On A Roll: New Bonus Round Testing

[palmer7]

All right...... Y.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Because -- don't you want to try to win big money for a worthy cause?

(scattered laughter)

Only kidding. I know you mean the letter Y which hides -- what?

(ding)

(audience cheers)

WOAH! The big one. $100,000. But the bigger the amount...


(alarm goes off)

...the tougher Wally makes it to win. Wally will now set the timer based on the value of your payoff against the values of the others.

Since you picked the biggest payoff of them all, you're probably not going to have many tries to roll a lucky 7.

...two rolls.

For each time you don't roll a 7, you win the sum's value in hundreds of dollars. But anytime you throw doubles, you don't win any money on that roll -- *and* it's an automatic shutdown.

Ready to try for 100-grand?

[palmer7]

Let's go! It's just you and me, Wally. Man against machine. (I kiss the dice for good luck, then spit something out) P-tooey! Dirty Harry must've been fondling the dice again. Get some hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some iodine!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience laughs and applauds)

Yeah, we're trying to get Harry to represent the house on an audience game we play here at On A Roll.  Indeed, he did get his grubby little hands on those dice.

So -- tell ya what. Greg, would you like to roll those red dice or ...

(Doug reaches under dice table)

...these Dragon Ball Z dice made by the anime club of L.A. Community College?

(scattered woos and cheers from the anime fans in the audience)

For the DBZ fans, we know there are seven dragon balls at all -- but the sides of each of the dice are numbered 1 through 6.

So -- the red dice or the DBZ dice, Greg?

[palmer7]

Let's go with the DBZ dice!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Very well. Two rolls to get that money level over $100,000. Good luck and take the first of your two rolls.

(Greg rolls)

WOAH!

(dings; DSW sound effects play; win theme plays; audience cheers)

The chances weren't in your favor -- and right away $100,000 for the Boy Scouts. How do you feel?

[palmer7]

EXCELLENT! In the words of Homer Simpson, "WHOO-HOO!"

[billmcdee]

Better high tail it out of here fast!  I just saw a gaggle of Girl Scouts in the lobby with cookies to sell you!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Woo-hoo indeed -- to the grand total tune of $111,250.

(audience cheers)

Back with another game -- after this.


(theme plays; audience cheers)

---

Hey, Bill, while you're here, wanna play Big 6?

[billmcdee]

I'll give it a whirl, just a quick heads up, my computer's been acting up again here at home so if I'm slow to reply, this is why.

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE TO SELF: Untimed downs for Bill. This is after all "the lab".]

---

(theme plays; audience applause)

Back with more of our celebrity special of On A Roll.

Bill McDee's play with us. Bill, we'd be in remiss if we didn't let you take your money roll. Please go ahead and take it now for $5000 a point.

(Bill rolls)

(Bill rolls)

Roll's sum is 9 -- times five large -- means $45,000 could be headed to the coffers of -- what charity, Bill?

[billmcdee]

The American Cancer Society Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience respectfully applauds)

We all know their work well. Many of us have attended relays for life. We're wishing you lots of luck as you play Big 6.

Wally, please give us a hint about this Big 6 word.

(ding)

"Let's play..." -- meaning the Big 6 word is the name of a particular game. It may or may not be a proper noun.

Four rolls to uncover as many letters as you can. Unlike the main game, you may only play one of the numbers you rolled; you can't play both and you can't play the sum.

Solve the word after just one roll and you win $45,000 for ACS. For each additional roll you need, we cut the money in half. Remember, doubles and rolls that have numbers you've already taken count as wasted rolls -- which also cut the money.

Good luck, Bill -- because you are on a roll.

(Bill rolls)

And you start off with a 5 and a 6. Would you like for Wally to reveal the fifth or sixth letter in the word?

[billmcdee]

The fifth letter please Wally.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Since you said "please", Wally gives you...

(ding)

...an I. For $45,000, Bill, what's this Big 6 word?

[billmcdee]

TENNIS

[dougmorrisontheair]

For $45,000 for ACS -- is it -- tennis?

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Not tennis. Sorry about that. You're now playing for $22,500. Please roll again.

(Bill rolls)

And another good roll -- a 1 and a 4. Would you like for Wally to reveal the first or fourth letter?

[billmcdee]

1 please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

First letter, please, Wally.

(ding)

It's a G. (a few murmurs from the crowd) No coaching, crowd -- although I do have a good feeling about this. Bill, for $22,500, name this game.

[billmcdee]

Ah!!! Could it be....GAMBIT?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For $22,500, is it -- Gambit?

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

It is! Great job. $22,500 for the American Cancer Society -- and a chance to win more with our new Lucky 7 game. Wally, please set that up for us.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. Bill, behind the letters in the word "lucky", we have more cash at stake. They range in value from $25,000 to $100,000. (scattered cheers) Please pick a letter and we'll see how much you're playing for.

[billmcdee]

In loving memory of my grandmothers Catherine and Charlotte, I select the C.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bill goes for C. Behind the C we find.

(ding)

(audience cheers)

Hey now! $100,000. Good news is you found the biggest amount of money. Now for the bad news..

(alarm goes off)

.. Wally is going to make it hard to win. Wally will set the timer based on the value of your payoff against the values of the others.

Since you picked the biggest payoff of them all, you're probably not going to have a lot of chances to roll a lucky 7.

...two rolls.

Now, here's how the new Lucky 7 works. For each time you don't roll a 7, you win the sum's value in hundreds of dollars. But anytime you throw doubles, you don't win any money on that roll -- *and* it's an automatic shutdown.

Understand what's going on here?

[billmcdee]

Totally and completely.

Let's roll them bones!

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, Bill, good luck. You're on a roll.


(Bill rolls)

And you start with a 3 and a 2 for $500. Last roll, Bill. We're looking for any sum of 7.



(Bill rolls)

Argh! (buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans) Well -- boxcars make for a bummer.

But here's the good news. You won a total of $23,000 for ACS.

(audience cheers)

We thank you for playing -- and I know the ACS folks thank you for playing, too.

More of On A Roll -- after this.


(theme plays; audience cheers)

---

Okay, we've got time for probably one more round of Big 6 and the new Lucky 7.

Who wants to try?

[asja2002]

I'll give it a go for the Jimmy Fund at Dana-Farber

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays; audience applause)

Back with more of the On A Roll celebrity special. Steven Anderson's playing for the Jimmy Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Steven, please go ahead and roll for $5000 a point.

(Steven rolls)

(audience cheers)

A lucky 7. You'll want that that for sure later on. But right now, this 7 makes the Big 6 game worth $35,000.

Wally, a hint, please.

(ding)

Name Game. That means the Big 6 word is a famous person's last name -- obviously a proper noun.

Roll 'em again, please, Steven -- because you are on a roll.

(Steven rolls)

And you're starting off with a 2 and a 1. Would you like the first or second letter?

[asja2002]

First letter, Doug

[dougmorrisontheair]

Taking the first letter is...

(ding)

...a C. For $35,000, Steven, what is the famous last name?

[asja2002]

Is it CAGNEY
