I have no clue on how to play this.
It takes some thinking to get around the puzzles, but once you get the hang of the patterns that a line can take, then it's possible the complete level 1 in under 15 seconds.
Even if you know these main patterns, there's still some lucky guessing involved at some points where you can't decide which card contains a voltorb. I guess that's the whole point of gambling really, even if it's low risk in this case.
At the start, look for lines which have 0 voltorbs in them, and flip them all for a free 5 point continue, this'll also help you cross off some other lines.
If a line (Voltorbs + possible coin cards) adds up to 5, then it's useless; the cards will only be 1s and voltorbs of which you don't need/want. Mark them off and don't touch them :)
If a line adds up to 6, if you find a 2, mark off the rest of the cards as voltorbs; the rest will be 1s and voltorbs.
If a line adds up to 7, then things get more complicated. If you find a 3, then mark off the rest as voltorbs, and if you find a 2, then there will be another 2 card in the line somewhere.
Further on, there might be lines which have 5 voltorbs in them. Mark them off and look for lines with 1 voltorb in them that passes through the 5 voltorb line. Flippo!
To be honest, I think it's much more fun than the slots, albeit the prizes are way too expensive. 10000 coins for the only good TMs...
Not to derail or anything, but regardless.
I also had a WTF moment when I saw Falkner's level 13 (!!) Pidgeotto use Roost when I nearly downed it. Also gust being a special attack really sucks, as Geodude isn't as useful when gust takes off a third of its HP.
