So Frank... what was your experience after winning your second Blackjack Bonus during your 4 wins?

Post by grapebuy789 on Dec 27, 2018 19:17:33 GMT -5
I was honestly surprised. I can't believe I'm back here again.

And if you win two more games, you'll be driving home in a brand new automobile and have a chance at playing the "Gambit Galaxy" for $1 million. Good luck to you, Frank.
Coming up after the break, we'll be playing round 1. We'll find out if either Frank or Kevin wins it with either a 21 or blackjack when our season finale of Gambit returns... after we see this. Stick around...

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to the season finale of Gambit. Now that both players are ready, let's take a look at the payout board on my podium. [CLANG]The contestant who has a combination of at least 3 cards that total 21 wins the Any 21 pot of $3,000. And the player who has an Ace and either a 10 or face card wins the Blackjack Bonus of $10,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And before the start of the show, those hard working labrats at RANDOM.ORG has sent our dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 giant cards that were shuffled, cut, sealed. Right now, Jennifer is gonna break the seal and in just a few seconds, she'll reveal the first item up for grabs. Jenn...? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a King! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: What an excellent way to start the season finale with a King. As a reminder... each correct answer is $100. And the player closer to 21 than your opponent (without going over) earns an addtional $500. Here comes the first question... Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, or Anne of Green Gables-- The "White Way of Delight" is the given name of a place in what children's book series?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100.

That is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]$100 and a decision, Frank. Do you want to keep the King or pass it to Kevin?

Post by grapebuy789 on Dec 30, 2018 10:03:15 GMT -5
Is that a trick question? I'm taking the King!

Post by tmann3x on Dec 30, 2018 14:52:14 GMT -5
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Frank is keeping his King for a 10. If his next card is an Ace, he'll win the $10,000 Blackjack Bonus. Jennifer won't reveal the next card unless someone answers the next question correctly. Here we go with our next question... Kiss, The Who, or Earth, Wind, & Fire-- In 1976, which famous rock band made their first television appearance on "Paul Lynde's Halloween Special"?

The correct answer was KISS. 100 bucks goes to the champ. [DING]Frank, you now have $200 and a decision. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Kevin?

[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]Frank is going for it. If his next card is an Ace, he'll win the $10,000 Blackjack Bonus. Jennifer, please reveal Frank's next card. *Jennifer reveals card* Jennifer: Frank's next card is a Joker. [AUDIENCE GASPS][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: If Frank wins this round, he'll also take home a very special prize. Next question... Kidney, liver, or spleen-- What organ of the body is affected by cirrhosis?

Liver is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]Kevin, you now have 100 bucks and a decision. Do you want to keep or pass the card to Frank? Fair warning. If you pass the card to Frank and his next card is an Ace, he'll win the $10,000 Blackjack Bonus.

Kevin is going for it. Jennifer, please reveal Kevin's first card. Jennifer: Kevin's first card is a Queen! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Both players have high cards. If that Ace shows up, someone is gonna be $10,000 richer. Next question. Ra and Osiris, Horus and Seth, or Amun Re and Amun Sun-- Which two deities was the Pharoah associated with at his death?
