I've nearly got a mil from blackjack, I just save before I play, and if I come out at a loss, I load(however the BBS for blackjack disappears)

As for the lotto, I must have bought nearly a hundred... still no wins though... but I'm even hopeful. :)

I am ashamed of you! :lol:

I only ever played blackjack once and won 100,000 credits.

Yeh, just keep doing that, after a few 100,000 wins, your well on your way to 1,000,000. I think I've got 800,000-ish from blackjack in total. I wonder what the highest anyone has gained, or lost.

In my first game (always 100.000), i got 150.000 in the first go (for 21 points with the 2 start cards), then that guy left.
Second game I came across, in a pirate base like the first, I won 100.000, lost 100.000, won again 500.000 five times, lost one more time, then 3 times 100.000 won again, at last nice 150.000 again for me, after that, this guy also left. That's 850k!
Makes one million in two gos, and the second was fun, I sure like that feature!
X3TC: best game of all games of all genres of all times ever! Until Rebirth, presumably.
X3AP: My first steam program and my last.

I've won 800K, won 8 games in a row, with the same guy, then he cleared off.
bought 70 lotto tickets and have'nt won anything yet!

Hopefully the next patch will at least allow a 1% chance of winning, that would at least make me feel better that I'm throwing away 2500 credits at a time.

Yeh, I know the feeling. Btw, do the tickets become cheaper with race rank? Buying in Argon, Split and Boron space they only cost 1100 now.

There is a mod that makes the lottery winnable (or adds a winnable lottery).

I'm up about 1.4M. I bet 100k each time. :D Just like in real life, I'm not very good at restraining from wasting my cash on hand on stupid sh*t. :P

I'm at the point where losing 200-300k is a minor inconvenience. I'll get it back in 5 minutes from my traders/complexes. I'm really digging this game now. :thumb_up:

The only reason I buy the lotto tickets is to spawn a new BBS message, hopefully an assassin mission.

I've only seen one black jack game avaliable, I had just started so didn't have much money. I won the first hand and it said that they couldn't afford to play anymore and the game stopped.

Sometimes it'll do that. Most of the time you can only lose a couple times before the dealer leaves. Other times you can play 8-9 hands for 100k each and he begs for more. Tho, I don't think the actual bet amount means anything. It's just random whether he'll continue or not.
