Crag: The Numbers Game (Syn., Episode 35)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on a 6.

(ding) (scattered groans)

Stop on a 6. Dice total 14. Bryan, you'd obviously lose if you stopped here.

As we prepare for the reroll, a reminder that you need something better than a straight to force a third game.

[Bryan]

I’ll shoot for the CRAG. Freeze the 6’s. A.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

All right. A triple will serve you well as well. Let's freeze the sixes.

(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

First number rerolls. Let see what happens.

(ding) (audience groans)

It's a 3. Total of 15 points.

Not enough for the win. Antonio's still our champion.

(dings; audience cheers)

Antonio, congratulations, $6000 for this match -- with a chance to win more.

Bryan, valiant effort -- especially here at the end. Unless the powers that be spot something unusual, Antonio won this rematch fair and square. You did win $1000 in this rematch. Total winnings -- $4500. The money and this applause are all yours.

(audience cheers)

Antonio, winner's board time. Which of these letters hides $5000?

[gameshowfan1986]

Great Job, Bryan! You had me down to the wire.

I'll choose R...

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nice to see the sportsmanship at the end of the match. Let's see if we see $5000 behind R?

(dings; audience audience applause)

$2500 instead.

Total for the day -- $8500. Where was the five grand?

(ding)

The G. We'll return with Antonio at the Super Crag -- after this.

(WGYN theme plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

We're back -- and so is Antonio. Well played games in the match -- and now it's time for the Super Crag.

Antonio, please greet Havana, today's dice girl. She has your Super Crag dice. The dice in the cup are smaller in comparison to the dice we've been rolling since the tournament started -- but the stakes are bigger than those of the main games we played.

Since you won $2500 from the winner's board...

(ding)

... we're starting a pot with a different $2500. Every time you want to play Super Crag, you roll all three dice. Every good roll means you'll win more money based on the roll's value in hundreds of dollars.

The 20-point straights are now worth $2000 each. Roll any triple -- and you'll win $2500. Roll a 13 in any combination for $2600 -- *BUT* if that combination of 13 has a pair of a particular number in it, that's a Crag for $5000.

(audience cheers)


(rolling sfx)

Antonio, your primary objective is to build up the pot to at least $10,000. Have more than 10 grand in the pot -- and you win tonight's super bonus *of*...

(dings; audience cheers)

...a big one! $75,000.

However -- if you're really lucky and can rack up an exact total of $10,000, you become our third millionaire this week -- by winning the mega bonus of $1,000,000.

(audience cheers)

By then, you and our tournament finalists will each own a third of this studio. (scattered laughter from the crowd) As before, every roll comes with a risk -- as Havana will show us.

(scattered boos)

One number on that cube has been replaced with that dirty rotten gremlin. If he comes up, you lose everything in the Super Crag. So after every safe roll, I'll give you a chance to stop.

You *may* stop right now, take $2500 and call it a weekend -- or risk the four large and roll.

(audience shouts suggestions)

(Antonio, if you wish to risk and roll, please respond with a number from 1-100. You'll see the result of that roll and the next few down the list so long as you have less than $10,000 in the pot, not stop the game and not roll the losing gremlin.)

[gameshowfan1986]

28

[dougmorrisontheair]

(I zigged when I should've zagged. I erroneously put a $4000 head start in the pot -- it's actually $2500. Antonio, with that clarified, still want to risk and roll? If yes, we'll start rolling from Set #28.)

[gameshowfan1986]

I'm still rolling...

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

All right. Havana's crossing her fingers for you. We're all rooting for you. Good luck and give 'em a good roll.

(Antonio shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp)

(scattered cheers; a few groan)

Yeah -- a triple or a Crag would've been nice -- and you got close either way.

$1400 roll bring the pot up to $3900.

You may stop here and keep the cash -- or risk that money on your second roll.

(audience shouts suggestions)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio.)

[gameshowfan1986]

I'm risking and rolling with number 32...

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: 'Fraid we go the next roll down the list -- Set 29 in this case.]

(audience cheers)

Rolling again. Second roll coming up. Good luck.

(Antonio shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp)

(more cheers)

Three threes. Triple of any number puts $2500 more in the pot.

$6400 in the pot. Stop and keep the money -- or risk it all on the third roll?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[gameshowfan1986]

Another Roll!

#6

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: 'Fraid we go the next roll down the list -- Set 30 in this case.]

(audience cheers)

All right, champ. A $1600 roll would be nice now.  That way you'd need a straight for the million Good luck, Antonio.

(Antonio shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp)

(more cheers)

Well -- a 14 instead. Pot's now up to $7800. Still need a couple of lucky rolls for the million. One gremlin wipes out the 7800.

Stop and keep the money -- or risk and roll again?

(audience shouts suggestions)

---

[Antonio, if you roll again, you'll see the 31st roll in the list -- and we go "down the list" from there.]

[gameshowfan1986]

Another Roll!

#54

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: 'Fraid we go the next roll down the list -- Set 31 in this case.]

(audience cheers)

Champ keeps on keeping on.

(Antonio shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp)

(more cheers)

Niner for $900 more. (scattered groans) Yes, I know. Antonio, welcome to one of the cruel realities of the Super Crag. You're $1300 away from the million -- but as in the main game, any combination of 13 awards more than 13 points. Here, you'd go over the top with a Crag or a non-Crag 13.

With that, you're still at least a couple of low and lucky rolls from the million. Fifth roll coming up if you take it. Do you?

(audience shouts suggestions)

---

[Antonio, if you roll again, you'll see the 32nd roll in the list -- and we go "down the list" from there.]

[gameshowfan1986]

Go Big or Go Home! I'm rolling...

#4

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: 'Fraid we go the next roll down the list -- Set 32 in this case.]

(audience cheers)

Go big or go home. Words like that make bigger and better hotels in Vegas. (scattered laughter from crowd) Seriously, good luck and let 'em roll.

(Antonio shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp)

Over the top for the win!

(dings; alarm sounds; audience cheers; win music plays)

$10,100 in the pot and a $75,000 super bonus for you, Antonio.

If that next-to-last roll for $900 had been worth $800, you'd be our third millionaire in three shows.

But I don't think you'll complain too loudly about a $75,000 win, right?

[gameshowfan1986]

Right!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Yeah, these numbers are great.

Antonio, in this show alone, you more than doubled your winnings. You won -- between the numbers games, the winner's board and Super Crag -- more than $93,000.

(audience cheers)

Total winnings for *three* matches...

(audience cheers)

...$181,800. Antonio, have a great weekend. We'll see you Monday.

After the week we've had, you'd think we'd run out of money by now. But thankfully not. We'll give someone in the audience a chance at $15,000 after this.

(WGYN theme plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, we're going to wrap up "this week" (and likely the year in Crag, sorry to say; but more Crag comes in 2019) with our version of the dice game Pig.

Next person to respond who didn't play the main numbers games gets to play.

[nelson17]

I'll play

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to Crag. We're about to play our own version of Pig with our audience game player, Nels Snesrud.

(more cheers)

Nels, before we begin, please tell us about yourself.

[nelson17]

I'm a cashier at target who loves to bowl

[dougmorrisontheair]

Casher at Targe'. We'll be expecting a plethora of gift cards in the mail.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Nels, you're going to play our version of Crag. Here's how it works.

(rolling sfx)

You'll be playing only with the center number that's rolling right now. All you have to do is stop on a number higher than 1.

(ding)

Like I just did -- a 6. Nels, every time you don't roll a 1, you win that number in hundreds of dollars. So, that roll of 6 would pay $600. But if you roll a 1, that the pig's number and you lose everything. So after a successful roll, I'll give you a chance to stop.

If you can score at least $1500, we'll multiply your total winnings by ten -- for a bare minimum of $15,000.

(audience cheers)

(rolling sfx)

Best of luck, Nels, with your first roll.

---

[Nels, much like the main numbers games, stop the roll with a letter between A and F inclusive.]

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Nels.)

[nelson17]

Roll

[nelson17]

A c d

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Remember, you're rolling just one of the three Crag dice. I'll take your first letter of A and ignore the other letters.]

---

(ding)

Stop on a 2 for $200.

(scattered applause)

Nels, you may stop here and keep the $200 -- or roll again.

(audience shouts suggestions)
