<p><span data-contrast="auto">The date is October 19</span><span data-contrast="auto">th</span><span data-contrast="auto">, the year 2010, and on both PlayStation and Xbox</span><span data-contrast="auto"> a game release brought about one of the biggest series successes of all time, the game Fallout</span><span data-contrast="auto">. T</span><span data-contrast="auto">he series in question was number six, New Vegas. It was loved by critics and gamers alike and a decade on from its release, we take a look back at one of the most seminal games ever </span><a href="https://bagogames.com/fallout-vegas-dlc-lonesome-road-trailer-released/"><span data-contrast="none">Fallout</span><span data-contrast="none">:</span><span data-contrast="none"> New Vegas</span><span data-contrast="auto">.</span></a></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><b><span data-contrast="auto">Introducing the Sierra Madre and Fall Out New Vegas</span></b></h4>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Fallout was created by </span><a href="https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/"><span data-contrast="none">Bethe</span><span data-contrast="none">s</span><span data-contrast="none">da</span></a><span data-contrast="auto"> and officially released 10 years ago, this anniversary special looks back at what made the game a huge success. </span><span data-contrast="auto">This in part came down to its ability to inspire players and show off the very best within a western RPG. With Fallout: New Vegas, players can play differently each time, join different groups, and build their characters in new ways. Plus, it offers a hardcore mode for those who want more challenges. Its innovations were more loved than the third Fallout instalment. New Vegas came with better technology and more style. The fact that there still is a debate is a testament to the enduring quality of New Vegas.</span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335551550";:6,";335551620";:6,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Since the release, Fallout has made a lot of changes to its series, beginning with </span><span data-contrast="auto">the</span><span data-contrast="auto"> takeover</span><span data-contrast="auto">,</span><span data-contrast="auto"> as Bethesda was bought by Microsoft. </span><span data-contrast="auto">This allowed Bethesda to merge with Obsidian which allowed for the possibility </span><span data-contrast="auto">of</span><span data-contrast="auto"> a follow</span><span data-contrast="auto">&#8211;</span><span data-contrast="auto">up on New Vegas specifically. This would be greeted by fans of the original that hale it as the very best of the Fallout series.</span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">For the fans, the game’s success comes from the re</span><span data-contrast="auto">&#8211;</span><span data-contrast="auto">playability that it offers, the same game, but different every time. The experience of New Vegas houses different character traits, different areas of buildings and it invites players to experience different modes of interest. </span><span data-contrast="auto">Hardcore-mode</span><span data-contrast="auto"> gives players a higher degree of challenge.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><b><span data-contrast="auto">The Sierra Madre Casino</span></b><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335551550";:6,";335551620";:6,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"><br />
</span></h4>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The focal point of the game was, of course, the casino Sierra Madre. The resort with hotel included played a major role </span><span data-contrast="auto">in</span><span data-contrast="auto"> this post-apocalyptic world. An engineered building that is guarded by </span><span data-contrast="auto">numerous hologram soldiers and other seedy forms of security. </span><span data-contrast="auto">The casino presented three games: blackjack, slots machines and roulette. The blackjack tables were located in a separate room which sat at the opposite end of where the slot machines were. You can play these games with on</span><span data-contrast="auto">&#8211;</span><span data-contrast="auto">screen instructions teaching you what the moves are in relation to your joypad. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335551550";:6,";335551620";:6,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Blackjack is an easy enough game to play and win. The basics of blackjack are to score a total of, or as close to, the sum of 21 with the cards you are dealt. </span><span data-contrast="auto">The game allows a maximum bet of 200 chips, your betting tally will be logged at the bottom left of the screen.</span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><img class="size-large aligncenter" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BM2IzOGU4YmItNTc2Ni00MjNmLWIzMjktODU5Zjk4OTUzMDkzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzg3NjQyOQ@@._V1_.jpg" width="1920" height="1080" /></span>Roulette is a game that resonates even with those who haven’t placed a bet before. It utilizes a wheel of fortune mechanism, where players anticipate where the ball will land among the numbered slots. The betting table offers a spectrum of wagers, from pinpointing single numbers to broader bets on rows, columns, or simply the color — red or black. It&#8217;s this very variety that was detailed in an article by <a href="https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/02/01/casino-utan-svensk-licens-och-spelpaus/">East Bay Times lista med casinon utan licens</a>, highlighting the array of options available to players, akin to those found at unlicensed casinos where the thrill of prediction is just as palpable.</p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Of the slot machines presented, only four in the establishment work. Enter the coin and pull the lever to the side to see those reels roll. It is all about luck and should you hit three matching </span><span data-contrast="auto">symbols;</span><span data-contrast="auto"> the game pays out.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><b><span data-contrast="auto">The Gaming Success that Spawn</span></b><b><span data-contrast="auto">s</span></b><b><span data-contrast="auto"> Online Interest</span></b></h4>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">When great things spawn interest, you can measure success in numbers. In Canada, </span><span data-contrast="auto">for example, </span><span data-contrast="auto">the release of Fallout: New Vegas broke all sale records. </span><span data-contrast="auto">Fallout: New Vegas became the highest</span><span data-contrast="auto">&#8211;</span><span data-contrast="auto">grossing game in Canada upon its release and created </span><span data-contrast="auto">a </span><span data-contrast="auto">ripple effect on the gambling industry, with </span><span data-contrast="auto">Casimoose</span><span data-contrast="auto"> Editor-</span><span data-contrast="auto">i</span><span data-contrast="auto">n-Chief Jeff </span><span data-contrast="auto">Lonsdale</span> <span data-contrast="auto">t</span><span data-contrast="auto">aking</span><span data-contrast="auto"> note of the game</span><span data-contrast="auto">’</span><span data-contrast="auto">s release and impact.</span></p>
<p><img class="size-large aligncenter" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UNJgcB-VuBI/maxresdefault.jpg" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">“The game’s </span><span data-contrast="auto">effect on </span><span data-contrast="auto">Canadian </span><span data-contrast="auto">players</span><span data-contrast="auto"> wasn’t immediate,</span><span data-contrast="auto"> but our partner casinos on </span><a href="https://www.casimoose.ca/real-money/"><span data-contrast="none">https://www.casimoose.ca/real-money/</span></a><span data-contrast="auto"> report how it remains one of the biggest pullers even so many years after its launch. I guess you can call it a slow-burner, it keeps reeling in the players effortlessly.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335551550";:6,";335551620";:6,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">So, where after 10-long years does New Vegas stand? Is it of any real significance now? Has time long passed to rejuvenate a sequel? Well, the bottom line is that it </span><span data-contrast="auto">doesn’t</span><span data-contrast="auto"> really matter what happens now, the gaming nature of New Vegas allows it to play like a new game each time. </span><span data-contrast="auto">Obsidian may hold rights over a sequel but, if this goes wrong, will the backlash be enough to end the fallout series. Better to let sleeping dogs lie.</span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335551550";:6,";335551620";:6,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
