Are the casino games rigged?

[SHMIZZLE]

I know that the house has the advantage. But I have never won a single hand in blackjack or any round in roulett after an hour of trying. I am starting to think that this is a joke from the developers into thinking we can get easy caps. Has anybody ever won at the casinos in this game?

I've been banned from playing in a couple of the casinos for winning too much at blackjack, though at the time my Luck score was really high and I think that factors into how well you do at the games.

In a sense, yes, they are rigged.

The Courier's Luck stat is what basically determines your chances of winning (obviously you have to know the rules too). 6 or more Luck, and basic knowledge of blackjack rules should let you win consistently, and get banned from every casino in under an hour.

That might be it. I didnt spend any points at all on luck. I thought that would be just for critical hits and didnt think it matered.

Luck is a pretty good stat. It affects all skill levels a bit (½ skill point per point of Luck), crit chance up to 10%, and makes you insanely rich with minimal effort.

Not as exciting as Intelligence, sure, but it's also not utterly useless like Charisma.

Did you really not think a stat called Luck would apply to casino games? Mauno nailed it, though. Five or less and you're at a disadvantage. The game even tells you when your luck had a direct influence in the hand, putting up a message that says "You feel (un)lucky" along with your winnings/losses. If you tanked your Luck to put points elsewhere, skip going to the casino, for sure. With 10 Luck you can just mash on blackjack and hit your cap with little effort.

Well I played Fallout 3 and luck didnt seem to matter much about anything. But then again Fallout 3 didnt have casinos, so there is my reasoning. I thought the casinos in this game would be based on realistic luck, not by the luck stat.
