Bandit is a tricky puzzle as befitting a slot machine puzzle since we all know slot machines are just one armed bandits out to rob poor gambling puzzlers!
It's not an easy solve with how punishing it can be and my only good clue is by meditating on the theming of a slot machine. I had fun, but it's bigger than I'd like to keep a puzzle, so I'm letting it go to a new home.
Also for interested collectors, MW maxe very few copies in green. He went with blue, red, black, and purple. This is one of a handful of copies where he ran out of purple materials and couldn't get any more supplies due to supply chain disruptions. So he made 12 copies in green instead. Finally, while the card states there would be 350 copies, he stopped at 180 total and declared he wouldn't make any more beyond that number. So this is 1 out of 12 green or 180 Bandits. We have a crime wave here!
