*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Welcome back to Gambit. I'm here with our retired champion Ian. So far, he has won over $2.2 million... an all new record. The biggest total amount in history. Are you ready to win more before we see you in the Tournament of Champions, Ian? |

Since Ian is on hiatus, is it possible that Greg fill-in for Ian? If so, you're also gonna play Beat The Dealer for thousands more! So Greg, is it possible if you could join in until the retired champ comes back?

Welcome back, Greg. I just want to let you know not only you'll be playing this round for Ian... but you are also gonna play this round for yourself. That's right... if you win, Ian wins. And when Ian comes back, not only he wins, but you win as well. During the commercial break, the lab guys at RANDOM.ORG have delivered our dealer Lacey Von Erich a set of 52 super-sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut and sealed. Lacey is gonna break the seal and deal one card face up and the other face down.  Lacey's first card is a 9. We'll reveal the face down card later. Right now, let's open up the board.  Inside each of the 21 boxes are prizes, cash and new surprises. One of them has the Take 2 card where you select one prize and an extra selection for one deal of the card.... the Stop or Go where you either keep the cash or double the amount by matching two exact suits... the Gambit Galaxy card means you'll be playing the Big Numbers for an additional $250,000... and finally, we have two SWAP cards, where you get the chance to swap a prize by selecting a different number (after winning the game).  [DING]If you or Ian get a combination of at least three cards that add up to 21, you and Ian win the 21 bonus pot of $25,000. But... if either of you get an Ace and either a 10, or face card, or dollar sign and either an Ace, 10, or face card, both of you will each win the Blackjack Bonus of $200,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]However... if either you or Ian select a dollar sign on the very first selection, you and Ian will each get $1 million! [LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Since Ian have won his final game, I'll be giving you two Gambit Power Chips, including one for his right to play in the Tournament of Champions, and one more for reaching the Blackjack Bonus in the first round. Either way... use those chips wisely.  Good luck to you, Greg... and (whenever he comes back) Ian. Whenever you're ready, please select a number. |

Number 13, please.

If there's an instant win dollar sign inside number 13, you and Ian will each win $1 million! Let's see what's inside number 13.  [DING][APPLAUSE]It's a $1,000 money card. Now here's the situation... On Lacey's reveal of the first card-- If the card matches the same suit of the money card, which is a club, we'll double the $1,000 by two... [AUDIENCE OOHS...][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]$2,000 will be added to the prize pot. Lacey, please reveal Greg and Ian's first card.  Lacey: It's an Ace. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: No match, but we'll put the thousand in the prize pot. The good news is that you've got an all important Ace. Do you want to keep it? |

Of course! Let's keep that Ace and go with lucky #7.

 Greg and Ian has a possible 11. If either a dollar sign shows up or Lacey revealing either a 10 or face card, they'll each win the $200,000 Blackjack Bonus. Greg have chosen number 7. Let's see what's inside that lucky number...  [DING][AUDIENCE GASPS...]It's one of the two SWAP cards. If you win the bonus round or beat Lacey, you have the option of either keeping the $1,000 money card or select another number. Right now, let's all root for either a 10 or face card. For $200,000... Lacey, please reveal Greg and Ian's next card. *Lacey reveals card*  Lacey: You win. Tony: Blackjack! Greg and Ian have each won $200,000! [BELLS CLANGING, SIREN WAILS, 21 WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] The fun isn't over just yet, Greg. You still have a swap card. Do you want to keep the $1,000 money card or use your swap card and select a different number? |

Quick question. If I swap the $1,000 money card and I find a bust, do I lose the $200,000? Also, if I find the dollar sign, what do I get?

Then let's swap that $1,000 card for Number 21, please.

How do I feel? Spectacular! Outstanding! In fact, I'm going to return the favor from last time. (I approach Lacey, the dealer) Sorry, Mom. (I give her a big kiss on the lips, the audience cheers)

Great episode indeed!
Tony, just let me know, for episode 16, will there be 2 new contestants, or is Ian returning? |

I'm the returning champ, Bill.

Greg is still the champ... going for win #2 on Monday's episode. So that means we need a new challenger.

Congrats on win #1 Greg, and thanks for helping me out.
Tony, I sent you a P.M. about an hour or so ago with a few quick questions.
As for the new challenger, I also made reference to that when I messaged you earlier. Nate Diniz I saw made a request to play, so I will put out a contestant "call" for him when I post the new thread.
Thanks!
