Take control of Vault 88 and become an Overseer with the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC for Fallout 4with our complete quest guide, covering the entire chain of missions offering in the penultimate add-on to the Commonwealth wasteland.

Brief: Manage Vault 88 like a Pro! Includes spawn locations, new settlers, build-limit and Vault-Tec Equipment changes. Description: Teleport to enemy spawn locations (the exits), spawn new settlers, lock down the reactor door (so enemies can't damage reactor), change the Settlement Build Limit to 2x, 3x, or 4x the original limit, and change the settings on Vault-Tec experimental equipment. A mini-vault door protects the water treatment area in case an intruder finds a way into the maintenance tunnels somehow. Water Treatment 1 The only section where the vault does not connect in the entire underground (mainly due to the subway tunnels more than that short distance between the walkway and vault door. Water Treatment 2.

As Overseer, the Sole Survivor can build a massive custom vault using new categories of workshop items. Now you can recreate all the pristine vaults of Fallout 4, creating sprawling interior rooms and interconnected walkways in multiple open buildable areas that can be unlocked. Once you’ve attracted settlers to your vault like a good Overseer, you can then dress the newcomers up in suits (and pip-boys) to begin experiments. Different tests result in all sorts of item rewards. There’s a lot you can do as Overseer, so we’re going to help you get started in this Workshop add-on with the step-by-step instructions below.

It may look like a regular slot machine and play like one, but a video lottery terminal differs quite a bit in terms of how winners are determined.

VLT gaming machines are usually equated more with games like bingo, pull-tabs, scratch-offs, or lotto than they are with slot machines. This is because there are a pre-determined number of winners, and players are competing with each other for a prize rather than against the house. There is also not necessarily a winner in each game.

Video Lottery Terminals (Class II machines)

Vault 88 Slot Machine Parameters Blank Terminal Blocks

VLTs are most often found in Indian gaming casinos or “racinos” (location with both a horse racetrack, as well as a casino). Each machine or terminal in a casino is linked together, forcing players to compete against one another for the prize, and with a set number of wins and losses, the group of machines is preprogrammed to payout at specific times.

The only catch for VLT machines is that players must announce their win in order to get the payout because the games are interactive. Although not every game has a winner, the game will be ongoing until a winner is determined.

As indicated by the name, video lottery winners are determined much like a lottery scratch card. Basically, when a game starts on a VLT, the system the machines are connected to randomly chooses a “scratch-off ticket” from those that remain. Once it receives the information regarding the winner, it sends the results to the VLT to reveal the winner, typically in some entertaining way.

Winning at VLT Machines

Obviously, the machine doesn’t have the ability to actually scratch off a ticket, but it does choose the winner from a pool, similar to a lottery ticket. Once all the outcomes in a pool are chosen, the central system receives a new pool.

The payouts can be slightly different on VLTs, as well. According to readybetgo.com, “The final results wouldn’t be noticeably different if the RNG simply picked one number from a group of numbers. Thus the mathematic methods of supplying the decisions in VLTs may be radically different than traditional RNG methods. But in the end, 1 in 10 is still 1 in 10, and 1 in 5,000 is still 1 in 5,000.” The artible goes on to explain that the reason VLTs can be slightly tighter is that they’re offered in areas where there is little competition. In fact, the typical payout is anywhere from 85% to 92%. So, if you’re playing in a casino that offers both VLTs and traditional slots machines, you’re probably better off with the latter.

Slot Machines (Class III)

Slot machines often referred to as “Vegas-style” or traditional slots are the machines you’re probably used to playing. Each traditional slot machine in a casino plays independently from other machines. The only way in which they are linked is usually in terms of the jackpot, but this is only for progressive networks.

Contrary to popular thought, there is no way to know if a certain machine is “hot.” The typical belief is that if a machine has just paid out, you shouldn’t play on it. This is simply not true. Because of the Random Number Generator, each machine has exactly the same likelihood of paying out. Unlike VLTs, slot machines are also not preprogrammed to pay out at any time, so you always have a chance at the jackpot!

When Do You Win?

Vault 88 Slot Machine Parameters Blank Terminals

To put players at ease who may have abandoned a machine in the past only to watch it pay out for the next player, you must understand that RNGs are programmed down to the millisecond, so the odds of winning if you had stayed are low. Because of this, the lever must be pulled at almost the exact time the winning number is generated.

Unlike VLTs, slot machine wins are immediate, and winners don’t have to announce their win to receive a prize. Although, I wouldn’t discourage any hooting and hollering if you’ve just landed a $10,000 jackpot. You earned it.
