I have been toying around with some ideas about this end game, as well as incorporating other exciting features as well into the next episode.
I want to try out some test runs of the end game here first. Some changes made.
Once I get a volunteer I will explain further.
Thank you,
Bill

Splendido!  As before, 7 picks are the maximum number a player will get to take in this game. In each column there is a money bag, a stack of paper money and a pot of gold. Matching 3 of those will win you money. The payout chart shows the ranges of cash awards that can be won. If a player makes Three On A Match, they will then select a random number to determine how much their jackpot win will be. Afterward, we will reveal the multiplier hidden under the last box selected, assuming it is not a No Match card or the Stop card. It will either be 1, 1.5 or 2. Also, with each good symbol there will be a random cash amount assigned, anywhere from $100 up to $500, each in $50 increments. That cash is kept regardless of the outcome of the game. If a player's 7th and final pick is a safe pick, but they do not achieve Three on a Match, they can still multiply the money in the pot possibly. For now Bryan, I'll just request you select a column (20, 30 or 40) and a color (Red, Green, Yellow or Blue) and we'll begin sir. |

40 on the Red has... (flip)  The "No Match" card unfortunately. One rule change, if a "No Match" card is selected, the player is required to select from a different column on their next turn. So now you must choose from either the 20 or 30 point column Bryan. Where to next? |

20 on the Green has... (flip)  (groans) Wow, seriously?!?!?! Well the good news is you got both of those out of the way.  You could still wind up winning over $17,000 however. Now you are required on this next pick to select a box from the 30 column. One of them IS the "STOP" sign. Please please avoid it and better luck to you now! |

30 on the Red, please do NOT be the STOP card!!! (flip)  Whew! Okay! $500 into the pot, yours to keep no matter what. Got one money bag working for you, and four picks remaining to try to find the other two. Where to next? |

30 on the Green? The other 2 money bags would be somewhere in the 20 and 40 columns though, not in the 30. Just wanted to clarify and see if you wanted to perhaps reconsider your selection before revealing it to you  |

Oh right, make that 40 green

Hoping for another money bag at 40 on the Green... (flip)  A pot of gold instead. Another $100 in the kitty, up to $600 with 3 picks remaining. And while you could try for another pot of gold in the 30 column, I'd recommend waiting since we know the Stop card is in that 30 point column some place. You do still have one more pick available to you for the 40 point column Bryan, but it's up to you as to how you want to play it. |

20 on the Yellow coming up... (flip)  Gadzooks! It's a pile of money, another $250 into the pot. Got one of each now with 2 picks to go. Which box next? |

Oh that worries me... 30 on the Blue? (flip)  And that was the end of the Gingerbread Man. Bryan, a valiant effort, and you did score $850 and that is yours to keep! Thank you for participating! |

Sorry for the delay, been one of those weeks:  Good luck Nathan in uncovering 3 matching lucky symbols before you hit the Stop Card! Remember, two columns have "No Match" cards. If you uncover one of those, you must then pick from another column on your very next turn. Various cash awards ranging from $100 up to $500 are attached to each of the 9 lucky symbols, and that will go into your bank and will be yours to keep no matter what. But achieve Three on a Match in the number of picks specified on our payout chart, and you will win big, plus a good chance of winning even bigger! Potential for as much as $25,000 could be won here if you achieve an instant match and make the right selection of cash award envelopes! Where do we begin Nathan? Please select a column (20, 30 or 40) and a color (Red, Green, Yellow or Blue). |

OK, let's do 20 on the Yellow, Bill!!

Post by billmcdee on Feb 25, 2021 17:20:59 GMT -5
20 on the Yellow to start... (flip)  A safe pick and $450 for that no matter what happens. (flip)  Pot of Gold there. If your next two picks uncover the other two pots of gold, it's an instant match win for you. Six picks left, which box now Nathan? |

40 on the Blue, please!

Do we have another pot of gold there? 40 on the Blue... (flip)  NO!!!!!! Mercy alive! And just like that, the game is over.....$450 for your efforts however. But Jiminy Cricket, with my beta-test games, if it wasn't for bad luck, my players would not have any luck at all! |

To tell you the truth Bill, I was going to (inside my brain, internally) use a randomizer to determine which squares I would choose, or use a bit of mathematics to determine which squares I would choose. I chose to use mathematics in this situation, but it didn't pan out for me. *shrugs* Oh well. I can't blame myself for trying, lol

Yes, that happens sometimes. Just part and parcel of the unpredictability of the game!
