Matt Ringgenberg is our current champion. After winning the very game Gambit Board bonus round, he has a total of $40,417 in cash and prizes.
Right now, I'm looking for an opponent to play against Matt. If you want to participate, please let me know and be on standby. Good luck.

Good luck to you, Matt. Before we start the game, we're gonna pause for a couple of minutes. Up next, we'll start the first round and see if one of them gets either a 21 or a blackjack. We'll begin round 1 of Gambit right after this. Stick around. [CLOSING THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial* ========================================================================== |

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to Gambit. During the commercial break, I had given the rules to both players. Let's take a look at the big bucks board on my podium. [CLANG]The player who has a combination of at least 3 cards win the Any 21 pot of $2,500. And if the player gets an Ace and either a 10 or face card, will win the Blackjack Bonus of $12,500. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Whoever wins the best 2 out of 3 rounds get to play the Gambit Board for a shot at winning cash, prizes... or possibly $1 million. Let's begin round 1 with the first card up for grabs. Cheryl...? Cheryl: Our first card in round 1 is an 8. Tony: Whoever answer this multiple choice answer correctly, we'll give you $100. And the player closer to 21 (without going over) will receive an additional $500. Here comes the first question... Espionage, The Avengers, or The Special Agents-- What was the title of the British TV series starring Patrick Macnee as national security agent John Steed?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. NOTE: You cannot repeat your buzz-code in this round. |

Buzz-code answer: 15 1st: MATT (3) 2nd: VINCENT (67) [BUZZ-IN]Matt...? |

The Avengers (not to be confused with a MARVEL comic book) is right! [APPLAUSE, DING]$100 for you, Matt. Do you want to keep the 8 or pass it to Vincent? |

Post by mringgenberg on Jan 28, 2020 23:48:30 GMT -5
I will pass it to Vincent.

Matt passes his 8 to Vincent. Cheryl won't be revealing the next card unless someone answers this next question right. Here it comes... Martina Hingis, Anna Kournikova, or Martina Navratilova-- Which tennis player won 9 women's singles championships at Wimbledon? |

Let's hope your next card is either a 2 or 3. Cheryl, please reveal Vincent's next card. Cheryl: Vince's next card is an 8. [AUDIENCE GROANS, APPLAUSE]You now have a total of 16. Before I read the next question, you have a decision to make. Do you want to continue this round or freeze? |

Cheryl will now place the freeze marker on Vincent's 16. Matt... you need at least a 17 in order to win the first round of the match. You must answer each and every question right in order to stay in this round. If you're wrong, Vincent will win round 1 and an additional $500. Here's your next question... Barcelona, Pamplona, or Valencia-- Which Spanish city is famous for its annual "Running of the Bulls"? |

Pamplona is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]$200 for you. Cheryl, please reveal Matt's first card. Cheryl: Matt's first card is a 5. Tony: The Blackjack Bonus is now out of play. There's still a possibility to win the $2,500 Any 21 pot. Next question... Ferdinand Magellan, Henry Hudson, or Vasco da Gama-- What was the name of the first explorer to lead an expedition that would circumnavigate the globe? |

Magellan is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]Let's hope that your next card is either a 5 or 6. Cheryl, please reveal Matt's next card. Cheryl: Matt's next card is a King. Matt needs at least a 2 for the first round 1. A 6 would give our champ the Any 21 pot. Next question... The way, spritualism, or God-- Dao or Tao is normally translated into English as what? |
