This one was sitting in my unpublished list for some time. I don't know why I didn't finish it before now. Maybe I was waiting for this contest theme. :-)

This is one of the best puzzles I've solved!! The image is totally precise and the use of color was awesome. To make it really great was the fact the solving was fun and not overly difficult. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks, Guys. I'm just glad my addiction is puzzles and not gambling. :-)

This puzzle has a true story to go with it:

I took my kids to Las Vegas when they were old enough to enjoy the kids' attractions there. I took them to Circus Circus, where they have the game arcade and circus acts right above the slots area. I wanted to show them how easy it is to lose money in those one armed bandits. I put $20 into a quarter slot machine, and in a few minutes I won the jackpot - Ten thousand quarters = $2,500. They were so excited to see all those quarters falling into the tray. We couldn't fill up those plastic buckets fast enough. Kids are not allowed on the floor of the gambling area, but this machine was right there by the stairway to the arcade area, so they couldn't say anything, as I loaded their arms with buckets to carry to the cashier.

So much for my lesson in the dangers of gambling.

so Teresa, you've won the slots, you've won the lottery, do you always win the door prize too?
#16: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 15, 2010
I never won anything. Never had any luck at all. Until I adopted my two "special" kids. Ever since then, almost from the day I brought my daughter home from the hospital, my life has been filled with miracles. I don't know if my luck comes from my daughter or from my mother or from my grandmother (now a sweet angel). We are all kind of "charmed" I think. My life is stranger than any fiction. Even the bad things that have happened to me have turned into awesome blessings. I can't wait to see what happens next in my life. :-)

Estupenda imagen que recuerdo haber visto en los casinos que he visitado: Montecarlo, Estoril, Madrid, Barcelona, Santander, Niza, Líbano y algún otro.

Gracias Julio. Solo he estado en Las Vegas. Todos los casinos son lugares tranquilos ahora.
