Scrabble Bonus Tiles - Nels

[billmcdee]

Here is the game board in all her glory.

A random jackpot amount between $7,500 and $10,000 is played for.  I made it $8,650 for this game.

Behind 5 of the 10 lettered tiles are point cards ranging from 1 up to 5.

Behind 4 of the 10 letters are stoppers.

Behind 1 of the letters it says "DOUBLE YOUR MONEY".

If you uncover the double card before you reveal any stoppers, you will play for double.

If a stopper is uncovered before the Double card is found, then the Double card just becomes a blank tile, worth 0 points.

Another random dollar amount, from $250 up to $500 will be shown and each time a player uncovers one of the numbered cards, that random amount will be multiplied by the number found and go into the player's pot.

The player must reach 10 points total or more before uncovering 3 stoppers in order to win the big money.  If they uncover 3 stoppers before doing so, any money in the pot they accumulate is still theirs to keep.

It's very similar to the Dragon end game on Tic Tac Dough, except you don't lose until you hit 3 of the stoppers.

Who would like to give this a try?

[pathfinder20]

I would like to try.

[bighornbattle]

Same here.

[nelson21]

Me 3

[billmcdee]

Very well and wow thanks all.

Kourtney, we will start with you as you were first to chime in.





$450 per point will be paid to you as soon as you find one of the 5 point cards hidden.

Kourtney, please select any one of the ten letters.  If you select an "S" please tell me if you want the one on the pink square or the one on the blue square.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s start with the L Tile.

[billmcdee]

Under the L...









































A stopper.  That's just one.  The "Double Your Money" token is now out of play and replaced with a blank which will neither help you nor harm you Kourtney.

Try again, the $450 per point will remain there until you do find a number.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s try the blue S tile.

[billmcdee]

Last tile on the board has...









































The blank.  Just a moment ago that was the Double Your Money tile.  Found it one turn too late.

I can almost here Chuck Woolery doing his laugh saying "You're just really racking up the dough here so far!".

Fear not, 5 good tiles, 3 you want to avoid.  Odds are in your favor Kourtney.  Try again.  Still going for $450 per point.

[pathfinder20]

T please.

[billmcdee]

Let's see if we have any better luck with the "T"



































Yessir, 2 points there, $900 into the pot...







And the randomizer landed on $450 per point once again.  Please select another letter Kourtney and avoid a stopper if you can.

[pathfinder20]

The O.

[billmcdee]

The O has...

























1 point.  Up to 3 now.  Another $450 into your pot, which is yours to keep no matter what.






$500 per point this time.  The randomizer is being very generous to you today Kourtney.  Find that 5 point square!

[pathfinder20]

Let’s go with the U.

[billmcdee]

The last of the blue tiles...






























But not the last of the stoppers I'm afraid.  That's 2 now.  One more and it's all over for you.  Three tiles are still safe ones.  Pick one of those Kourtney.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s try the other S.

[billmcdee]

The other "S" has...

































WHOA NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that's the ball game.  Well Kourtney, you did wind up with $1,350, and I thank you for participating.




Let us reveal the rest of the board:






That entire right side of the gameboard was wrought with peril.


George, just as soon as I get the board reset, we'll have you give it a try.

[bighornbattle]

Ok.

[billmcdee]

Okay George.  First we're going to establish what your jackpot total is going to be.

I'm going to have you select one of 4 numbered tiles under the "Thousand" column, one of the 10 numbered tiles under the HUNDRED column, and one of the 4 tiles on the right which say "00" "25" "50" and "75".

If you select the 10 in the Thousand column, you'll play for $10,000.  If you draw a 7, 8 or 9, we'll see what the other 2 tiles will reveal.

So please select 1 - 4 in the Thousand column, 1-10 in the Hundred column and 1-4 for the right column.

[bighornbattle]

3 on the left, 6 in the middle, and 3 on the right please.

[billmcdee]

A rather nice draw there George, you're playing for $8,925 today!





The DOUBLE YOUR MONEY space is active and will remain so as long as you do not uncover a stopper before you uncover the DOUBLE space.

This first pick we'll deposit $350 into the pot for each point you uncover.

Please select a letter and good luck!

[bighornbattle]

T please.

[billmcdee]

Under the T is...















































Stopper.  That's only one.  Try again!

[bighornbattle]

L please.

[billmcdee]

The L has...





































4 big points!  That means $1,400 to you no matter what!







$300 per point on this next successful pick.  Find that 5 pointer George!  Which letter?

[bighornbattle]

N please as in Nice job on the background.

[billmcdee]

Thank you for the kind words!













Let us see if the N will be Nice...




























Oh no!  N was for Nasty that time.  That's 2 stoppers now.  Tread very carefully George.

Where to next?

[bighornbattle]

E please.

[billmcdee]

E is...




































A blank.  I think to save time though, from now on I will reveal the blank once it becomes necessary to do so.


Select again George.  This time it will have to be either a number or a stopper that you reveal.

[bighornbattle]

U please.
