Win Big Cache (GC1VQB6) by bflentje

Ever since I stumbled upon the GDLibrary (graphics device library) while working on a web project, I've been wanting to create a geocaching puzzle that involved dynamic web images.  Building a functional slotmachine as the puzzle seemed like a fun idea.  After hours of scouring around the Internet for the slotmachine images, I had what I needed to begin.  The slotmachine was written in Classic ASP (Active Server Pages) and is able to be embedded into a geocache listing because it looks and acts like nothing more than an image tag.

As a geocacher looking to score the find, the only way to solve the puzzle is to click the spin button on the slotmachine and hope for good odds.  You are awarded the coordinates, in part or in full, by hitting a winning combination as defined by the payout schedule or by scoring a jackpot.
