Best method to obtain "The Courier Who Broke The Bank"

Recommended Posts

I got sick of trying to play Blackjack and the Slot machines, so I hit the Roulette table and found an extremely simple method of getting this trophy. It took me about 30 minutes to get banned from all 3 casinos and I started with a 0 chip profit in all 3 casinos. Here is the method:

  • First obtain the Naughty Nightware from Mick & Ralphs in Freeside that Mick sells. It adds +10 Speech and +1 Luck. I had 5 Luck by default and with the +1 Luck it brought my total Luck to +6.
  • Enter one of the casinos and buy 2000 chips. I say 2000 chips so you can create a limit that you will go to till you re-load your save which is explained below.
  • Approach a roulette table and then create a new save. You will use this save throughout the entire process as you win/lose.
  • Once you save, enter a game of roulette. The goal here is to bet your max chips (200) on double 0 (00) green. Continue to bet on this until you use up your entire 2000 chips.
  • If you do not hit a double 0 green in you 2000 chips, simply reload and start over.
  • Once you hit, you will win around 7000 chips. As as you hit, save over the previous save and continue the process above.
  • Do not stray away from the goal and continue to bet on double 0 green until you are banned in all 3 casinos.

 

It took me about 30-35 minutes to get banned from all 3 casinos. I hit a double 00 green twice in a row from the Tops which is around 1400 chips. This is the fastest way I can find for someone with low luck like myself.

 

I want to give credits to the video below as it assisted with the process I explain above:

do you mean i need to place al bets under 00 or just on the 00 square?

  1. Raise your bet to 200 chips by hitting the Right Trigger 1
  2. Move it over to the top left of the board with your Left Analog Stick on Double Zero Green
  3. Press X to place your bet
  4. Press SQUARE to spin the roulette
  5. Rinse and repeat the steps above.

 

Create a chip limit! Mine was 2000 chips (10 spins), then reload your save. You don't want to do more damage then good.

naah i think i go for the blackjack way. i dont think you can pul this off with a luck of 3.

 

Anything is possible lol, Im stuck on that as well. I was thinking about making a new game with the luck maxed out. Then do the offline cap glitch. Get over to the the Strip and easily get banned from all 3.

 

My luck is only at 6, and its still a pain in the ass to win. :mad:

Although I believe the leveling up exploit is no more b/c of the patch, it's a lot easier with 10 luck... I needed this trophy and the food one so I just made a new character with high luck+survival.

 

With 10 luck you almost always get 20 or 21 @ blackjack.... slots, you win almost every time. I haven't tried roulette yet but I'm sure you win almost everytime too.

 

My first character had 2 luck... and I lost 20k at each casino. Just save yourself the trouble and make a new character with at least 6 END and 8-9 luck (you can make it 10 with the implant and/or naughty nightwear), it's a LOT easier this way and it doesn't take very long to reach the Strip.

I had 8 luck (7+1 from naughty nightware) when I took on this trophy....

 

the roulette method nearly bored me to tears, and that was just at Gomorrah, which is the easiest of the 3 casinos... the house doesn't have that much luck there. But I was hardly making any money via roulettes.

 

so I switched to playing blackjack, far more efficient, and I entertained myself for an hour doing that. no time wasted saving/loading.

 

then again, each to their own. some people do enjoy playing roulettes

GOD DAMN IT I've been gambling at the Ultra Luxe for 45 minutes now. I've failed at least 250 times. I've gotten one 0 six times, but obviously two zeros fucking 0 times. I currently have 8 luck. WHY!!!!!

Not sure why this would happen, I didn't wait longer than 15 minutes for any of the casino's to get all the chips needed.

 

How did this turn out for you in the long run?

I just got this in 45 minutes playing blackjack with 8 in luck. You will win 4 out of 5 hands and with the two last casinos I didn't even backup save while I was playing. I have never played blackjack before so with 8 in luck you should do well. Didn't do much splitting our dobling up either.

QFT. Did exactly that, same stats as him. Many times I've hit 19s or 20s.
