Time now for episode 52 of High Rollers. Nels is the champ with a one day total of $44,078. Since Matt R was not able to finish the previous episode, I will allow him to play again if he so chooses. Therefore, I will ask for both Nels and Matt to check in so that we can begin.

Well, I had planned on starting this episode before work; however, my champ is on suspension for a week due to bad behavior in another game. Therefore, this episode is delayed until October 1st

Let's get going here. 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! (cue 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. (Theme fades out) Welcome once again to High Rollers, folks. We had an exciting start to our fourth season yesterday and we hope that today will be just as exciting. Of course, we need players to make this happen so let's introduce them right now.
Rich: Our returning champion is Nels Snesrud, who has a one day total of $44,078. Challenging him today is Matt Riggenberg.
Me: Nels, welcome back to our show. We also want to welcome Matt back. You folks saw him briefly yesterday and then he unexpectedly had to depart in the middle of a game so we have brought him back out of fairness. Matt, remind the folks about yourself and what you do.

Very nice. Now then, at the end of yesterday's show, the three prizes we had in column one were all won so we're starting fresh there. Rich, what are we putting there?
Rich: In column one, we start fresh with new kitchen appliances and cooking lessons. The appliances include a stainless steel range, microwave, french door fridge and dishwasher. We're also including a full year of groceries. And in addition to the appliances, we're also giving you $500 cooking classes. Total retail value: $10,844. In column two, we're adding a trip to Hong Kong. You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Hong Kong for a six night stay in a deluxe room at the Olympian Hong Kong. Daily breakfast is also included. Total retail value: $12,108. And in column three, we're adding a treadmill. From Bowflex, this exercise treadmill includes innovative console. Total retail value: $2699.
Me: Seven prizes up there, all of them totaling $45,636. That's quite a bit of money that someone can win, and let's see how our numbers stack up.
4 7 3
9 8 2
6 1 5
Column three is the hot column this time, so one of you could take home four terrific prizes if the cards fall into place. Here's the first question, players. Many of the plants used to make mustard in factories near Dijon are grown not in France, but in what large country outside of Europe?

Four great prizes for you if you win this game, Nels. Next question coming up. Called the world's most successful board game, it was unveiled in 1935 and has sold more than 200 million copies in 26 languages. What is it?
