Gambling (skill)

Gambling is a Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics skill.

The knowledge and practical skills related to wagering. The skill at cards, dice and other games.

Initial Level: Starting Gambling skill is equal to 20% + (3% x Luck). Average characters will have a 35% skill.

In Fallout Tactics, at least without the patch, just your main character will be able to gamble. The process is also bugged: you can offer nothing for all, then hit the gambling button rapidly. In 10 seconds you can win, even with 30%.

In Fallout, Gambling could be used as a cheat with some small heavy objects and some spare time. Go to the pub and go south till you hit a bar. Talk to the black guy buy the roulette table. When the dialog comes up use something(like a 9v battery or get creative with tape) to hold down 1 and 3 on you keyboard. Some leave it alone for a while and when you come back you should be well off.
