Welcome to a TGiF episode of Gambit. In our previous episode, we had to say goodbye to our 5-time champion Matt Ringgenberg. On his final day, he had a total of over $1.9 million in cash and prizes.
Right now, I'm looking for two new players. If any of you wants to join in, please let me know and be on standby. Good luck to both of you.

[ROLLS DICE][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]It's a 9! MOLLIE will now remove the 3 and 6! [DING]MOLLIE: Citizen Matt now has $160,000 including a Gambit Power Chip.

Good luck to you, Lenny. Coming up after the break, we'll begin the first round and see if one of them scores either a 21 or blackjack. We'll begin round 1 when Gambit returns in just a moment. Please stick around, folks... [CLOSING THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial* ==================================================================================

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Welcome back to Gambit. Now that we've gotten to know two new players, please allow me to explain the rules of the game. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over. I'll be giving you multiple choice questions. If you buzz in and answer the question correctly, you'll score $100 and the option of either keeping the card or passing it to your opponent. If at any event if you're on the verge of a bust, you have the right to freeze. Whoever's closer to 21 (whether your opponent is either busted or you have a higher total), earns an additional $500. And whoever wins the best 2 out of 3 rounds will be playing the Beat The Dealer bonus round for up to $1 million. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Let's take at look at the jackpots on my podium. [CASH REGISTER RINGS]The player who has a combination of at least three cards that add a total of 21 wins the Any 21 Jackpot of $5,500. [APPLAUSE]But... if you get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you will win the Blackjack Bonus of $10,000! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]During the commercial break, the guys at RANDOM.ORG have sent our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed for her. Jennifer will now break the seal and show everyone here the first card up for grabs. Jenn...? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is an 8. Tony: Good luck to both of you... here's the first question. Angel in the Hood, Back in the Habit, or The Singing Nun-- What was the subtitle of Sister Act 2?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100.

[TIME-UP BUZZER]Time's up. Patseen have missed the 24 hour deadline. Therefore, he loses his turn and a strike one penalty. Lenny, what is your answer?
|
|
|
Post by redrangerdude on Feb 13, 2018 16:03:54 GMT -5
That would be Back in the Habit.

Post by tmann3x on Feb 13, 2018 17:22:10 GMT -5
Sister Act 2-- Back in the Habit is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]100 bucks for you, Lenny. Do you want to keep the 8 or pass it to Patseen?

Post by redrangerdude on Feb 13, 2018 19:07:03 GMT -5
I'll pass the 8.

Lenny is keeping the card. Jennifer, please reveal Lenny's first card. Jennifer: Sorry, Len... but your first card is a 9. [AUDIENCE GROANS]Tony: Both players will be playing the Any 21 pot this time. The Blackjack Bonus will come back in the second round. Right now, let's continue with round 1 and our next question... Kristi Yamaguchi, Midori Ito, or Nancy Kerrigan-- What woman won the Olympic, US National and world ice skating championships in 1992?

Post by tmann3x on Feb 20, 2018 18:16:38 GMT -5
You need either a 2 or 3. Jennifer, please reveal Patseen's next card. Jennifer: Patseen's next card is a Jack. Tony: Patseen, you now have an 18. Before I read the next question, you have a decision. Do you want to continue the round or freeze?
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Feb 21, 2018 12:09:55 GMT -5
24 HOUR WARNING!
If Patseen fails to make a decision in less than 7 hours, it's an automatic keep.
