| − | In ''Fallout'', gambling could be used as an exploit with some small heavy objects and some spare time. Go to the [[Hub]] and go south till you hit the bar, the [[Maltese Falcon]]. Talk to the black guy by the roulette table; when the dialog comes up use something (like a pair of 9v batteries, or else wedge a coin between the keys and the keyboard, or get creative with tape) to hold down the 1 and 3 on your keyboard. Leave it alone for a while and when you come back you should be well off. This requires a minimum of 60% gambling to turn a profit. The higher the skill, the more caps per hour one can expect to get. With this, one does not need to invest any points in [[Barter]], as one has an unlimited source of income. |

| − | In ''Fallout 2'', one can perform a similar exploit as above at any slot machine. Simply use a weight of some kind to hold down either the 1,2,3,4, or 5 key. The keys correspond to different betting amounts (1,2,5,10,25). The higher the number, the higher one needs in gambling in order to win more than 50% of the time. Even a 50% gambling skill can earn money with the lowest value, though it takes a while to earn any decent amount. By 80%, one can bet $10 and win consistently, easily earning in an hour or so all the money one is likely to need for an entire game. |
