You're now down to your final power chip. If you use your final chip, the next card will be an automatic keep. We're still looking for an Ace for $100,000.

Neither as everyone here. You've done it once again, Michael. Just for the record, let's take a look at Jennifer's face down card. She has a Queen... for a total of 19. Let's take a look at the Gambit Board and reveal some of the spaces. The instant win dollar sign was in number 16, the BUST space was in number 6, Stop or Go in 4, Take 2 in 12, and the Gambit Galaxy was in number 8. The money cards were in numbers 3, 7, 10, and 11. Let's do the math for a moment-- $44,863 worth of prizes including a new car, $100,000 for the Blackjack Bonus, $16,200 in cash for winning both rounds, and the previous winnings of $304,985... Michael Koontz-- In just 3 days, you have a grand total of-- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Merry Christmas, Michael! Don't go anywhere... because we're not through yet. Coming up next, we'll invite a very special celebrity guest to play Gambit Galaxy for their favorite charity. We'll return with a thrilling conclusion of Gambit right after this. Stick around, folks... [CLOSING THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial* =============================================================================== |

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Happy Holidays... and welcome back to Gambit. We are ready to close 2016 with a very special celebrity edition of the Gambit Galaxy. And today's guest is absolutely no stranger. You may know him as the host of "Gambit PM" here on CBS. Ladies and gentlemen... please give it up for Bill McDee!

Today's charity is for the VITAS Hospice organization in my home state of Pennsylvania.
As for the show, Gambit PM, we just began introducing some new elements to the show, including an opening round of four hands of regulation Blackjack to be played, that way there's many more cards and lots more action. A new winner's board where champions will win two grand prizes for every match they win, and then go on to play for up to $50,000 with our new Beat the House game, introduced on last night's telecast.

Good luck to you, Bill... and to VITAS Hospice. While Jennifer give Bill the dice, I have a surprise for everyone. The guys at Doug Morris Technologies have delivered the Mobile Operational Love-able Likable Interactive Entertainer... a.k.a. MOLLIE... from Las Vegas all the way to The Bob Barker Studio. We had to remove a digit and modified the unit without a single scratch or dent. MOLLIE, how are you today? MOLLIE (voice): I am feeling fine, Tony. Did you have a great Christmas? Tony: Of course. One of the best I've ever had. Santa have sent me a PlayStation 4 Pro and 3 games. The only thing he had forgotten was a copy of the Suicide Squad: Extended Cut Blu-Ray/DVD combo. [AUDIENCE LAUGHS]MOLLIE: All systems are online and I am ready to access the board for our guest... Mister McDee. Tony: Please feel free to access the board, MOLLIE. [BEEP-BEEP-BEEP]From the look at MOLLIE's board, you see nine numbers. On each roll, you get to remove at least a number. Each number that you remove is worth $10,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But... if you remove all nine numbers, we'll give your charity $1 million! [LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]As an added incentive-- whenever you roll a double, we'll give you a Gambit Power Chip. This chip is a guaranteed free roll whenever you roll a bad number. Do you have any further questions before we begin the round? |

I don't and I must say I have a very GOOD feeling about this, as my son has a new female friend in his life, and her name is Molly!
I'm ready to roll 'em...

Bringing your own dice, Bill? Really?

[DOUBLE JINGLE, APPLAUSE]You've rolled a double! And just like that, here's your Gambit Power Chip. With that 12, which of these numbers do you want to remove?

Oops, was I supposed to not roll yet? My apologies for my over eagerness. Let's remove the 9 and the 3 please, and I will await further instructions.  |

It's OK, Bill... and our producer Greg is right. I strongly suggest you must use this dice. However, we'll remove the 3 and 9 for you. [DING]Your charity now has $20,000 and a power chip. No bad rolls at this moment. Please roll again, Bill. *rolls dice* [DOUBLE JINGLE, APPLAUSE]And you've rolled another double! Here's your second power chip! With your 8, which of these numbers do you want to get rid of? |

Post by billmcdee on Dec 27, 2016 16:44:57 GMT -5
The 8 please.

[DING]MOLLIE: You now have $30,000 and 2 power chips left, all rolls are still good. Tony: Can we go for a third double? Roll again, Bill. *Bill rolls* [DOUBLE JINGLE, APPLAUSE]Oh my goodness... another double! Bill is on a roll today. Your third power chip! Which numbers do you want to erase?

[DING]MOLLIE: Bill now has $50,000 and three power chips. Fair warning-- the only bad roll is a 12. Tony: MOLLIE is right, Bill. If you roll a 12, your charity wins $80,000. Please roll again. *Bill rolls* It's an 8. So we'll automatically remove the 2 and 6. [DING]You now have $70,000 and 3 power chips. The only good roll on MOLLIE's monitors is a 5. If you roll a 4, we'll pay your charity $80,000. But if you roll a 5, your charity wins $1 million. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Let's all hope for a five. Let 'em roll. *roll* ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!! [BELL CLANGING, SIREN WAILS, 21 WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]What a spectacular finish to conclude 2016! Congratulations to the VITAS Hospice organization for winning $1 million. How do you feel after winning a million bucks for your charity, Bill?

Would a bottle of Welch's Sparkling Apple Cider be more suitable for you, Greg?
