If Raymond is unable to send the buzzcode to me within the next hour, Matt will get to answer the question.

No reply from Raymond, so Matt, you get to answer the question unopposed.

September is correct Matt!
Do you want to keep the 6 or give it away?

I'll keep it.

Keeping the 6 for his hand, we go to another toss-up question...
Are there eight, nine, or ten American universities that are part of the Ivy League?
Please submit your buzzcodes to me no later than 3pm EST tomorrow, Friday, August 28th players.

The next card, do you wish to keep it to add to your 6, or do you want to give it away?

Matt, to go with your six we have what Brittany?  A big ol' 10 of Clubs...  Total of 16. Freeze or continue Matt? |

I'm going to freeze.

Freezing on 16, very well.
Matt, you need 17 or better, without going over 21 to win the game and match.
First question to earn your first card...
What does a seismograph measure, is it radioactivity, earthquakes or humidity?

Correctamundo! (applause) Raymond, here comes your first card... Brittany?  Audience - WHOAH!!!  Next question, and it's a biggy... Was its author Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Jack London, or Mason Perry who wrote the novel "The Call of the Wild"? |

Matt, while we are sorry to have to say goodbye to you, we can't feel too too badly, just $100 in cash today, but you are going home with a cash and prize total, of... $364,275!!!! (applause) A phenomenal performance! Matt, best wishes to you always! We'll take a time out, and when we return, we'll see if Raymond can Beat the Dealer for a lot of cash and prizes! Stay tuned!!! |

Raymond, as our new Gambit champion, you've earned the right to face the Gambit Board, where you can win all kinds of goodies, trips, a car, other amazing prizes, a new mini-bonus game which can be worth $25,000, other cash prizes as well...  But to win them, you must Beat the Dealer! We received from Random Technologies a brand new deck of 52 cards which were shuffled and cut. This is played like standard BlackJack Raymond, if you can beat the dealer, you will win all prizes you reveal on our big Gambit Board here...  But first, the bad news. If you go over 21, you win nothing. If the dealer beats you, you win nothing. Also, if you select the "BUST" card which is lurking behind one of our 21 boxes, the game ends and you win nothing. Now the good news. You have THREE power chips, one for each game you won during the match, plus another one I discovered while I was borrowing Tony's dressing room, hidden under one of his sofa cushions. When you receive a card you can play the chip and discard it and receive another one if you wish. If you get exactly 21 in any combination, you win all prizes you uncover plus the Any 21 Jackpot worth $30,000. (applause) If you get a BlackJack, you will win all the prizes you uncover PLUS... (clang)  $100,000!!! (applause). Finally, one of the 21 numbers has a dollar sign. IF you select that first, you instantly will win ONE MILLION DOLLARS in cold hard Gambit CA$H!!!!!!!! Raymond, very good luck to you, and find that dollar sign! |

ok let's go with 17

A very popular magazine too, for people that age. Do people that age still read magazines? Anyhow, I digress.... If the dollar sign is under 17, you win $1,000,000! If the BUST card is there, it's game over.... What is behind 17? (ding)  Rosland Capital. Here's Frank to tell you more. Frank - An assortment of gold coins and bars. Gold is an excellent asset to have, especially during uncertain economic times. Put your gold into a retirement IRA. Rosland Capital will beat any price of any coin at any time. William Devane asks "What's in your safe?" Rosland Capital, okay Bill! So, it's not the dollar sign, but $5,000 in gold isn't a bad way to start. Before we proceed any further, Brittany will deal the first 2 cards for the house, one up card and one hole card....  (APPLAUSE) A pretty rotten hand I dare say for the house...perhaps. Raymond, here's your first card which you may keep...  A 6 of Spades. If you keep it, the Blackjack Bonus will be out of play. You can, if you choose, play a power chip and Brittany will reveal the very next card. How do you want to play it? |

So we kiss the 6 goodbye and let's see what your next potential card will be Raymond.  (applause) The audience seems to like it, but do you Raymond? Keep the King or chip it away? |

Very well, and now please select another number from the Gambit Board Raymond.
Avoid that BUST card!

Number 3 please oh mighty Gambit Board... (ding)  $1,000 in cash! Plus $1,000 for every card that you draw that is a Heart, provided it does not put you over 21. An Ace right here and now Raymond will win you the game and $100,000 in cash! An Ace of HEARTS will win you $101,000! Brittany?  Well it is an Eight of HEARTS! If you decide to keep it, that would give you an 18, a pretty good hand, or you can chip it out if you think you might do better. What do you want to do Raymond? If you keep the 8, please also indicate if you wish to freeze or continue playing. |
