Atomic Wrangler Casino

"Hungry? Thirsty? Horny? The Atomic Wrangler has got you covered!"

The  is a casino in Freeside. It is owned and run by James Garret and Francine Garret. It is located on a side street, across the street from the Silver Rush. It is a smaller, less fancy casino than the ones on the strip, with fewer casino tables and services.

Bottom level
The main room has a vaulted ceiling, a stage, and a bar. The next room has the casino's cashier and casino games. To the right through the second room are the bathrooms and a stair case to the second story balconies

Behind the bar is a kitchen and storeroom accessible via a door around the corner near the bathroom with a very hard lock. The key to this door is held by both Francine Garret and James Garret, but it seems to be hanging open fairly often, perhaps because one of the Garrets forgets to close it when heading upstairs to their room.

Second level
This level has a balcony which oversees the stage and bar. Off the balcony are three rooms, all of which are unlocked. In the east corner of the balcony lies a rentable room. Stairways lead back down and up to the third level.

Third level
This level has the Garrets' room and rooms for the employees, through a door with an average lock which can be opened with the same key held by the Garrets. There is also a storeroom and several bathrooms.

Rewards and Ban
Prior to patch 1.02, the Atomic Wrangler does not give any awards for winning, though the game will kick the player out of the gambling mini-games when each reward level is hit. After patch 1.02, rewards are given at the following total win levels:


 * 1,250 chips: Beer
 * 2,500 chips: Dapper Gambler Hat
 * 3,750 chips: Dapper Gambler Suit

After the player earns 5,000+ chips, they will be banned from playing games in the Atomic Wrangler Casino. They can still use its other functions, like the bar and the services of the prostitutes (if the Wang Dang Atomic Tango quest has been completed), but they cannot win any more money. This ban is permanent.

Ownable suite

 * To get the ownable suite the Debt Collector quest must be completed. Once completed the player is given the key by Francine Garret.

Bugs

 * Once a player attempts to go to the second floor, or perhaps attempts to lockpick the offices/rooms, a bug may occur that interferes with interactions with NPCs inside of the Atomic Wrangler. Speaking with Francine Garret or the Currency Exchange clerk may result in a locked dialogue, and the only action that can be made is dropping inventory items from your apparel(by hitting square, the PipBoy doesn't actually come up).  Once your apparel inventory is empty (not to include what is equipped) the dialogue will unlock and allow you to finish the conversation however you choose.  This may also interfere with any dialogue with James Garret, as it appears that he will have no dialogue options beyond just greeting you.  A simple solution to the problem with the dialogue lock/inventory dump is to approach the NPCs that the bug affects with your apparel inventory empty save for what you want equipped.  This allows uninterrupted dialogue.


 * Once you enter the Atomic Wrangler your sound may bug out and even if you leave you will still hear the sounds of the casino's patrons in the background.


 * Once you enter the Atomic Wrangler you may encounter a large frame rate drop. If this happens turning around and facing the door has been known to stop it, however running around backwards can get quite irritating.
 * A bug can occur where you will not be able to enter the atomic wrangler, clearing cache does not work. The black screen permanent crash can be fixed if you wear 'Caleb McCaffery's Hat' before entering the atomic wrangler.


 * After completing the quest "Wang Dang Atomic Tango", if you acquired Santiago and Old Ben, both will show up at the Wrangler. You can only solicit Santiago's services, Ben will just sit at the counter. If you open a dialogue with Ben, you cannot ask for his services, but you can go through the initial quest dialogue with him. You have the option of telling him that James Garret is looking for someone to work for him. You can then use your Speech Skill (50 or higher) to convince him to go the The Wrangler, also giving you 50 experience points. You can continue doing this as long as you want, it seems.Also another glitch i have experienced is after receiving the free room for completing the quest "debt collector" you cannot store your belongings in the room without losing karma either leaving it there or retrieving your stuff.


 * If you're given the free room in the wrangler, prostitutes will not visit the player there, and you cannot purchase a room for them to visit. (Santiago and Fisto work in 1.2.0.285. This bug seems specific to Beatrix Russell. Additionally, Old Ben can never be hired).


 * If you ask Fisto for his service and select the option "Maybe later," option, you will receive 10 caps.
