Big Winner

''This article is about the unmarked quests. For the challenge, see Big Winner (challenge).''



Big Winner is a group of unmarked quests in Fallout: New Vegas.

Summary
The player needs to successfully be banned from gambling on all the casinos in the game.
 * Vikki and Vance Casino
 * Atomic Wrangler casino
 * Gomorrah
 * The Tops
 * Ultra-Luxe
 * Sierra Madre Casino

You do this by winning a certain amount of money in them just by gambling. So sometimes you may want to start with something other than slots.
 * Not only is it just about the chips, in all casinos you have the ability of winning 3 rewards before being banned, HOWEVER, take note that if the player breaks the house limit, before getting any of the 3 rewards, they will be banned as per the usual but WILL NOT receive the compensation reward(s) they missed by breaking the bank early (i.e. betting the max and hitting the x100 jackpot on a slot machine).

Each casino has their own marks for comp rewards and the limit at which the player will get banned.
 * Keep in mind your Luck skill factors a lot! The higher the Luck, the more likely you will win at blackjack, hit the jackpots on slots and have at least one of your bets on the roulette tables to win. For example, if you have a Luck stat of 10, and you have 19 in blackjack, you can feel free to double down, because there's a good chance of a 2 popping up!

Bugs

 * When the player is ejected from the play interface to receive their gift from the floor manager, if they begin playing again before the manager arrives and gives them their reward and win enough to receive the next gift, the floor manager will give them that gift, and the player will miss out on the earlier gift. This will not occur in the Sierra Madre, Vikki and Vance casino, or the Atomic Wrangler, since the player does not interact with floor managers in these casinos.
