealt.
• If playing with a fullscreen aspect ratio, the HUD displaying your current bet, chips, and earnings will cover up your cards, making it difficult to determine the value of your hand.
• If you try to cheat the system by loading after a loss, the dealer will take a minute to 'change out the deck' before you can continue playing.
• Though the description of Luck states that a high Luck slightly increases your chances at the casinos, the difference is actually quite significant. For a Courier with Luck of 8 or more, it is possible to get banned from each casino in the game with fewer than a dozen total losses. At 10 Luck, 9 times out of 10, hitting on 20 will draw the Ace.
• The 3 of Hearts in Gomorrah is missing a heart.

Blackjack can be played at the following locations:

Whether it's slots, blackjack, poker, or simply sitting at the side and sipping the free cocktails, Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas had something for everyone. Although the title of first Fallout spin-off goes to Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, the idea of branching out beyond the main franchise was revisited for New Vegas in 2010.

Giving the nuclear apocalypse a splash of neon, New Vegas shied away from the usual story that had made Fallout such a hit and handed the reins to Obsidian for something a little more fun.

Fallout 3 was an undeniable hit for Bethesda Softworks, which is great news after it took over from Black Isle Studios and Interplay Productions. Seeing it was on to a good thing, Fallout: New Vegas was fast-tracked into production under Obsidian. The developer gave birth to something that would become a cult classic and was an all-round hit. Set in the dusty plains of the Mojave Desert, you played as a mysterious character known as the Courier.

Fallout New Vegas Blackjack Tips

After being shot and left for dead, the Courier dived into the crime-riddled underbelly of New Vegas and bridged the gap between the warring factions of the New California Republic (NCR), Caesar's Legion, and Mr House. All three sides were vying for control of New Vegas, while the player's decisions would ultimately affect the outcome. We were introduced to fan-favourite Fallout creations like Mr House, Craig Boone, and Raul Tejeda (expertly voiced by Danny Trejo), but sadly, they've been MIA ever since.

Everyone has their favourite Fallout title, but when it comes to New Vegas, it hit that sweet spot of action and aesthetics that sees it tops many gamers' lists. Unfortunately, the gambling goliath lucked out after just one game and was beaten by the House. A whole decade later, and with fans still asking 'Where is New Vegas 2?', here's why Obsidian dealt us the hand it did.
