[OPENING THEME]
(cheers and applause)

Dean Goss: (VO) And now, a game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble, and every move could be your last!

(cheers and applause)

And here's the man with all the action.... GREG PALMER!

(wild cheers and applause, as I walk to the dice table with the dice)


Greg: Well, hello dere. Hi, Sergio. Nice to have you here. And William, good to see you here, too. Let's have some fun, shall we? Thank you. Thank you, Dean Goss, and welcome to High Rollers. Skill, strategy, sabotage, and these unpredictable dice are the elements we have for you as our contestants compete for prizes worth over $80,000 that are already up on the board.

And that's just in the first game. The winner of this two-out-of-three match goes on to play the Big Numbers for $50,000 in cash and a car. One of our players here has already played the Big Numbers, he's our champion. An aviation management student from Singapore who has a total of $36,712 in cash and prizes, William Low. (audience cheers) Now, William, on the last show, you won a $12,000 diamond necklace... or rather, a $12,000 gift certificate to Jared Jewelers. Have you thought about the lady in your life who will enjoy that shopping spree? If so, who is she?

[williamlow31]

I keep pretending that I have a girlfriend when in real life, I'm still a bachelor.

[palmer7]

Well, then. Do any of you ladies want to volunteer to date this man? (mixed reactions) There's an Italian grandmother in the middle row whose hand shot up like a rocket. Well, good luck with that and good luck in this match.

The challenger is a language student originally from Novelda, Alicante, Spain. Sergio Roman Rodriguez! (audience cheers) He understands five languages and is fluent in both English and Spanish. Sergio, there's something I've been wondering, and probably what a lot of the people who are learning Spanish are wondering. Why is it that, in Spain, "cinco" sounds like "thinko"?

Still waiting for you on High Rollers.

I didn't heard about that. Right now, I think that's a mispronounciation myth...

[palmer7]

OK then. Maybe that wasn't a good question. Good luck to you, let's get back to the match.

First, we need to review the prizes that are in each column. In column 1....

The Samsung kitchen package and Lobstergram for a year, totalling $10,215.

In Column 2, the Pokémon Sword & Shield package which includes a big-screen TV, valued at $7,420.

Finally, in Column 3....

The right to visit Smilin' Wink's Car Lot, with a potential value of $62,825.

This is what the board looked like. Nobody has any insurance markers, and a roll of a 9 could clear both Columns 1 and 2. Let's get back to the game.

What classic movie was based on a book titled Everyone Comes to Rick's? Is it... The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, or Honey, I Shrunk the Kids?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 35)
*Sergio buzzes in (62)*

Sergio?
Sergio: I think it's Casablanca.
I think you're right. (audience cheers)


The good rolls are 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12. Nobody has any Insurance Markers. Do you want to roll or pass? (audience shouts suggestions)

[romnserg]

Pass'em to William, I must let him to do something.

[palmer7]

Well, William, you know what the good rolls are. A 9 would be especially good, so roll those dice!

(William rolls the dice)

He gets an 11! Good roll! (audience cheers) And there's only one way to take that out, let's clear the 3 and 8.

And just like that, William's secured for himself the video game package and the big screen TV. He'll have to win the game in order to keep it. The good rolls are now 6 and 9. Next question.


I'll be meeting with a member of the Jones family at 6:30, and we'll be "Holding hands, making all kinds of plans/While the jukebox plays our favorite songs". Will it be... "Mr. Jones and Me" or "Me and Mrs. Jones"?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

*Sergio buzzes in (32)*

Sergio?
Sergio: Me, Again? Oh, well. I'm gonna say "Me and Mrs. Jones".
Just in under the buzzer. You're right.

Actually, it would be (singing) "MEEEEEEEEEE ANNNNNNNNND... MISSUS! Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones".

Sergio, the good rolls are 6 and 9. Nobody has any insurance markers. What do you want to do? (audience shouts suggestions)

[romnserg]

Pass'em to William.
PD: If I don't win any prizes, is there a $500 house minimum just for winning?

[palmer7]

[Yes, there is a $500 minimum per game.]


OK, William, the good rolls are 6 and 9. Let's see you get a double-three. Roll!

(William rolls the dice)

Double three!

[DOUBLES]
(audience cheers)

Let me give you an Insurance Marker, and we'll take off the six.

William, you've added the kitchen package and the Lobstergram to your collection of prizes. Game's worth well over 17-grand. Now, this is the last question of the game.

Are you digesting your food, having sex, or using your hands while you talk if you're gesticulating?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 34)
*William buzzes in (50)*

William?
William: Using your hands
That's right, you're gesturing. (audience cheers)

Now, William, the only good roll is a 9. You have an Insurance Marker, so you have at least two chances of rolling it. If you get a doubles, that's fine, but remember, if you roll three doubles in a row and you don't clear a number, you lose. Sergio, on the other hand, has no Insurance Markers. Do you want to roll, or pass? (audience shouts suggestions)

[romnserg]

William, you finally buzz-in! But let's get serious, give me the dice, because I'm not gonna win.

[williamlow31]

OH boy. I mean, I've got over $17,000 worth of stuff. Even with an insurance marker, I can't risk that much. I have to pass.

Yeah, I knew what's gonna happen.

[palmer7]

OK, Sergio. If you roll a 9, you'll win the game and have the right to visit the Car Lot for a car. This is for a car. We're looking for a nine or doubles. Roll those dice!


(Sergio rolls the dice)

He got a nine!

I'm shocked, William could had won everything from the whole board, but good game anyway.

[palmer7]

Well, we'll just put those prizes back. However, Sergio, you've won the right to visit Smilin' Wink's Car Lot. And here comes Smilin' Wink now!

Bam Bam! I can't believe I've won a Land Rover worth over $60,000!

[williamlow31]

Can’t believe that happened. I have to fight back now.
