 First of all, Happy New Year 2018! And also, big THANKS to GSN for bringing back Press Your Luck, including the Michael Larson episode. Here's the episode if you want to watch it. And also... Happy birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! He will forever be missed and your legacy still lives on! And Oprah KILLED it at the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards! She deserves it!  Now then, I believe that some notes are in order... 1. Matt Ringgenberg (aka mringgenberg) is our current champion with $43,994 in cash and prizes. 2. The Board is COMPLETELY COMPUTERIZED! 3. The Whammy's Bank is at $387,283. 4. Raymond can come back and play due to the error on my part. So, I need Matt to check in, along with 2 new players to tackle our Big Board against the Whammy, if you dare. |

Thanks for having me Dayo. I am 23 years old from the lovely state of Massachusetts. I am a full-time college student at UMASS Boston, where I study early childhood education, plus I work part time as a babysitter. In my spare time, I love shopping for retro video games, hanging out with friends and hosting net game versions of some of my favorite game shows. As for my new year's resolution, it'll be to get my driver's license and to meet new people.

Good luck on getting those games in gear. In fact audience, let's hear it for our players tonight on Press Your Luck! (Cheers and Applause) Now, this game would not be complete without that one important element: the Big Board!    As the board spins, let me tell you how the game works. This game is played in two rounds, in which they each consist of two halves: The Question Round and the Big Board Round. First, I'll be asking a series of four questions, and if necessary, the "Big Spin Bonus" question in the first half of the round, and I hope you give me some good answers. The first player who can get close to my Magic Number between 1-100 will get to buzz in and answer the question. And then, that answer becomes one of three choices for the remaining 2 players. A correct buzz-in answer will give you 3 spins, and a correct multiple-choice answer will earn you 1 spin. Should we get less than 20 spins (aka A Perfect Question Round) after the 4 questions, the "Big Spin Bonus" question will be asked, which is a Multiple-Answer question, and only one of you will have a chance to buzz-in, and give me the number of correct answers. If you can successfully do that, then you'll head to our special "Spin Board" for a chance to pick up even more spins. However, if you cannot give me enough correct answers to that question, then your opponents automatically get 2 spins. The more spins you have, the more money you could make (or break) at the second half of the round: The Big Board. And the Big Board itself is now computerized and it's filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. And anytime you stop the board like this.... STOP! | $2500 | $1000 | Whammy |  | Canada | Pick A Corner | | $750 + One Spin | P | R | E | SS | $500 | | Stereo | Y | O | U | R | $1000 + One Spin | | $5000 or Lose 1 Whammy | L | U | C | K | Move One Space | | Truck | Whammy | $2500 | Whammy | Advance 2 Spaces | Double Your $$ + One Spin |
Hey! Look at that! (Cheers and Applause)$6000 and a spin! That's what you want to do. Land on that beautiful Big Bucks square up there and you're certainly going to have a much better chance to win the game. Of course, on the other hand, what you DON'T want to do is to land on the Whammy.  Land on him, and he will take away all of the cash and prizes that you have earned up to that point, and if you get 4 of those, you WILL be sorry, because you'll be knocked out of the game. Now, the player at the end of the game that's earned the most money is our champion, and will also earn the right to play the Big Bonus Board for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cold hard cash, AND the right to come back and do it all over again. |

 OK, players. Here we go with Round 1, which starts with the first Question Round and this is the first question. Good luck to all 3 of you. Question #1: What type of indoor practice equipment, is usually used by rowers to train during the offseason?Now PM me your buzzcodes 1-100. The player who's closest to the Magic Number will get to answer. |

And I say that all of you are wrong. It's actually the Ergometer. CYCLING
TREADMILLS
ERGOMETERNo one gets any spins on that one. And here's why...  Last time I checked, cycling is most for many bicyclists and it's usually for people to improve their legs. Rowers, who use their arms, would use an Ergometer to improve their rowing skills at sea. Ergometers are indoor rowing machines. "Ergometer" is Greek for "Work meter". Just ask a rower about an ergometer some time and watch their response. With that said, here's Question #2. Question #2: Which chess virtuoso beat Boris Spassky after 21 games to win the World Chess Championship in 1972?PM me your buzzcodes now. |
