Gambler was a Trabant/Satellite built by US manufacturer Chance Rides previously located at Wild Waves Theme & Water Park in Federal Way, Washington, USA.
History
The ride originally opened in 1991 at Geauga Lake in Aurora, Ohio, USA as Casino.[1][2]
The ride closed at the end of the 1999 season as Geauga Lake was transformed into Six Flaga Ohio for the 2000 season. It was then moved into storage.[3]
In late 2001, Casino was moved out of storage and was shipped off to Wild Waves & Enchanted Village in Federal Way, Washington, USA, a park that Six Flags acquired in December 2000.[4]
The ride was rethemed and reopened in 2002 as Gambler, along with nine other new attractions, being located in the newly built Big Sky Country area.[5][6][7]
Gambler was removed from the park around 2018 or earlier.
