I'm happy to be here Tony. I am 23 from the great state of Massachusetts. I am a full-time college student studying early childhood education and I work part-time as a babysitter. In my spare time, I can be found shopping for retro video games, hanging out with friends and hosting net game versions of some of my favorite game shows.

Good luck to you, Matt. Coming up after the break, we'll begin the first round. We'll find out who will win the Any 21 pot or the Blackjack Bonus when Gambit returns after this.

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to the 45th Anniversary of Gambit. Now that we've gotten to know our players, please allow me to explain the rules... The object is to get closer to 21 than your opponent, without going over. I'll be asking you the multiple choice question. Each time you answer it correctly, we'll give you $100. The winner closer to 21 while having your opponent get busted or get the answer wrong on a sudden death gets an additional $500. Let's take a look at the payout board on my podium. [CASH REGISTER RINGS]The player who has at least a combination of three cards that add 21 will win the Any 21 pot of $4,000. [APPLAUSE]But if you have an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you will win the Blackjack Bonus of $15,000! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And before the start of the show, the lab rats at RANDOM.ORG have sent our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 giant sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed for her. Right now, Jennifer is gonna break the seal and begin the first round with the first card up for grabs. Jenn...? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a 5. Tony: Once again... good luck to both of you. Here comes the first question. Brother, Mother, or Sister-- What relationship to Melissa Joan Hart was the developer and executive producer of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch"?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

Mother?

Post by tmann3x on Dec 29, 2017 20:37:21 GMT -5
Mother is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]100 bucks for you. Do you want to keep the 5 or pass it to Frankie? |

Post by mringgenberg on Dec 29, 2017 20:47:09 GMT -5
I'll Pass It.

Matt passes his 5 to Frankie. Jennifer won't reveal the next card unless one of you answers this question correctly. Here's the next question... Prayer Services, The Health Club, or The Internet-- Which of these is quickly overtaking singles bars as the place to meet? |

It was The Health Club. $100 goes to the challenger. [DING]Frankie, you now have a decision to make. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Matt? |
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Jan 1, 2018 22:31:16 GMT -5
I'll take the next card.

Post by tmann3x on Jan 2, 2018 9:17:25 GMT -5
Jennifer, please reveal Frankie's next card. Jennifer: Frankie's next card is a 10. Tony: Frankie... you now have a total of 15. Before I read the next question, you have a decision. Do you want to continue the round or freeze? |
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Jan 2, 2018 10:42:56 GMT -5
I'm going to freeze.
|
|
|

Post by tmann3x on Jan 2, 2018 13:43:21 GMT -5
And Jennifer will now place the freeze marker on Frankie's 15. Matt... you need to get a 16 to win the first round of the match. You must answer each and every question right in order to stay in the round. If at any time that your answer is incorrect, Frankie wins round 1 and an additional $500. Here's your next question. Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons, or Houston Rockets-- What team became 1994's NBA champions by defeating New York Knicks, 4-3? |

Post by mringgenberg on Jan 2, 2018 14:11:09 GMT -5
Houston Rockets

|
|
Post by tmann3x on Jan 2, 2018 18:28:20 GMT -5
The Houston Rockets is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]You now have 200 bucks. Jennifer... please reveal Matt's first card. Jennifer: Matt's first card is a Joker! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]If you win this round, you will also win a very special prize. Next question... Lawrence Taylor, Lou Ferrigno, or Mr. T-- To what did the bulky Lawrence Tero change his name? |
|
|
|
Post by mringgenberg on Jan 2, 2018 20:49:24 GMT -5
Mr. T
|
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Jan 4, 2018 13:47:23 GMT -5
Actor, singer, voice talent... Mr. T is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]Jennifer, please reveal Matt's next card. Jennifer: It's a 9. [AUDIENCE GROANS, APPLAUSE]Tony: The Blackjack Bonus is now out of play for both contestants. However, it's gonna come back in our next round. Matt, you still have a chance to win the Any 21 pot of $4,000. You need at least a 7 in order to win the first round of the match. Next question... Badger, Skunk, or Wolf-- What is the common name of a Canis Lupus? |
|
|
|
Post by mringgenberg on Jan 4, 2018 17:32:50 GMT -5
Badger?

Post by tmann3x on Jan 4, 2018 20:06:33 GMT -5
Matt... ..it was the wolf. Frankie wins round 1. [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Frankie now has a cash total of $600. Matt... had you gotten that answer right, this could have been your next card. Jennifer...? [LOUDER GROAN AND BOOS FROM AUDIENCE]You could have gotten a win and a prize. Don't worry, Matt... because you still have a chance to tie the game and could possibly win the Blackjack Bonus. [APPLAUSE]When we come back, we'll be playing the second round. We'll find out if Matt survives and go into a tie breaker... or Frankie becomes our new champion and play Beat The Dealer. We'll be back with more of Gambit right after we pause for 2 minutes while you watch some very important messages. Stay with us...
