If Bill wins one more round, he'll win the match and the right to play Beat The Dealer for $10 million while his play along home viewer will be playing for $1 million. Let's go now to round 4 while we look at the big money board on my podium. [DING]While the Blackjack Bonus remains at $25,000, the Any 21 Jackpot is now at $8,000!

And a most appropriate question given the fact that Star Trek is now 50 years old today.

The Milky Way is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]You now have $30,500, Mark. Do you want to keep the Queen or pass it to Bill? |

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]If your next card is an Ace, you'll win the $25,000 Blackjack Bonus and a tie game. Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, or Kenny Lofton-- Who was the only athlete to play in the World Series and the Super Bowl?

Deion Sanders.

Deion "Prime Time" Sanders is the correct answer. [APPLAUSE, DING]Bill... you have a decision to make. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Mark? If you pass it to Mark and his next card is an Ace, he'll win the $25,000 Blackjack Bonus and a tie game. |

I got burned before, however, my instincts again tell me I should pass, so I will give the card away.

[APPLAUSE]Bill decides to pass the card to Mark. If Mark's next card is an Ace, he'll win the $25,000 Blackjack Bonus and a tie game. Jennifer... please reveal Mark's next card. Jennifer: Mark, good luck to you. Your next card is-- *slowly reveals card* --a 5. [AUDIENCE GROANS, APPLAUSE]Tony: That gives Mark a total of 15. The Blackjack Bonus is out of play, but he still has a chance to 6 to win the Any 21 Jackpot of $8,000. One stipulation-- Mark cannot freeze on his 15. He must answer the next question correctly in order to the have the option of freezing on his 15. Here comes the next question for both hosts... Christopher Lee, Donald Pleasance, or Telly Savalas-- What star played Blofeld in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"?

Since it is better to give than to receive, I will indeed give the next card to my opponent, pass please, Tony.

Bill, once again, passes the card to Mark. If his next card is more than a 6, Bill will be playing for $10 million. If Mark's next card is a 6, he'll win the $8,000 Any 21 Jackpot and a tie game. Jennifer, please reveal Mark's next card. Jennifer: Mark's next card is a 2. Tony: Mark now has a total of 17. A 4 would give him $8,000 and a tie game. Again, he cannot freeze on his 17. Next question. Ben Hur, Gandhi, or Gone With The Wind-- During the last century which motion picture along with "Titanic" won 11 Oscars? |

The gambit here is to definitely give the card away, I'll pass. If it's 5 or more, good for me, if it's a 4, good for Mark and his charity, so a win/win.

Bill is passing the card to Mark. If Mark's next card is a 4, he'll win the Any 21 Jackpot of $8,000 and a tie game. If not, Bill will be playing Beat The Dealer for $10 million. This card will be decided victor. Jennifer... please reveal Mark's next card. Jennifer: Mark, your next card is... *slowly reveals card* ...a Jack. [BUZZER]Tony: Mark is busted. So that means Bill McDee is our champion for tonight! [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Congratulations on winning the match, Bill. Another $1,000 in this round... for a total of $27,900 for The Alzheimer's Association. And you'll be playing along with our live home viewer in Beat The Dealer coming up later. Mark... you were an excellent player in all four rounds. $30,500 for The Salvation Army... but it's not over just yet. Do you want to know why? |

Because, coming up next, our third co-host Greg Palmer will be there to play the Gambit Galaxy for your charity to win $100,000! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE][LAS VEGAS GAMBIT CLOSING THEME PLAYS...]Folks... the time is up. Still ahead, we'll announce tonight's home viewer to play along with Bill McDee as they go against Jennifer in Beat The Dealer for millions. And at the end of our show, we'll try to give away $10,000 to each participant playing the Gambit Galaxy. But first, we'll pause immediately for a commercial break. We're coming back with Greg and our runner-up Mark on Celebrity Gambit right after this on CBS... LIVE!

(fade in) [MAIN THEME PROLOGUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Greg: We're back at the fabulous MGM Grand Resort and Casino in Las Vegas for Celebrity Gambit. I'm here with Mark Liotta, second-place finisher. So far, he has $30,500 for The Salvation Army. But, he's going to add $100,000 to that, hopefully, by playing the Gambit Galaxy. Or... as we Men with All the Action like to call it, the Big Numbers. Mark, your thoughts, sir? |

$30,500 is nice, but a hundred grand would be even nicer

Indeed it does. Now, here's the board. As you can see, we have the numbers 1 through 9 up there. You're going to roll these dice, and then eliminate numbers that add up to what you roll. Each number is worth $5,000 for your charity. However, if you can knock off all 9 numbers, then you'll unlock the Gambit Galaxy and The Salvation Army will take home an additional $100,000! (audience cheers) And unlike that other show I used to host, if you a roll a double, I'll give you an insurance marker you can use for later on. However, if you roll three doubles without clearing a number, you lose the game. It's that simple. Are you ready for this, Mark? |

OK, then. Here are the dice. Good luck, and here we go! (I give him the dice, he rolls)   Eighter from Decatur!  There are a number of ways to do it, which is best for you? (audience shouts suggestions) |
