Sorry folks, but I was busier than expected the last few days. Nonetheless, we will get going right now. 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 main theme) And here's the man with all the action, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you very much, Rich Fields, and welcome once again to High Rollers. (Theme fades out) You like games involving skill and strategy? If so, you've come to the right place because we've got plenty of that plus more on our little show we call High Rollers. We've also got contestants so let's find out right now who they are.
Rich: Our returning champion works in a tax office in Long Island, please welcome back Kevin Kolsen! Kevin has a one day total of $16,208 and challenging him today is Anthony Long.
Me: Hello there, Anthony. It's a delight to have you with us on our program today. Tell the folks a little bit about yourself.

Well, I'm from originally Spartanburg, South Carolina. Now I live in Chesnee, South Carolina for 14 years. I loved every moment. I collect trading cards, do stats, and play games.

Well we wish you the best of luck here today, Anthony. Now Rich Fields is going to tell both of you about some prizes that you could win today starting off with column one.
Rich: In column one, we have a trip to Spain! You and a guest will fly round trip coach to Madrid, Spain for a six night stay in a deluxe room at the Dear Hotel Madrid. Daily breakfast is included. This prize is worth $9,345. In column two, a barbecue island. From Patio Resort Lifestyles, this barbecue island includes grill, fridge and umbrella. This prize is worth $9,973. And in column three, a trip to South Africa. You and a companion will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to George, South Africa and then from there, you'll head to Plaettenberg for a six night stay in a luxury double room at the Plettenberg Hotel. Daily breakfast is included along with a guided hike through a wonderful nature reserve. This prize is worth $13,713. The total value of the board for game one comes out to $33,031!
Me: And let's take a look at how the numbers line up.
4 2 5
7 8 1
3 9 6
And our hot column for this round is column three, so one of you could be on your way to South Africa if the stars align properly for you. Now then, here's our first question. The Gates of Paradise were created by 15th century sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti for the cathedral in what artistic city?

No sir, it was Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. Hence the Eiffel Tower. Kevin, the bad numbers are 6 and 9 and you may roll or pass.
