[larsonfan1]

I'll take the $1,000 and a spin.

[CCSCO]

(mixed reactions)



It's your choice, and only you can tell if it's a good one. $4,000, third place, one spin left. Press your luck or pass?

[larsonfan1]

I'll press my luck, Big Bucks! No whammies! STOP! (13)

Seems you made the wrong choice. Stay with us, the game is not over yet.

Michael C., it's your turn. Last place for now, and nine spins for your consideration. Press your luck or pass?

[Deleted]

I don't know why you're saying "Press your luck or pass?" when I'm in last place.  Of course I'm pressing my luck.

Time to get that car now!  STOP!!!  (9)

[CCSCO]

Because S&P requires me to ask.

And just like that, you're in the lead, ahead of Kevin by $15,658. 8 spins to go. This time this will be a relevant question: press your luck or pass?

[Deleted]

This might not be a popular decision, but I gotta protect my car.  I'm passing all 8 spins to Kevin.

[CCSCO]

(gasps)



We're going to Matt now, with $11,007 and 6 spins to his name. You're in third place, you trail Kevin by $884 and Michael C. by $16,542. S&P requires me, press your luck or pass?

[mringgenberg]

Press my luck. Come on Big Bucks and STOP!! (7)

You're now in second place, 5 spins to go, trailing Michael by $11,542. Press your luck or pass?

[mringgenberg]

Keep Going! Big Bucks! I don't want a whammy! Give me cash or a trip and STOP! (14)

A bit late for that, but if you can hit it two more times, your score increases by one million dollars.

Same situation as before, what do you do?

[mringgenberg]

Keep going. Big bucks! No Whammies! STOP! (14)

Still five spins to go, and only $4,042 behind Michael. Press your luck or pass?

[mringgenberg]

I feel a Whammy coming on. I'm going to pass.

[CCSCO]

And your five spins go to the player in first place, that would be Michael C...



Michael, you have to protect your car by yourself now. Five spins you must take, here's the first one. (board starts spinning)

[Deleted]

d*** you, Matt!  OK, I gotta protect that car!  STOP!!!  (9)

[CCSCO]

And there's a penalty for profanities, I have to take your car away. (laughs) Just a joke, but there are youngsters who watch the show at home, so pay attention.



You've earned one spin in the process, but you have four spins you must take. Here's the next one. (board starts spinning)

[Deleted]

Those youngsters should be in school then. 

(audience laughter)

Anyway, I still gotta protect that car!  Let's get a trip to Sydney or Paris as well!  STOP!!!  (3)

[CCSCO]

This is nighttime, Michael.

[Deleted]

OK then, I gotta keep protecting my car!  Let's get some big bucks & a spin now!  STOP!!!  (15)

Stop at Go back two spaces to $10,000 and a spin! (cheers and applause)



It seems Matt's podium has just frozen (GifMaker has crashed). Don't worry, we don't forget that you have the third-million token attached to your score.

Just over forty grand for you, Michael, and two mandatory spins left. Second-to-last one... (board starts spinning)

[Deleted]

Two more spins to protect my car!  Let's make them count!  STOP!!!  (6)

Stop at a whammy. (groans)

I'm bowling for bucks, and it's a STRIKE! Uh-oh... (before a giant bowl crushes the whammy)



Seems Matt's scoreboard has been fixed.

Over $40,000 of winnings down the drain unfortunately, including a car. You have to start from scratch with 3 spins. Your last passed spin has been moved to the earned column. I know that's not relevant, but I have to ask you: press or pass?

[Deleted]

Hey Matt!  You're number one!  (I flip the bird to Matt)

(audience laughter & applause)

Anyway, I'll press on.  Let's get that big bucks & a spin again!  STOP!!!  (13)

Do you want a motorcycle, $7,000 or $3,000 and a spin?

No, I cannot give you the kind of motorcycle.
