The good news is that you still have the $25,000 check. If you beat our dealer Jennifer, you'll win the check along with additional cash and prizes. Are you ready to win the match once again?

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to Gambit. Now that both players are set, please allow me to explain the rules. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over. Each correct answer is $100 plus the option of either keeping the card or passing it to your opponent. Let's take a look at the big money board underneath my podium. [CLANG]The first player who has a combination of at least 21 wins the 21 bonus pot of $7,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But whoever gets an Ace and either a 10 or face card wins the Blackjack Bonus of $10,000! [LOUD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]During the commercial break, the lab rats at RANDOM.ORG have given our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed. J.Love will now break the seal and show our players and those of you watching at home the first card in round 1. Jenny...? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a 9! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]What an excellent card to start our first round. Nels and Matt... you have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. Here comes the first question. SPLITTING IT, SMASHING IT, OR EXPANDING IT: Fission is the process of doing what to an atom? |

Post by tmann3x on Apr 5, 2024 22:43:49 GMT -5
Buzz-code answer: 63 1st: MATT (48) 2nd: NELS (23) [BUZZ-IN]Matt...? |

Splitting It

Post by tmann3x on Apr 6, 2024 0:46:35 GMT -5
Splitting it is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]Matt... do you want to keep the 9 or pass it to Nels? |
|
|
|
Post by mringgenberg on Apr 6, 2024 8:31:21 GMT -5
Pass It
|
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Apr 9, 2024 0:14:53 GMT -5
Matt passes his 9 to Nels. Jennifer won't reveal the next card until someone answers this, and the next, question. Here it comes... DORIAN GRAY or DORIAN GRAY’S PORTAIT: Which one got older in Oscar Wilde’s story? |

Dorian grey

Post by tmann3x on Apr 10, 2024 21:05:38 GMT -5
The correct answer... DORIAN GRAY’S PORTAIT. Matt scores another 100 bucks.  [DING]Matt... do you want to keep the card or pass it to Nels? |
|
|

Post by mringgenberg on Apr 11, 2024 0:06:20 GMT -5
Keep It
|
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Apr 11, 2024 23:22:07 GMT -5
Matt is keeping the card. Jennifer, please reveal Matt's first card. Jennifer: Matt's first card is a 3. [AUDIENCE GROANS]Tony: The Blackjack Bonus is out of play until it comes back to the next round. Next question... TRUE OR FALSE: South Park originally began as an animated Christmas card mailed to 80 people. |

False
|
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Apr 14, 2024 18:40:48 GMT -5
The correct answer was TRUE. Nels gets 100 bucks. [DING]Nels, you have a 9... and you're looking for a 2. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Matt? |
|
|
|
Post by nelson21 on Apr 14, 2024 21:27:12 GMT -5
I’ll keep the card
|

Post by tmann3x on Apr 14, 2024 22:29:40 GMT -5
Nels is keeping the card. Jennifer, please reveal Nels' next card. Jennifer: Good news for Nels... it's an Ace! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: You now have a 10 or 20. Before I read the next question, you have a decision to make. Do you want to continue or freeze on your 20? |
|
|
|
Post by nelson21 on Apr 14, 2024 23:16:08 GMT -5
Freeze please
|
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Apr 16, 2024 0:49:46 GMT -5
And Nels is freezing on his 20. Matt, you need a 21 to win this round. Secondly, you must answer each and every question right in order to stay in the game. If you give me an incorrect answer or take too much time, Nels will win the round and an additional $500. Here's your question. CALIFORNIA, OHIO, or WASHINGTON: In which state is Yosemite National Park? |
