Isn't the 'invalid chips in list' bug related to adding mods with new casinos or changing load order?

Has anyone ever had this bug on console or PC unless they loaded a new DLC on an existing save?Grigoriprime (talk) 17:46, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

so would this avoid the anti cheating measure 38

saving 2 different saves when you win, than reverting to the first of the two saves when you lose a hand?

No, make one save when you win (or two, if you want), but when you need to reload, load any other save first, and then the one you want. Kal 15:50, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, just tried it myself, doesn't seem to work. Dying is probably easier! Kal 15:55, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

I just got 3 grapes in a row and I LOST MY BET. Wtf.--69.126.23.36 02:03, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure that the grapes were lined up along the middle line? The divider lines between symbols are a symbol themselves. So if the grapes were just above or just below the center line, that's actually a loss. - Dmunsil 02:42, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

I just hit 3 grapes tonight and won 80x my bet (screen shot). --Jimnms 08:13, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

seems to be a rare bug that turns up now and then just lost 200 after getting orange,cherry,7 and lost instead of getting 400 dollars Sparkler 16:50, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Nope, I definitely got three grapes in a row. What a bummer... could have gotten a ton of chips --192.132.64.2 05:36, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Double 7's also give payout/luck?

Yeah, hit hiddensymbol - 7 - 7 and got 6000 caps from my 200 bet. Don't know if anyone else has this, but the possibility isn't mentioned in the article so far. Running the latest patch on my pc version.

Also, does anyone else have ideas on how much luck is advised before trying the slots? With a luck of 7 they still slurp away all my chips; the above situation was with a luck of 10 (8+implant+naughty nightwear) 84.85.227.124 15:42, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

I also hit BAR - orange - orange today and I won 32000 chips, I was very happy but at the same time I was really confused. I have actually won with 7 - grape - grape also, I think its a bug.

it took so long

i spent a hour or two trying to get orange orange orange at gommorah it took a long time and my bet was 200 every time i buy 2000 chips every time i go for my regular new Vegas afternoon

three oranges under 30 min with 6 luck?

Is there any veracity behind that note? It seems quite arbitrary. I spent an hour and a half trying for the jackpot with 8 Luck before giving up.

In my experience, each machine, and table for that matter, allows you to win/lose more. In my case, at 7 luck, I was doing max bets at a slot machine in Gomorrah for an hour, staying at about equal loses and wins, before I tried the next working machine, and got 3 oranges in about 2 minutes. Just try all the machines and see which ones you win more on.

60 second cool down after a load

is there any way to avoid it?the time thing doesnt seem to work

If you're on PC, there are a couple of plugins available that remove the 60-second anti-cheat timer. They are here and here. Mods do not disable achievements. If you're on console you're SOL, unless you power down your console and restart that way, at which point the sixty seconds would probably be over by the time you get back in game anyway.

New Patch Slot Changes, WTF

The max bet has been decreased to 75 in the latest patch, and the max payout of 3x oranges is now only 100:1! --ArmeniusLOD 19:07, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

I also noticed that the rate at which I am getting jackpots with 10 Luck is a lot different. Pre-patch I would most often get bars or oranges after 8-12 spins, moving from one machine to the next. Post-patch I am getting lemons as quick as 2 spins of the slots, and grapes after 6-15. I have not gotten any orange jackpots after the patch after spinning the slots literally hundreds of times. --ArmeniusLOD 16:54, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

YES!!! They corrected the tempting money exploit of 9 Luck + slots = buying everything in level 2. :D Brfritos 03:24, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Net profits not like real slots?

Playing a little slots at the Sierra Madre, I noticed something that bugged me. But since I've barely played slots in-game or out of it, maybe someone can tell me I've got this wrong. The tallies in the lower left tell me how many chips I've got, and what my current earnings are. They are correct. But what I noticed is that the earnings do not go down the moment I pull the lever. It waits to see that I don't hit a payout, then it deducts my bet.

But isn't that wrong? If have earnings of 0, I bet 1, and I hit one cherry, which is 'bet x 2', I end up with earnings of 2. That's a profit of 200% of my bet. Shouldn't the money put in have already been deducted, so that I only net 100% of my bet? That is, 'bet x 1' to cover the bet, then another 'bet x 1' profit? I find it hard to believe that real slot machines work this way. If they don't, I'm surprised this article doesn't mention it.--173.56.83.83 00:24, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Name?

Shouldn't this be 'Slot machine'?--Ant2242 (talk) 22:03, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Want to earn the Benevolent Leader achievement / trophy for Fallout 4 without all the fuss? Thanks to the futuristic prototypes found in the Vault-Tec Workshopadd-on, that possibility is a reality. It’s easier than ever to crack the bizarre code behind Bethesda’s weird happiness system. Still filled with bugs and quirks, the happiness-generated machines unlocked in the Vault 88 quest can overpower the 80 happiness barrier and help push you to the limit.

This is a simpler solution than most, and won’t require expensive shop kiosks or high levels of charisma — although that stuff still helps. By using fewer settlers, you can make the tiny group happier with less resources required. It all happens faster too. There’s a lot of preparation, and it takes some patience, but this is by far the easiest method to earn Benevolent Leader that we’ve discovered so far. Check out the full guide below.

Explore Gameranx’s massive list of guides, how-to’s, secret locations, and everything else a fresh Vault 111 escapee needs to thrive on the Fallout 4 Ultimate Commonwealth Guide and become a true post-apocalyptic survivor.

Vault-Tec – Get 100 Settlement Happiness The Easy Way

This method requires the Vault-Tec Workshop add-on, but many of the concepts can be replicated in the vanilla version of Fallout 4. Using new Vault 88 workshop items, earning the coveted 100 Happiness in a settlement is easier than it’s ever been.

Before getting started, you’ll need to complete the Vault 88 Overseer quests and unlock a particular set of Vault resources. You won’t need all of the prototypes, but having them all will make your task easier.

Vault 88 Experimental Resources:

Select the following experiment parameters when completing Overseer Barstow’s quests.

• Power Cycle 1000 (NOT REQUIRED)
  • Environment Enhancement:
    • Construction: (4) Steel, (3) Screws, (2) Rubber, (2) Copper
    • Results: Assign settlers to work on the Power Cycle to produce 2 Power (Only during daylight hours.)
• Soda Fountain
  • Mood Enhancement:
    • Construction: (6) Steel, (3) Glass
    • Results: Assign settlers to work on the Fountain — Requires 2 Power, Produces 15 Happiness
• Phoropter
  • Eye Care:
    • Construction: (4) Steel, (2) Nuclear materials, (3) Glass, (2) Aluminum
    • Results: Assign settlers to work on the Phoropter — Requires 3 Power, Produces 10 Happiness
• Slot Fountain
  • Lost Revenue:
    • Construction: (4) Steel, (2) Screws, (3) Plastic, (2) Gears, (2) Circuitry, (500) Bottlecaps
    • Results: Requires 1 Power, Produces 15 Happiness

Fallout 4 Body Slots

The Power Cycle 1000 experiment will not increase happiness, but the other experiments in the same range can cause death. The Environment Enhancement absolutely will not cause death, or lower happiness.

The Phoropter features the Subliminal Messaging parameter that increases happiness by 15. Don’t select this, as some players report that settlers will drop dead from the side effects.

Preparing Vault 88 For 100 Happiness

To earn 100 Happiness with minimal effort, you’ll need to prepare the settlement properly.

• Gain 2 Settlers. You should have only two settlers in your vault.
  • Get rid of Overseer Barstow and deactivate the radio beacon once you have two regular settlers. Clem and one of the interview subjects gained during the quest “A Model Citizen” will work.
  • Overseer Barstow cannot be assigned to work. That makes her useless. Get rid of her!
• Create a supply line to Vault 88 using one of your other settlements with abundant water / food supplies.
  • Don’t use one of your two Vault 88 settlers to establish a supply line. You’ll need them for other tasks.
  • Once a supply line is established, check to make sure your food / water resources are green in the workshop menu. If not, make sure your other settlements are producing plenty of overflow water / food.
• Remove all beds! Beds are notoriously buggy. Delete all pre-existing beds.
  • While you’re at it, remove as many “yellow”-marked objects.
  • It also helps to NOT reactivate the other three areas of Vault 88.

Character Requirements:

The new additions to Vault 88 make life much easier. You won’t need to construct expensive trading kiosks anymore to increase happiness.

• You must be Level 20 to activate the Vault 88 quest.
• Otherwise? Charisma 6+ might help.
  • Local Leader / Cap Collector are NOT REQUIRED.

Basic Construction Requirements:

These are the basic resources required to cover all the needs of your two settlers.

NOTE: All required materials are easily located in Vault 88. Break down every ‘yellow’-marked object in workshop mode to gain tons of parts. Near the East tunnels, you’ll find generator parts that are packed with rare crafting materials.

• 2 Beds
  • Any beds will work. Even sleeping bags.
  • Place beds in a covered structure. A prefab shack with a door, for instance.
  • This is (very likely) required, even in the Vault 88 underground. Weird!
• 2+ Automated Defense Turret
  • Build enough defense turrets until the workshop menu meter for defense turns green.
• 2 Small Generators
  • These two generators are required to power the Phoropter, Soda Fountain, and Slot Machine.

Vault 88 does not need a Recruitment Radio Beacon. The beacon is located near the entrance, down the stairs from the main Vault-Tec workbench.

Overview – 100 Happiness Guide

Are you prepared? Before moving on, make sure your settlement needs are all green — food, water, defense, and beds should all be green.

• Do you have only 2 settlers? Do they have beds in covered rooms with a door?

You’re almost good to go. Complete all experiment quests and get these variants:

• Mood Enhancement Soda Fountain
• Eye Care Phoropter
• Lost Revenue Slot Machine

These three devices cover all your basic needs — thirst, health, and play. Now you’re ready to start earning happiness. Here’s how it’s done.

Step-by-Step

Follow these steps to unlock true happiness for your settlement — or just earn the Benevolent Leader trophy / achievement, then abandon the schmucks.

Fallout 4 Slot Machine Reddit Game

1. Unlock Vault 88 at Level 20 and complete Overseer Barstow’s quests. Unlock these experiment parameters as you complete the quests.
   • Mood Enhancement Soda Fountain
   • Eye Care Phoropter
   • Lost Revenue Slot Machine
2. During the quest “A Model Citizen” — select to remove the second settler. You only need two.
   • At the end of the quest chain, make sure Overseer Barstow leaves Vault 88.
3. Turn off the Vault 88 radio beacon when you have exactly two settlers.
   • If you get more settlers, send them to a different settlement!
4. Remove all current beds and build two more. Existing beds are very buggy!
   • Make sure to build your two beds in an interior room that is enclosed and has a door.
5. Place turrets until your defense requirements in the workshop menu are green.
   • Raider attacks are very rare in the vault, but just to be safe, place your turrets in the central room. Somehow, raiders get inside even if the doors are closed.
6. Assign a settler (from a different settlement) to connect a supply line to Vault 88. Do this at any point once the area is unlocked.
   • Why? To make sure your food / water supplies are green. If they are not, make sure your connected settlements on the supply line produce TOO MUCH food / water. The surplus goes to other settlements in need.
7. Construct all the experimental Vault resources; the Mood Enhancement Soda Fountain, the Eye Care Phoropter, and the Lost Revenue Slot Machine.
   • Connect these device to the small generators.
     • Assign one settler to work at the Soda Fountain, and one settler to work at the Phoropter.
   • The Slot Machine does not require workers. Settlers will randomly use the machine during the day.
     • You can also use the Barber Chair to an easy happiness boost, or build a second Lost Revenue Slot Machine to cover happiness.
   • Without these extra happiness resources, happiness will max at 80. With these devices, it will increase to 98-99.
8. Everything is in place! Now all you have to do is wait.
   • Happiness will not increase while you are resting or sleeping. It only occurs in REAL-TIME — go out into the wasteland and explore, or just leave the game running for awhile.
   • If you want to be absolutely sure everything is working, idle in workshop mode. Switch workshop mode on then off to refresh the numbers and see if your happiness is increasing.
9. When your settlement happiness reaches 96-99, it’s time for a visit. Return to your settlement and idle for a long period of time. Staying in a settlement will increase happiness.
   • Wait long enough, and eventually you’ll finally hit the coveted 100 happiness. Congratulations! You’ve just earned the Benevolent Leader trophy / achievement.

This is the simplest method for earning 100 happiness we’ve found. It still takes a lot of time, but you’re almost guaranteed to go over the edge with all these happiness generating devices.

Remember; the size of your settlement doesn’t matter. This can be earned at any settlement. Also, the size bar of your settlement does not factor into happiness calculations. Decorations also don’t matter. All that matters is that needs are fulfilled, citizens have a roof to sleep under, and they have lots of extra sources of happiness.
