Time for episode 26 of High Rollers! After being invited back due to a technicality causing him to lose, Evan took back his championship last time and won his 12th match overall. His 13-day winnings are $395,898 in cash and prizes. Matt leaves with $59,796 in cash and prizes as a one-time champion. Moreover, Evan won the Big Numbers! That's only the 3rd time in 25 episodes the bonus game is won. Jackpot resets to $25,000. I need one challenger for Evan. (stats: High Rollers awarded $858,627 in cash and prizes in 25 episodes, for an average of $34,345 per episode. Not bad for daytime!  ) |

(usual visual intro) Here's the game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last... HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH ROLLERS!
And now, here's your host, Clément!
(cheers and applause, I enter the stage laughing out loud because Rich tried to say my first name with French accent, but that became a sort of Brazilian accent) Good morning everybody and welcome to High Rollers. I'm Clemão... (laughs) ...Rich, I'll teach you how to say my name with a proper French accent. That's not this complicated. So I'm Clément and I'll try to offer you big bucks and nice prizes once again. Let's meet our two contestants of the day...  Our 12-time champion Evan and his challenger Kevin! (cheers and applause) Evan has won $395,898 in cash and prizes in thirteen appearances. Evan, you finally got the Big Numbers last time, and that's the third time only in the history of our show. Do you think you can do this again? |

Well, seems Evan is still shocked. Evan, one thing we didn't talk about last time: you finished on a double, and you had one insurance marker, you have now two insurance marker carried to this game.
We'll meet your challenger, it's Kevin. (applause)
Kevin, please tell us about yourself.

Okay, I am an accountant from Long Island, New York. When I'm not doing taxes, I like video games, game shows and writing fan-fiction.

It was my studies too. Good luck to both of you. It's a best-of-three match, first to two games goes to the Big Numbers for a chance at $25,000. We still have room for one last prize in Column 1, what is it, Rich? We're filling your technology package with a new desk treadmill! New studies emerge every day that point to the negative impacts of sitting at work. Now you can move while you work. The NordicTrack desk treadmill delivers a worthy workout while providing a sturdy workspace. Take advantage of the oversized desktop and iFit training technology, which delivers personal trainer-designed workouts and automatic tracking of every workout, every mile and every calorie burned. A prize worth $2,499, making the final value of Column 1 $10,678!
(applause) And that's all for Column 1, which is full for now. In Column 2, we still have some place. What do we have? We're adding to your prize package a new grandfather clock! The Ridgeway Lynchburg grandfather clock is stunning in a Glen Arbor finish on select hardwoods and veneers. An interior light gives the appearance of twinkling stars through a pierced stationary lunar arch. A prize worth $1,883, making the value of Column 2 $12,582!(applause) Good prize for your old days. We still have the game in Column 3, so what's the potential value of the board? The potential value of the board is $55,300!
(cheers and applause) A very nice board, but it misses some numbers.  Hot Column for this game is Column 1. If you roll a 12, you'll claim a technology package and you'll get a guaranteed cash bonus. First question of the game. Hands on buzzers, here we go. Is there more blood or more water in the human body? (buzzcode 1-100 or pass, and fifteen rollcodes 1-36 please) |

Is it water?

Post by CCSCO on Aug 1, 2014 20:18:40 GMT -5
Yes it is. About 70% of the human body is made of water. Roll the dice for the first time today.   It's a five. How do you want to play it? |

Scotland?

Post by CCSCO on Aug 2, 2014 19:35:50 GMT -5
That's correct, on September 18th. The other would be Catalonia. All rolls are good, so let's hope for a high number.   Another five. Either way, you have to break the hot column. |

Four and one.

 You've cleared the first row, but there's no bonus for that. We have one bad roll of the board, so every question is important from now on. How many of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were located in Greece? |

Two.

Post by CCSCO on Aug 4, 2014 16:47:23 GMT -5
The statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Colossus of Rhodes. You're correct. There are 2 in Egypt, 2 in Turkey and one in Iraq.
4 is the only bad roll, Kevin. Roll or pass?

I'm going to roll.

Anything but a 4, and you're still in this first game. (double SFX, applause) Snake eyes! First, an insurance marker. (hands an insurance marker to the model, who puts it in front of Kevin's podium)  Second, there's only one way to play this two, so remove the two.  We're sticking with low rolls, new question. What is the maximal duration of a Formula 1 Grand Prix? |

Post by CCSCO on Aug 5, 2014 4:05:21 GMT -5
(Kevin passes)  Evan? I didn't want to buzz...But you did press the button. (you sent me a buzzcode, then a pass) Therefore, I need an answer. |

Crap...
...Kevin can take control, I guess.

(the inbox is the supreme judge, I'm sorry - too bad you didn't try anything)
(time up SFX) No guess then... It was 2 hours. When time is up, all the drivers finish their current lap and the race is over.
Kevin, you get control. Two bad rolls, 4 and 5. One insurance marker for you, two for Evan. What do you want to do?

Post by koopakid17 on Aug 5, 2014 13:10:18 GMT -5
Those two bad rolls don't look threatening. I'll take the dice.

All right, two chances to roll something good and stay in the first game.   (cheers and applause) It's an eleven. And there's only one way to take off the 11, and I'm sure that will please you: remove the 8 and the 3.  That clears Column 3!  If you win this first game, you'll play Around the world for a chance to win up to 5 trips. Three numbers left, you really want to get control. What does the P of acronym HTTP stand for? |
