The first episode was a moderate success. So let's play it again!
This next episode I may take a few more liberties with existing games from my production partner's libraries. The endgames will remain the same...with a possible jackpot of cash and prizes worth over $1,100,000 available to anyone who gets lucky and can successfully crack the safe. That said...I need audience members who want to win it big!
The lines are open until Friday Night (March 16th) at 7pm. Then the show will start. Who's in?

 V/O YOU'RE WATCHING NBC!Randy: Tonight! Four more contestants are going to play the most exciting games, take the greatest risks and if luck is on their side go on to play for a jackpot of prizes, including a cash prize of $300,000!!! Over 1.1 Million dollars just waiting to be won on Steve's Big Night! Now here he is.....Steve Anderson!Welcome to Steve's Big Night! I am your host, and due to a reduction in budget after last week's players taking us to the cleaners...My wardrobe is now furnished by Botany "150" Did you know that the Kraft company came up with a new diet salad dressing lately? It's called 200 islands. *applause*
There's a new push this week for the Democrat party to do away with SuperDelegates for the next Presidential election cycle, saying that there was too much power in the hands of a few and that 30% got to put their fingers on the scale before the public got a chance to vote. Bernie thanks you, but too little too late.
Anywho...We need a player for our first game, and its.......GREG PALMER!!! Come on up! *Greg runs on stage*
___[$200][$300]
[$300][$500][$200]
___[$300][$200]
Greg, welcome to our stage. In a moment you will be playing Vortex II. It's a game in which a little luck could go a long way. Right now, tell everyone watching a bit about yourself? |

Well, I'm a data entry specialist for a school photography studio in Durham, NC. One day, I'd like to leave that job and work for an actual TV studio. It's great to be here.

Well if you win enough tonight, you might be able to go in for yourself. You can win a lot of money in this game. We call it Vortex II because we’ve changed a few things from that game on a certain Massachusetts Lotto Game Show from the 90s. In this version you’ll have a chance to wager some or all of your money on the result of these 7 balls. They start in a straight line on the edge of our playing area and when released will spin around the vortex until coming to rest in a manner similar to what was shown when you came on stage. In this first part, we will determine How much money you will start with. Could be $200,$300, or $500. There’s 3 200s, 3 300s and 1 500. (choose a number 1-7 to determine the result ) Go ahead and push that lever and let em roll!

The balls are spinning around....and now they are starting to slow down...... It's the ball in the middle that determines your stake..

$300! (Applause) This means that we stake you with $300. This you will draw from as we play 5 more rounds of Vortex II. Let's see the balls that are coming out now into the board:
[WIN!][WIN!][WIN!][WX3!][WX3!][LOSE][LOSE]
You'll notice 3 orange balls that say "Win!" 2 green balls that say "Win Triple" and 2 red balls that say "Lose Bet" In each wager during the first 4 stages you can bet in increments of $50 on the result of the pull. On stage 5 you'll have the option to stop playing and keep your winnings, but if you play stage 5 the wager must be at least half your stake at that point.
For instance, if you bet the whole $300 on this turn, you would either win $600 if the Orange ball lands in the middle, or $900 if the Green lands in the middle. If the "Lose" comes up, you would lose your $300. On the first 3 levels, if you bet everything and lose, you would go to Zero BUT you would be staked with a new $300. On Level 4 and 5 a bust would be, well a bust. However, if you bet the lot on each turn, and have the optimal outcome on each pull...You can win as much as $144,000 in this game! (Audience) (WOOoOOOOO) Ok let's give Greg his $300 (Ding!)
Bank: $300
How much will you bet on this pull?

BANK: $900
We give you $300 for landing the Win ball in the middle AND $300 seed money for Level 2 and that gives you $900! *Applause*
Now we take a look at the Balls sliding into the gate for level 2
[WIN!][WIN!][WX3!][WX4!][LOSE][LOSE][LOSE]
You'll notice that the odds are a little less in your favor than before. We now have 4 balls that will pay off to you. 2 Win balls. 1 Triple ball and 1 Quadruple ball. If you were to put up your entire $900 stake....
Win= +$900 (+300 seed $) Total $2100
WX3= +$2700 (+300 seed $) Total $3000
WX4= +$3600 (+300 seed $) Total $3900
Lose= BUST (+300 seed $) Total $300
You can choose to hold some money back for level 3 and 4. Or you can put up your whole stake. It's up to you...How much of your $900 will you risk?

Another win!
$750 more gives you $1,650. We add $300 to the stake to give you $1,950
The next level works the same as the last except the x4 is replaced with a x5
[WIN!][WIN!][WX3!][WX5!][LOSE][LOSE][LOSE]
With a good bet and a lucky roll you could get near $10,000 total after this turn. How much will you put up on this turn?

Well done! We will triple that $950 to give you $2,850. Plus $300 more to the stake and the $1000 you held back gives you a bank of
BANK:$4,150
Now the decision gets a little interesting. We look at the Balls in play
[Win!][Win!][Win!][Lose][Lose][Lose][Lose]
There are 3 win spheres and 4 lose spheres. The odds are now not in your favor. What ever you risk will be paid back at even odds. So if you went for it all...You'd get $8,300 or nothing. Potentially in the game if you double here and double on the next round you can still win a total of $16,600. On level 5 IF you play it you'd have to risk half your money.
How will you play it out of your $4,150?

The player in first place gets to pick first in the bonus round. Then 2nd, 3rd, 4th
(On the regular episodes now, we work similar to the "Cash Explosion" Game. 12 cards representing the player's names are revealed one at a time. The first name to be revealed 3 times is the winner and plays for the whole 1.1 Million Dollar Jackpot in the "Combination Lock" game)

Oh well. Now, this is just a thought. If the odds aren't in my favor, why are you offering even money?

Post by asja2002 on Mar 31, 2018 20:35:48 GMT -5
(First time rewriting this game, was trying to keep an average expected payout of $50000 per game, since each of the games have different elements and didn’t want to penalize players for order of selection.)
(Assistant producers pull me aside to discuss the gameplay...I come back)
Resume tape now!
Here’s where we are at. You have $4150. You’ll have a couple of choices in how you play this round. This will be the last round of the game (Level 5 is wonkier than this one was) The distribution remains 3 green 4 red. If you bet less than half, then you play for even odds. If you bet over half ($2100) to $4100...Then you play for triple. If you bet everything, then you play for 5 times your stake.

You're welcome! Who knows? That might be enough to have an advantage in the bonus challenge. But for now, a commercial break and when we return, 5 of a kind means big bucks! You'll see what we mean after the break!
*Applause,fade out*
