On April 20th, "Gambit" makes its return. In our previous episode, James Greek is our champion. In just one day, he has a total of $41,325 in cash and prizes. Right now, I'm looking for a challenger to go one on one against James. If you want to join in and defeat the champ, please let me know. Once again, this episode will go on the air first thing tomorrow.

I'm sure you'll find one soon. While the champ comtemplates, we'll pause for a commercial. When our program returns, we'll begin the first round and see if one of them wins either Any 21 or the Blackjack Bonus. All those answers (and questions) are coming up when Gambit returns after this. Stick around. [CLOSING THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial* ================================================================================== |

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to Gambit's 45th Anniversary. Now that we've gotten to know our players, please allow me to explain the rules... I'll be asking you a multiple choice question. If you're right, we'll give you $100 and a decision. Be careful... because if your answer is incorrect, your opponent scores the 100 bucks and a decision. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 than your opponent (without going over). The winner earns an additional $500. But wait... there's more. Please take a look at the big money board on my podium. [CASH REGISTER RINGS]If you get a combination of at least three cards, you'll win the Any 21 pot worth $3,000. [APPLAUSE]But if get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you'll win the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Before the start of the show, the lab rats at RANDOM.ORG made a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut and sealed. And during the commercial break, they have sent the cards to Jennifer as she breaks the seal. We now begin round 1 with the first card up for grabs. Jenn...? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a Jack. [MORE CHEERS, APPLAUSE]Tony: Good luck to both of you. Here comes the first question... San Francisco, Chicago, or San Diego-- In what city was "Father Dowling Mysteries" set?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

The correct answer was Chicago. Sam wins 100 bucks by default. [DING]Sam... since you've won the question by default, do you want to keep the Jack or pass it to James? |

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]The challenger is keeping his Jack. And if Sam's next card is an Ace, he'll win the $17,500 Blackjack Bonus and the first game of the match. This time, Jennifer will not be revealing the next card until someone wins the next question. Here it comes... Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, or Rush Limbaugh-- Who wrote "God Bless America"?[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

James is keeping his card. Jennifer, please reveal James's first card. Jennifer: Amazing! James's first card is an Ace! [LOUD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]James... if your next card is either a 10 or a face card, you'll win the $17,500 Blackjack Bonus and the first round of the match. Next question comin' up... John Elway, Warren Moon, or Ken Stabler-- With 33 touchdowns and 4,689 yds. passing, what Houston QB led the AFC in 1990? |

[TIME UP BUZZER]James has missed the 24 hour deadline. Strike one on the champ. If he misses two more deadlines, his championship will be null and void and a new contestant will replace him. Sam... you get to answer the question free of charge.

Hmm... I can tell that there's a 15 in 50 chance there's a card that does ten. 3 in 50 chance of getting a ace...
So... I'll take it.

If your next card is an Ace, you'll win the $17,500 Blackjack Bonus and the first game of the match. Jennifer, please reveal Sam's next card. Jennifer: Sam, your next card is-- *reveals card... slowly* --a Jack. [AUDIENCE GROANS, APPLAUSE]Tony: The good news is that you have a 20. Before I read the next question, you have a decision to make. Do you want to continue the round or freeze? |

[CHEERS, APPLAUSE] You're right, Sam... it is gonna be a close one. The challenger is now freezing on his 20. James... you should know there are no ties in Gambit. The only way for you to beat Sam's 20 is a 21. If you get the answer right and your next card is either a 10 or face card, you'll win the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500 and the first game of the match. You must answer each and every question correctly in order to stay in the game. If at any event that your answer is incorrect, Sam wins the round and $500. Here's your next question... Family Law, One and Only, or Touched by an Angel-- What CBS show, which stars Della Reese, also has a hit soundtrack album with songs by Della Reese, Celine Dion, Winonna and Faith Hill? |
