Kevin Kolsen returns as champ with $29,968 and we need an opponent for him. If you'd like to play, sign up here.
(Josh Allington was the last player, so I need to ask him to sit this one out. Also, the Big Numbers jackpot is at $70,000 this episode)

All deadlines are 48 hours and here we go.
(cue intro)
Rich: And now, a game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last! High Rollers! (1987 theme) And here's the man with all of the action, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you very much, Rich. (Theme fades out) Welcome to another exciting edition of High Rollers, folks. I really hope that today will be the day that we finally end our cash jackpot drought in the Big Numbers. We've got $70,000 up for grabs in our end game today and I really hope one of our players can win it. Let's find out right now who those players are.
Rich: Our returning champion is an accountant from Long Island, welcome back Kevin Kolsen! Kevin's one day total is $29,968 and challenging him today is Matt Riggenberg.
Me: Welcome back to our show, Matt. Now since we're starting a brand new calendar year, do you think we can get a Big Numbers win today?

Well let's hope so. We've got some good prizes for the two of you in today's first game so let's find out what they are.
Rich: In column one, a set of men's golf clubs! This 19 piece set comes with all the different clubs needed for a fun round of golf and retails for $1300. In column two, a trip to San Diego. You and a guest will fly round trip coach to San Diego, California for a two night stay in a double room at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego. Daily breakfast is included. Retail value: $2,150. And in column three, a pair of scooters. From Piaggio, these Liberty 150 scooters include 155cc engine, continuous variable transmission, anti-lock braking system and Bluetooth helmets. Retail value: $6398
Me: Total board value for this first game comes out to $9,849 and here come the numbers.
6 3 4
7 5 2
9 8 1
Roll of a seven will get you those scooters and here comes the first question. What is the largest city on Vancouver Island in British Columbia?

That city would be Victoria. All right, let's see if we fare better with this one. In which country were Venetian blinds invented?

You would think so, considering that Venice is located there, but it's actually Japan where they were invented. So that means Matt has the first roll of the day.

It took four years to build that bridge. Perhaps we can do better with this next one. Which 1993 Bill Murray film had an animal name in the title?
