Geocache Description:

This puzzle geocache is one of 16 that form a "Geoart" on the map. The big question mark!


The final cache container is NOT at the listed coordinates, this puzzle must be solved first to discover those coordinates.

Here are the final coordinates: N 44 13.WIN W 124 02.LOST

Be careful on these narrow one lane roads, you never know what you might meet around that corner. Coordinates could be a little loose here with all the trees and mountains.

This could be your lucky day! Or maybe not....

Here is the puzzle:

Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. To determine the winning number and color, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular track running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls onto the wheel and into one of 37 (in French/European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

Man would I like to win a lot of money! So I am standing at the roulette table, I only like to bet on single numbers, none of that black or just white stuff! And I don't like even, odd or the ranges and am a short guy so can only reach the 1st line. What am I to do!
Bet a stack of chips on second red from the left. The wheel is spun, clickity clack in the ball falls. A win!
Bet a stack of chips on the first red from the left, clickity clack in the ball falls. Oh my God! lost!
Well, not broke yet. Bet a stack of chips on first black from the left, clickity clack in the ball falls. A win!
Hooray! Bet a stack of chips on the second red from the left, clickity clack in the ball falls. Another win!
Man, I must be lucky!
This is it, going to bet it all . Bet all chips on the fifth black from the left, clickity clack in the ball falls. lost!
Well at least I am leaving with the shirt on my back! I hope you do better and find what you seek.

Check sum on your numbers, if they are correct, is 29.
