 A big FIVE! Nice! He moves up to the $9,000 space now...  Now your bank is at $13,000 Antonio! But the 5 now is turned red.  So you want to avoid 4 and 5 on this next roll if you can...  To have a chance at the $100,000, you must roll a 2 or 3 here, as that combination totals 5, and that's how many spaces are left to reach Boardwalk, Roll again and good luck Antonio! (select a number higher than 0 but lower than 25 please). |

Okay we're wanting a 2 or a 3 to keep you in the running for $100,000 Antonio. A six won't help, but if a six is rolled, that too will be turned red. A one will get you more money, but will put you out of the running for the $100,000. 2 or 3! 2 or 3!!!!  Drat! That's a previously rolled number, however, I'll take away the "ROLL AGAIN" token...  And now comes decision time Antonio. You may quit right now with a $13,000 bank, knowing you'll be going home with at least half of that, and winding up in second place today, or you can gamble and roll again. If your next roll of the die is 4 or 5, you will lose everything. On the other hand, if you can roll a 2 and a 3, you'll get to $100,000. What do you want to do Antonio? |

Come on 2 or 3!!!  A 1, it's a good roll...  He's now up to $10,000 which we'll add to your bank...  ' You're now at $23,000 however the 1 is now turned red, and now three rolls will lose your $23,000 bank. A 2 or a 3 will add more money to your bank, however, no combination of the remaining numbers will get you exactly on Boardwalk. Antonio, do you wish to quit now, being guaranteed at least half of that $23,000 and second place for tonight, or do you want to risk it? Remember, Raymond has a $38,000 bank, and the best you can do at this point is $36,000, so you'll remain in second place if you rolled a 2 or a 3 next. |

And I can hardly blame you Antonio!
$23,000 banked, you're guaranteed to go home with at least half that amount.
When we return, all three of our contestants will compete against one another to determine who gets to keep ALL of their banked money, and that winner will play for a million!
Back with "The Great Land Grab", right after these announcements!

(applause)  Welcome back to the Monopoly Millionaires' Club. We played three fun games to determine placement in this, the deciding game, "The Great Land Grab"! Raymond, you banked the most tonight so you'll have the advantage of passing two properties down, one to each player. Antonio, you banked the second most, so you will be able to pass one property selection down to Matt who finished third tonight. The winner of this game keeps all of the money that they banked and moves on to play for $1,000,000! (applause) Matt, even though you have $0 banked from your game, the winner of THIS game will receive 25 times the total they accumulate in this game, plus all the money they banked from their earlier game. Runners-up take home half the money they banked, and Matt if you do not finish first here, we'll still pay you 5 times the amount of money you accumulate in this round. Let's gaze upon the game board:  Hidden behind each of these 28 numbered boxes is one of the Monopoly properties, including all 4 railroads and both utilities. Raymond, you will select first and once we reveal which property you have selected and its value, you'll have the option to keep that property, or to pass it down to Antonio or Matt. You will continue selecting until you have filled up your line with six properties in total. The total of those six properties will be kept on the tote board below your name. If you should so happen to get a Monopoly however, the value of those properties will then double, so in addition to intuition, some strategy is involved as well. Once Raymond fills out his line, Antonio will play next, and finally Matt. Raymond, if you haven't any questions, please select a number and we'll begin! |

The age my son turned only yesterday, 18...  Kentucky Avenue, $220.  As you can see by the arrow, Kentucky is on the north side of the board, second highest amounts on that row. High rent is the right side of the board with the green and blue properties, red and yellow are the next highest valued properties as you can see by the board here. Do you want to keep Kentucky Avenue Raymond? If so, select another number. If you want to pass Kentucky Avenue, please indicate if you want to pass it to Antonio or Matt. |

I'll keep it and go with 12.

 I dare say that is a good keep. Number 12 coming up...  Wow an even more expensive one, Marvin Gardens $280!  There's the arrow showing you where Marvin Gardens is. You want to keep that as well Raymond? |

Yes and let's go with 3.

 Two very good and valuable properties already, the advantage of a first place finish. Remember if you capture all 3 of a color (or both of the brown or dark blue set), those values double. Number 3 for Raymond is...  (train sound effect) The Pennsylvania Railroad! My home state. All railroads are worth $200 Raymond. You may elect to keep that or pass it.  Here's the status board, and you can compare the $200 value of a Railroad with the remaining values of other properties to aid in your decision making Raymond. |

Wow, okay, a bit surprising to me, but then again no, as you are trying to keep available to you the chance at a Monopoly or two to double the values of those red or yellow properties perhaps...  And you have one pass left, which would go to Matt, if that comes to pass of course...  Raymond, which number this time? |

Post by billmcdee on Jul 29, 2017 7:50:28 GMT -5
What does 26 have tonight?  Vermont Avenue, one of the three light blue properties, second least valuable property set on the board. You have one more pass which you can use Raymond. Do you want to keep that or pass it off to Matt? If you elect to pass it, I'll ask you to select 4 more numbers, and those will fill out your property line. |

I'll keep it and try 17

 Hmm, curiouser and curiouser... 17...  (train whistle) Ah, another railroad, the Reading. Keeping that one or passing it Raymond? |

pass it and let's go for 11

Wow passing up another $200 property.... Matt that's yours now.  No more passes for Raymond now. Number 11 he wants...  Oh boy! The big one, Boardwalk!  That takes you to $1,000 even and two more numbers to choose. You can choose both of them now in fact. If you can get Park Place, you'd get $350 for it plus an added $750 for having that dark blue Monopoly!  Select your last two numbers please Raymond. |

And behind those numbers are...  Whoa!!! North Carolina Avenue and Atlantic Avenue! (applause)  Raymond, $1,560 in total land grabs, an excellent round, in spite of no monopoly being formed. It's going to be very difficult for your challengers to do so as well... If your $1,560 holds up Raymond, we'll multiply that by 25 and that will mean another $39,000 for you plus a trip to play for up to $1,000,000 more! Antonio, you've got your work cut out for you to say the least. You do have one pass that you can use remember.  There are the remaining numbers. Which one speaks to you Antonio? |
