 $1,750 more! (applause)  James now has $11,750 at stake, Frank at $5,550. Next question, getting down to the nitty gritty players... In what year did the Portuguese discover the Azores? Was it before or after 1492? www.dougmorris.net/dice/HR78_BUZZIN.mp3 James, you're in first. Was it before or after 1492? |

It happened in 1427! Just a bit before!
James, you control the board. Do you want to play or pass?

Alrighty Frank, it's your board...
7, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23 and 24
9 are safe, one has that last Fool's Gold card.
What number will it be?

Will this be it? Number 7...  Another prize! This time it's that lovely Refrigerator/Freezer, valued at $1,625. We add that to your score Frank...  You now have $7,175 in cash and prizes, James $11,750 all cash, and our next toss up question... Angel Falls in Venezuela is the world's highest waterfall. Is it more or less than 3,500 feet tall? www.dougmorris.net/dice/HR78_BUZZIN.mp3 Frank, is the correct answer more or less? |

Is it less than 3,500 feet? YES 3,212!!!  Frank, just nine boxes remain now, eight are safe, one is the Fool's Gold. Do you want to play it or pass it? There is still one money card up there that could be worth up to $10,000. |

This is a big one. If 17 has that last Fool's Gold card, Frank will be the winner. Anything else, and the game will continue. Under 17...  A cash card! James, you know the drill. Which bill do you take this time? |

The bottom

Post by billmcdee on Mar 31, 2018 12:49:49 GMT -5
And the bottom this time is...  Another $3,000 in cash!  Both players with a nice size bank, James up close to $15,000 and a bit more than double Frank's current total of $7,175. Let's look at the next question...  Are there more or less than 128 ridges on the outside of a United States dime? www.dougmorris.net/dice/HR78_BUZZIN.mp3 Frank, your answer please... |

I'll say less.

Frank is locking in with LESS... (ding)  And just how many ridges are on a US dime? IS it more or is it less than 128?   It IS less! 118! (applause) Frank, you control the board.  Now just eight boxes remain, all but one are safe. The odds would be 7 to 1 in your favor if you elect to play. You have passed before to James. What do you want to do now? |

James, the proverbial ball is back in your court once again. 7 cards are safe, one will lose for you. What number do you take this time? |

Number 22, the double deuce. Anything other than Fool's Gold and the game continues.  OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! And Frank Sartori becomes the first champion on Fool's Gold! (applause)  Frank, you kept on passing control of the board, and finally that strategy paid off for you to the tune of $7,175 in cash and prizes. James, you played magnificently, unfortunately you discovered that last Fool's Gold card. We have some very nice parting gifts for you, and may I say I am very grateful that you appeared on this, our very first episode of Gold Rush! A very nice round of applause for James Greek! (cheering & applause) Thank you James! Well Frank, you've already won $5,550 in cash plus this, Burton? Burton Richardson: You have just won this… Refrigerator Freezer! (applause)  Burton Richardson: From Kenmore, this 24.9 cubit foot refrigerator/freezer puts the fresh food you use most at eye level for easy access. From milk to produce and everything in between, the versatile storage options like full-width shelves, humidity-controlled crispers and removable door bins make it easy to store groceries and removable door bins make it easy to store groceries and leftovers. $1,625! Burton Richardson: Okay Bill!  Frank and I will be heading over to the Bonus Bonanza board, and when we return, Frank's going to try to win the Super Gold Jackpot which tonight is valued at...get this... $250,000 in cash!!! (Wild cheers & applause) We'll be back in a moment to see if he can take it home, more Gold Rush in a moment! (applause & cheers) |

(applause)  Hello there! I am back with our first champion Frank Sartori. Frank, you have $7,175 in cash and prizes, those are yours to keep no matter what, and no matter what happens in the next few minutes, you will be returning on tomorrow night's show to take on a new challenger. But for now, it's time to rush on over and play the Gold Rush Bonus Bonanza game! Let's go! ($ale of the Century music from 1988 used when the winner played the Winner's Big Money Game)  Welcome to the Bonus Bonanza, Frank. This time you'll be playing with a board of 15 numbered squares. This time, there are three sets of 3 matching symbols on the board. All you have to do is match one set of three, and you will win at the very least, $25,000 in cash. If you do succeed in matching 3 like symbols, the cash award attached to the winning pick will be yours. We have one prize each of $25,000, $30,000, $35,000, $40,000, $45,000, $50,000, $75,000, and $100,000 attached to the 9 symbols, but attached to one is the SUPER GOLD card. If you win this game tonight, and the SUPER GOLD card is attached to your winning pick, you will win the SUPER GOLD Jackpot which tonight is worth... $250,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Wild cheers and applause) Yes, a quarter of a million dollars Frank! Incidentally, should you match 3 winning symbols on your first 3 picks, you will also win the Super Gold jackpot as well!!! (more cheering and applause) It's not an easy thing to do however. You must match three WINNING symbols. As in the main game, there again lurks 5 Fool's Gold cards up on the board. This time however, if you uncover 3 Fool's Gold cards before you match 3 winning symbols, the game ends right then and there. To help you out, there is also one card that contains a gold shield. I'll explain more about that later should the need arise. Frank, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask now. If not, please select a number and good luck going for the gold! |

Please let there be another Gold Mine under number 4! (flip)  Oh no! That's your first Fool's Gold! You might still win the Super Gold Jackpot of course too. Try again Frank, we don't want to see another Fool's Gold. |

Number 14 is...  The Ol' Prospector! Find either 2 more of him or 2 more Gold Mines to win. Which number next Frank? (Saw your post about exams and school, so no worries, make your next pick when you're ready). |
