Used as a minigame in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. When attempting to hack a locked terminal the player must attempt to guess the correct password from a list of random words and characters in four tries (up to seven if the player manages to find a set of symbols to reset their allowance). Now, I just noticed my Slot Machines all just say Invalid Chip in CasinoData List! When trying to use them. I tried loading old savegames, and assuming that fixes te problem, I found the last time they seemed to work was around the time when I played in Sierra Madre (the Casino part). I might have forgotten that I installed a mod which broke.

Dogmeat is a recurring dog non-player character (NPC) in the Fallout series of post-apocalyptic themed role-playing video games. Dogmeat was introduced as an optional companion to the player character in the original Fallout (1997), and has made cameo appearances in the sequel Fallout 2 (1998) and in some other video games. Other, different Dogmeats are featured in the same role in Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout 4 (2015). All incarnations of the character were well received, becoming widely regarded as one of the best remembered features in the series, as well as one of the most popular sidekick type characters in video gaming overall.

Appearances[edit]

In the original Fallout by Black Isle Studios and Interplay Entertainment, the protagonistplayer character, the Vault Dweller, first encounters the feral Dogmeat in Junktown. Dogmeat's former owner (an unnamed man closely resembling Max Rockatansky) died at the hands of thugs hired by a local gangster named Gizmo. If the player character feeds Dogmeat or is wearing a leather jacket, Dogmeat will follow them and fight in their defense. According to the series' canon, Dogmeat was adopted by the Vault Dweller on 30 December 2161, and killed by a force field barrier during the Vault Dweller's assault on the Master's Military Base on 20 April 2162.^[1][2][3] Dogmeat was supposed to appear in the canceled film adaptation of the game as well.^[4]

In Fallout 2, Dogmeat makes a non-canonical appearance in an Easter egg type special encounter 'Café of Broken Dreams'.^[3][5] During the encounter, Dogmeat can be picked up by the player character, the Chosen One, if the player approaches him wearing Vault 13 jumpsuit (or the Bridgekeeper's robes, due to a bug in the game). If the player chooses to kill Dogmeat, a man named Mel (in a reference to Mel Gibson, the actor who played Mad Max in the film) will appear and try to avenge him.^[6] Dogmeat has made uncredited cameo appearances outside of the Fallout universe in Troika Games' 2001 Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (created by Fallout designer Tim Cain) and in 2004 The Bard's Tale by inXile Entertainment (headed by Fallout producer Brian Fargo). However, there were no plans to bring back Dogmeat for the original third Fallout game project by Black Isle Studios, the canceled Van Buren.^[6]

An entirely different^[3] dog named Dogmeat appears in Fallout 3 by Bethesda Softworks, which begins in the year 2277. His master, a scavenger, was killed by a band of raiders in the scrapyard where the dog is to be found. Dogmeat can be recruited by Fallout 3's player character, the Lone Wanderer. The dog can find objects of value across the landscape and bring them to the player.^[7]Fallout 3 expansion set Broken Steel optionally (enabled by choosing the 'perk' bonus 'Puppies!' after reaching 22nd experience level) allows a killed Dogmeat to be replaced by a new one (with twice as many hit points, that is a starting value of 1,000 instead of 500) whenever he dies during the game.^[8] A fanmade mod which provides an armor for Dogmeat was compared by Destructoid to the infamous^[9] horse armor paid DLC from Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, 'except free and functional'.^[10] Another mod adds Dogmeat to Fallout: New Vegas.^[11]

A new version of Dogmeat appears in Fallout 4. In this game Dogmeat is a German Shepherd, and cannot die.^[12]

Character design[edit]

Dogmeat was inspired by the unnamed dog of Max Rockatansky (Mad Max) from the 1981 post-apocalyptic film Mad Max 2. His initial name had been 'Dogshit' and his ultimate name was derived from the opening scene of the 1975 post-apocalyptic film A Boy and His Dog, in which the main character Vic calls his dog Blood 'Dogmeat'.^[6] According to Fallout producer, lead programmer and designer Tim Cain, 'Leonard Boyarsky, the [game's] art director ... had that movie running continuously in his office, and I think he remarked on several occasions that having a dog in the game would be really cool. [It's] why we wanted a dog in the first place.'^[6]Fallout programmer and designer Jesse Heinig was credited by Cain as probably 'one person to thank for Dogmeat.'^[6] Heinig himself said: 'My understanding is that [Fallout designer] Scott Bennie settled on the name 'Dogmeat' for the character, and it's likely that he did pick that from the story in question.'^[6]

In 2009, Fallout designer Chris Taylor said they 'never expected that Dogmeat would become such a popular character.' Taylor said: 'I always intended that the various NPCs that joined up with the player would come to a violent end. I was shocked when I heard of all the work people went through to keep Dogmeat alive to the end – especially the hell that they went through with the force fields in the Military Base.'^[6] According to Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas designer Chris Avellone, Dogmeat is 'arguably the most successful NPC companion ever' for several reasons: 'One, he doesn't talk, so the players can project a personality on to him. Two, he's effective in combat ... and three, he's a dog that stays with you through thick-and-thin. I don't think there's a deeper 'awww' sentiment than people have in their hearts for their pets.'^[6]

Reception[edit]

–Tom Hoggins, The Telegraph^[13]

Kotaku's Owen Good called Dogmeat 'one of the franchise's most iconic characters' as well as its 'one of the most [e]motionally fulfilling features.'^[14] The book Level Up!: The Guide to Great Video Game Design by Scott Rogers used him as an example while discussing how the 'party members don't need to be human'.^[15] In 2008, UGO Team stated this 'undisputed champion of Fallout characters' is not 'only our favorite Fallout character, he's also one of gaming's greatest dogs.'^[3] That same year, Joe Martin of Bit-tech ranked Dogmeat as the sixth top PC game NPC of all time, commenting: 'There are a lot of computer game characters we like and a few we’d even go so far as to say we love. Dogmeat though, despite being a definite tabula rasa, sits in a different category altogether and is the only computer game character that we’d reload and repeat significant portions of a game for, just so he could stand a better chance of survival.'^[16] In 2009, Michael Fiegel of The Escapist called Dogmeat possibly the most beloved character of the Fallout universe, writing that 'in an uncaring wasteland ... Dogmeat is a moral compass: Though your needle might swing towards good or evil, his center always holds strong provided you protect him.'^[6] Steve and Larson of ScrewAttack ranked Dogmeat as the tenth best gaming pet in 2011.^[17] Dogmeat was included in numerous lists of best video game dogs, including by Lisa Foiles of The Escapist in 2010,^[18] Michael Perry of PlayStation Official Magazine in 2012,^[19] Gergo Vas of Kotaku in 2013,^[20] and Benjamin Abbott of Metro, Brian Taylor of Paste, and the staff of Bild in 2014.^[21][22][23] Ryan McCaffrey of IGN chose Dogmeat as the top feature he wished to return in Fallout 4.^[24]

Dogmeat was also acclaimed by numerous publications as one of the best sidekick type characters in video games. He was included on GameSpot's list of the top ten video game sidekicks in 2000, chosen for his loyalty to his master in spite of his 'propensity to get himself into trouble, his inability to perform any tricks, and his refusal to listen to directions' in the original game.^[25] This 'loyal companion' was also chosen by GameSpot to be one of the 64 characters to compete in the 2008 poll for the title of 'All-Time Greatest Game Sidekick'.^[26] In 2004, Dogmeat placed as second on GameSpy's Dave Kosak's list of the best video game sidekicks, also because of his extreme faithfulness to the player's character.^[27] In 2008, The Telegraph featured him as one of top ten greatest sidekicks in gaming history.^[13] In 2011, Maximum PC included Dogmeat among the 25 of gaming's greatest sidekicks, commenting that 'though his look, his breed, and his stats have varied [through the series], Dogmeat has the loyalty and heart of a champion.'^[28]

River, the dog who portrayed Dogmeat in Fallout 4 was awarded 'Top Video Game Dog of 2015' at The CW's World Dog Awards.^[29]

• Dead Money: Stealing all the gold bars

Note: This requires a few C4s and a Detonator. In the final part you will enter a vault with 37 gold bars that weigh 35 pounds each. Each gold bar is worth 10.539 Caps. Use the following trick to loot all of them. Enter the vault and the door will seal behind you. Take everything in the room, including the 36 gold bars on the table to your right and the single gold bar on the overseer's desk. Deactivate the security system and activate the computer on the desk. Note: Only read 'Vera' and do not access the file that appears after you read it. Elijah will appear on the monitor. Convince him to meet you in the vault. When the conversation ends, immediately leave the now unlocked room. Walk to the far right stairway. A blue force field will appear, blocking your path. Lay your C4 at the bottom of those stairs then press your body against the blue force field in the doorway. When Elijah finishes speaking, you and he will switch places. Make sure he is on or very near the C4. Detonate the C4 and leave the way you came.

• Don't Die from Falling

Right before you hit the ground, save. Load that save and you will land lightly on the ground.

• Easy caps

If you lose in any of the gambling games and then reload your saved game, the game will force you to wait 30 seconds to prevent you from cheating. However, there is a way around it. When you are at the slot machines, do not exit slot machine mode to reload your game when you lose. Instead, once the wheel stops spinning and your results are shown, pause the game and reload your saved game. As long as you do not exit slot machine mode before reloading, you will not be forced to wait 30 seconds after reloading. To make easy money, try the slot machine at its maximum of 200 tokens. Never try more than twice at a time. If you lose both spins, just reload your saved game. If you win one of the two times, save your game and continue. Note: This glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game.
In Guardian Peak, you will meet an NCR soldier who is wounded. Through some Speech checks, you can get him to give you his gun for escorting him out of the cave that he is in. When you get to the entrance of the cave with him in tow, he will speak, and you can keep asking him for his rifle, which he will give you along with ammunition. Note: This is best done after getting the perk that allows for over encumbered fast travel.

This glitch requires a 30 Speech skill level and neutral or friendly with NCR. Go to Camp McCarran, and talk to Sergeant Bitter-Root. You should be able to find him in one of the tents. Ask him about his name, and then there will be an option for a 30 Speech skill level attempt. You can keep saying 'Bitter-Root. You have an unusual name.', and each time you say it, you can do the Speech attempt again. Simply say 'Bitter-Root. You have an unusual name.', do the Speech attempt, ask to talk about something else, and then repeat the process as many times as desired.
This glitch requires a 30 Speech skill level or the 'Confirmed Bachelor' perk and friendly with NCR. Go to HELIOS One, and the woman should automatically talk to you. Once she allows you access to HELIOS One, you should be able to start the 'That Lucky Old Sun' mission. Proceed with the mission, and talk to Fantastic and Ignacio Rivas. While talking to Rivas, make sure you get him to reveal that he is a Follower of the Apocalypse by using Speech or Confirmed Bachelor, and agree with his ideals about peace or say you are neutral. Do the mission regularly until you get to the point where you activate the Mainframe Terminal. Configure the Power Grid to '5. Full Region (Emergency Output Level)'. Finish the mission by hitting the Reflector Control Panel outside on top of the tower. Go back to Ignacio Rivas, and choose the 'I overloaded the plant. No one.....' option. That option will never disappear. Keep selecting that option to get 350 XP, 3 Stimpacks, and 2 Doctor's Bags.
If your Speech skill level is 50 or higher, you can persuade Old Ben to offer his escort services to the local bar. You will get 61 XP each time you complete this Speech Challenge. If you follow him back to the bar afterwards and wait until he sits down, you can speak to him again and repeat the same Speech Challenge as many times as desired. You can find Old Ben sitting by a fire close to The King headquarters in Freeside.
This glitch requires a high Speech skill level and 8 Intelligence skill level. Go to the Camp McCarran Terminal building inside Camp McCarran. Talk to the guy at the far end of the building, in the left corner. He is the leader and gives you multiple quests. Accept the interrogation quest, then go meet the woman upstairs to start the quest. When you get in the room to talk to Sirus, pick the 'Intelligence' option first, the 'Speech' option next, and then the 'Intelligence' option. Any of the three 'Intelligence' options work. Then, select the 'Speech' option (which should now be grayed out), and cycle through the 'Intelligence' options. You will get 50 XP every time you cycle through the options.
Go to Vault 11, and you will get a quest to find out what happened there. Once you get the overseer's passcode and enter it into her computer, you will be led to the 'sacrificial chamber'. Use a Stealthboy to get past everyone, and when the walls on the left open (as you walk in), go into the door and access the computer mainframe. You will be given three options, 'Override' and 'Download' for two conversations. Select the second download to get 500 XP. Do not exit the mainframe. Just keep selecting that option to get 500 XP each time. Repeat this as many times as desired.
This glitch requires a 35 Barter skill level. Go to Cottonwood Cove (in the southeast corner of the map alongside the river). You will meet a man named Aurelius of Phoenix (he sometimes wanders out of the camp). Speak to him, and choose to barter with his camp for ammunition and supplies. Select this option will get you 35 XP. Keep selecting that option to get 35 XP each time. Repeat this as many times as desired.
This glitch requires a 35 Medicine skill level. Once you gain access to the main strip, find Victor outside the Lucky 38 Casino. He will tell you that Mr. House wants to meet you. Follow him inside, and go up the elevator. Speak with Mr. House (the giant television face that looks like Howard Hughes). Find the dialogue choice pertaining to needing to ask him a few questions. Then, ask 'Who exactly are you, Mr. House?', and choose 'You appear to be a computer, not a man'. Next, select the Medicine skill check response, 'The lifespan you're claiming is impossible, except for ghouls and super mutants.' You will then get 35 XP (or 39 XP if you have the Swift Learner perk). You can repeat this as many times as desired.
Gamble in a casino, and play roulette. You will get 100 XP no matter if you win or lose.

Fallout 4 New Vegas

• Easy experience points

Gamble in a casino and play roulette. No matter if you win or lose, you will gain 100 experience points.

• Easy Hacking, Speech, and Stealing bonuses

Save the game before starting a dialogue with a Speech bonus, hacking a computer, lock picking, or pick pocketing. Then, simply reload the game if you fail the challenge.

• Easy kills

Purchase or find the Anti-Material Rifle. Then, equip it with incendiary rounds. Target an enemy or enemies with it in VATS, then close VATS. You will not use any ammunition, but they will still be on fire and lose health. You will not aggro enemies or friendlies. Also, you will not lose Karma or Reputation with each kill. This glitch is very useful if you need to kill a NCR/Legion that has a weapon or item on them. Note: This glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game.

• Easy Speech

This glitch requires a 20 Speech skill level. Talk to the 10 of Spades in Camp McCarren. You may first need to find out about Corporal Betsy's trauma. Start a dialogue with him, and select 'I heard about what happened to Corporal Betsy', then 'Tell me what happened'. The next options will be the Speech Check or 'If you were unconscious, how could you have done anything?' Do the Speech Check, and then the other option will be the only one available except 'Never mind'. After you select the unconscious option, the Speech Check will be available again, but grayed out. However, you can still keep pressing [E], and they will alternate. Even though the Speech Check is grayed out, it still counts as a pass.

• Easy stealing

Find a place to hide that is out of the line of sight of all surrounding NPC's, and save the game. Then, pick up an item by pressing [Z], and drag it to your hiding spot. Once it says you are 'hidden', press [E] to add it to your inventory. If you lose any Karma, reload your saved game, and try again. A good place to do this trick at is Gloria Van Graff's energy weapons shop in Silver Rush, Freeside. You can do this with any of the items on the counter, and there is a hiding spot on the back side of the room.

• Enemies catch on fire without firing weapon

Use the .50 machine gun incendiary ammunition on the anti-materiel rifle. Target an enemy with V.A.T.S. The enemy will catch on fire, even if you do not fire the weapon.

• Free repairs

By using this method, it is possible to repair any and all items to the player's current repair level without using any of you caps. To do this you, need the Confirmed Bachelor perk and enough caps to cover the repair cost of the item. When you arrive at the Mohave Outpost to get the pardon for the new sheriff of Primm, during the conversation with Major Knight a Confirmed Bachelor speech option is available. Select it, and whenever you do repairs through him, the item gets repaired to your repair level but the caps do not get deducted from your stockpile. This can be very useful when combined with any unlimited caps trick, and results in your player having all items at 100% condition (even things like the Fat Man, where replacement parts are difficult to find).

• Getting better items

Find a vendor that has two of the same items, but different quality. If you buy the cheaper quality item, you will still get the higher quality item.

• Honest Hearts: Achievements

Achievement	How to unlock
May my Hand Forget its Skill	Evacuate Zion.

• Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull reference

Go south on the road out of Goodsprings. After about 100 yards you will find a refrigerator at the base of a hill. There is a skeleton wearing a fedora inside.

• Infinite caps

Go to the town of Primm, and successfully complete the 'My Kind Of Town' quest to get them a new sheriff. Wait 3 to 7 in game days for the Vikki and Vance Casino to open again in Primm. Then, go to the Vikki and Vance Casino, and either win as many chips as possible from gambling or exchange as many caps for chips as possible. Go to the cash register to trade the chips in for caps. You will get the equivalent for the chips in caps, but you will still retain all your chips. Simply keep trading in the chips for caps to get as many caps as desired. Note: This glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game.
Go to a weapons and/or armor merchant, and see if he has two of the same weapon or armor for sale. If you can afford it, get the overall most expensive item at the lowest condition. For instance, if he has two Raider Sadist Armors at 45% and 76$, but also has two Flamers at 20% and 8%, then choose the Flamers. Purchase the cheapest of the two items, and then immediately sell it back to the merchant. Buy it again, and sell it back to them again. Usually the second, but sometimes the third time, you buy the same item from them, and it will appear in your inventory at 100% condition. Sell it back to them, and it will reappear in their inventory at the original low % condition. Buy it again, and it will appear at 100% condition. Repeat this until they have no more caps. If you wait three days after they run out of caps, they will have new stock and approximately 650 caps. The longer you wait, the more robust their inventory will be and the more caps they will have. Note: This glitch can cause the game to freeze. It is recommended you save your game often when doing this just in case the game freezes.
Successfully complete the 'Wang Dang Automatic Tango' quest to find Fisto, a Sexbot. Then, go to Silver Rush Casino, and talk with Fisto next to the roulette table. He will offer his services. Choose the 'No thanks' response to get 10 caps. You can keep selecting this answer as many times as desired to get 10 caps each time.

• Infinite magazines

Go to Old Mormon Fort in Freeside. Find Julie Farkes inside the Fort. Choose the dialogue option to help them get medical supplies. Go through the dialogue options to hear one that tells you that she just got a shipment of magazines. Then, choose the 'I have some medical supplies to drop off' option. There will then be three options; choose the 'Rad-Away' option, as it is the easiest one of the three to find. You only need to leave one thing if you do not care about fame. Every time you give them something, you will gain more fame. After you give them the supplies, choose the 'I'd like to buy medical supplies' option. There are a few aid supplies there that you can get if desired, but they will not regenerate. In the supply list, you can find the magazines. Buy any desired magazines, and then exit. You can then choose the option to give med supplies again. This time you do not need to give them anything; simply choose the 'Never mind' option. Go back to 'Buy medical supplies', and you can repeat the process for more magazines. You repeat this as many times as desired as long as you choose to drop off supplies first. You can even come back to do it again at a later time. You can get the following magazines: Fix-in' Things (Repair +10), Lad's Life (Survival +10), Meeting People (Speech +10), Programmer's Digest (Science +10), Salesman Weekly (Barter +10), and Today's Physician (Medical -10).

• Infinite Sunset Sarsaparilla Star Bottle Caps

If he is alive wait until the scorpions have killed him and then search the body for a 'Sunset Sarsaprilla Star Bottle Cap'. Fast travel to Novac and wait three days, then fast travel back to Scorpion Gulch and repeat the process. The wastelander will always have a star cap on him whether he is alive or dead and you can keep repeating the process until you have gained the 50 caps which are needed for the 'The Legend of the Star' side quest.

• Infinite XP Glitch

First you will need a high speech skill, and an intelligence level of 8 or higher. 1.Go to The Camp Mcarran Terminal Building Inside Camp Mcarran. 2.Talk to the guy at the end of the building at the far end, left corner.

Any of the 3 Intelligence (8) options work. 5.After that, hit the Speech option (which should now be grayed out) and cycle through the Intelligence (8) options more. You will gain 50 exp every time you cycle through the options.

• Kill Without Gaining Infamy

You need an anti-material rifle with incendiary ammo for this cheat. Equip your rifle and change the ammo type to incendiary. Use VATS on a target and quit the VATS after targeting. Now the target is on fire without you gaining infamy or agroing anyone. You may use this trick several times on stronger targets. Note: This cheat worked before later updates; it may be patched.

• Monorail entry

In Camp McCarran where the monorail directly to the strip is located, you can gain entry to the monorail. Take the long way around and stay as close to the vending machines as possible. Follow the wall around the back way. Make sure the other soldier has his back to you. Crouch and sneak up to this soldier. You may hear the phrase indicating that if you get any closer they will have to shoot you. However, as long as you remain hidden, it may flash 'Detected' briefly for a few times. As soon as you are close enough to the door, you can go through it and take a monorail directly to the strip. This may require a few attempts. Be careful when returning to the monorail from the strip. You will probably be shot. However as soon as you enter the monorail it resets, and you can again ride it back to the strip. By using this trick you can bypass many annoyances and quests, and can skip directly to meeting Mr. House and finding the person who shot you.

• No reset timer for roulette games

Actively play roulette. While doing so, load your last saved game. If done correctly, you should be able to immediately play roulette again after loading the saved game. This is useful for minimizing the amount of lost chips and maximizing winnings. Note: This was done at the Ultra Luxe.

• Replenish ammunition

In the unpatched version of the game, wait in front of the gun runners for two to three days. The ammo, upgrades, and almost everything else will be restocked. This also works at Van Graffs. The items and amounts seem to be random.

• Skipping directly to the strip

In Camp McCarran, you can gain entry to the monorail that goes directly to the strip. Take the long way around, and stay as close to the vending machines as possible. Follow the wall around the back way. Make sure the other soldier has his back to you. Crouch and sneak up to this soldier. You may hear the phrase indicating that if you get any closer, they will have to shoot you. However, as long as you remain hidden, it should only flash 'Detected' briefly a few times. As soon as you are close enough to the door, you can go through it and take a monorail directly to the strip. This may require a few attempts. Be careful when returning to the monorail from the strip, as you will probably be shot. However, as soon as you enter the monorail, it resets, and you can again ride it back to the strip again. By using this glitch, you can bypass many annoyances and quests, and skip directly to meeting Mr. House and finding the person who shot you.

• Star Wars reference

Go to the town of Nipton. Walk to the right of the town hall's front entrance to find a burned out building, with a pair of burned corpses in front. The view resembles the scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker finds the bodies of his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.

• Start with two 9mm SMGs

In the beginning of the game when you are being awakened by Doctor Mitchell, when you test at the Vit-o-matic, move your intelligence to 10, or when you choosing skills, choose Repair. Note: You need at least 25 points in Repair. Go to the Sunset Sasparilla crate with the broken 9mm SMG and pick it up. Repair it while repeatedly tapping [Confirm/Activate]. You will be able to repair it again. The game will glitch and you will obtain 20 experience points as well as two 9mm SMGs.

• Unlimited caps

In Guardian Peak you will meet an NCR soldier who is wounded. Through some Speech checks, you can get him to give you his gun for escorting him out of the cave that he is in. When you get to the entrance of the cave with him in tow, he will speak and you can continually ask for his rifle, which he will give you along with ammunition. Note: This is best done after earning the perk that allows for over encumbered fast travel.
Begin going through the storyline, once you get to Prim and complete the quest there, leave for awhile and return. You will be able to gamble. In order to gamble you must purchase chips. Go to the cashier at the Vikki & Vance Casino. Purchase as many chips as possible with any of the three types of money (Caps, NCR, and Legionaries). Once you have the chips, save the game normally (not by auto-save). Note: Each chip is worth one cap, so you can trade all the chips back for a full refund if needed. Once your game is saved, talk to the cashier again and select the fourth option (something similar to 'Cash in my chips'). She will ask what form of payment you want. Pick any option desired, then quickly exit the conversation. This should have given you as much of the form of money you requested that equals to chips. Caps are 1 chip to 1 cap. NCR are 8 chips to $20 and 40 chips to $100, and Legionaries are 4 chips to one Denarius, 20 chips for a Dalhali, and 100 chips for a Aureus. Once you have exited the conversation, check your inventory. You should have the money and the chips still in your possession. Talk to the cashier and repeat the trick. If you want to get higher amounts at a time, do the trick with caps a few times, then buy 1,000 chips for 1,000 caps about five or six times.
