Always enjoyed making tons of $ on the slots before being kicked out and also playing Caravan, particularly with Novac resident No-Bark Noonan. Lot of those credits got spent at the Gun Runners and the New Vegas Free Clinic.  |
Before the initial big post-launch patch that fixed some major bugs, balancing issues, and the fact that you had to drop playing cards and pick them up again to add them to your deck, Caravan was one the biggest player favored scams in the game.
When the game dropped, the money pool against the NPC vendors were combined, and the number of times you could play each potential sucker was unlimited. This meant that you could clean them out by playing a few hands, buy all their shit, then win that money back after. By the time you hit Primm, The Outpost, and Novac up for all their goods and caps/dollars/denarii all from fast travel, it would be about enough days time elapsed for the vendor refresh to kick in, and the first player you hustled would have new items and more money. You'd be rich before you even got CLOSE to Vegas (unless you know how to sneak past the deathclaws to take the shortest way... which has also been sort of patched, as they added more deathclaws, nearly assuring you'll be detected. Nearly. ^_-)
Alas, that's all gone. Have to break the economy in different ways. There's still the 100% gold trick from the Sierra Madre, but that's tedious and non-renewable.
