Happy 2019 everyone! Time to get High Rollers going again after a two and a half week break to kick off the new calendar year. When we last left off, Matt Riggenberg had won his second match and his total stands at $150,207 going into this episode. We need an opponent for him so sign up here if you'd like to play.
(Anthony has to sit this one out because he played the last match)

Here we go folks. 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 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. (Theme fades out) Welcome once again to High Rollers, folks. It's our first show of 2019 and we want to make it a good one. Our champ won a lot of money on our last show but came up just a bit short in the bonus round. He's back again today, though, and looking for even more cash. Let's welcome our champion Matt Riggenberg and his opponent Nels Snesrud. Now Nels, we understand that you like to bowl. Are there any other hobbies that you have, though?

Very nice. All right, we're going to get this underway right now by taking a look at some prizes.
Rich: In column one, we're adding a Smart 4K TV. This 8500 Series 55 inch curved 4K LED television includes high dynamic range and stand. Total value: $1,647. In column two, we're adding a cruise of the Mediterranean. You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Athens, Greece for a seven night all inclusive cruise for the Greek Islands from Celestial Cruises. Total value: $10,160. And we're starting fresh in column three with a Nintendo Switch game package. From Nintendo, this Switch comes with two Joy Con controllers and five fun games to play including Super Mario Party, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, Super Smash bros. Ultimate and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. And whoever wins will also get a free one year subscription for Nintendo Online. This prize is worth $600.
Me: Let's see how the numbers line up in our first game.
2 4 5
7 9 3
6 8 1
And our hot column for this round is column three. Hands on buzzers, players, and here's the first question. Which of these electric appliances consumes the most electricity per hour of use? Is it a television, a dishwasher, or a toaster?

Not a bad guess, but that's incorrect. If you remember from the days of classic Sesame Street, Maria and Luis were often seen fixing toasters and that's the answer we were looking for. Nels, all numbers are good so make your roll

And we have another question coming up here. After the stabbing death of two teenagers by another teenager in 1959, some radio stations banned this Bobby Darin hit record from "The Threepenny Opera." What was the song title?
