This information gives Fergie and idea of how to become rich quick and easy. He asks the navy scientist, Jason Elderidge, if Max can tell where a ball will land when playing roulette- the answer is, yes!

The three soon find out that becoming rich won t be as easy as they think, for, Admiral Fitch is staying in the same hotel- just one floor below them. If Admiral Fitch discovers what the are doing, they are in big, big trouble.
