Gambit Six Ball

[billmcdee]

The winner of the Gambit match will play six ball. They will get up to six balls to "roll". Every time a ball lands in one of the spots in column one, that will win $500 in cash. $750 in cash in column 2 and $1,250 in column 3. Should a player get a ball in all four holes in any given column, the total will double (Column 1 $2,000 doubles to $4,000, Column 2 $3,000 doubles to $6,000, Column 3 $5,000 doubles to $10,000).



There are 2 Aces and 2 Jacks. Light up an Ace and a Jack and that's worth $5,000. Light up all 4 in any given playing and you win $5,000 in cash plus a new automobile valued at $20,000.



If after six balls a "Blackjack" is not made, the player will still get $1,000 for each Jack lit up and $1,100 for each Ace lit up. So should two Aces and one Jack be lit, that would be worth $6,100 ($5,000 for the one Blackjack plus $1,100 for the other Ace being lit.)



At the bottom are the six letters that spell out "GAMBIT". If a ball lands in one of those six spots, the ball will remain in play.



If the player lights up all six letters in “GAMBIT”, that will win a $25,000 cash prize. If a champion does not light all six up, any letters that were lit up will remain lit if they win another match and get back to play 6-Ball again.



The two "Out Of Play" holes are bad news. Get one ball in there and you get $0. If you end up getting balls in both “Out Of Play” holes, the game ends immediately, but the player still gets to keep any cash they may have won up until that point.



I will randomly assign the numbers 1 through 24 to each hole. Each “roll” will consist of the player selecting a number 1 – 24.



Who would like to give this a test run?

[tmann3x]

I'll give it a try.

[billmcdee]

Awesome Tony, good luck!  Here is ball number 1.  Roll!  (Select any number 1 through 24 please).

[tmann3x]

Dedicated to BigJon, I'll go for 06.

[billmcdee]

A very nice tribute there...
































(groans)  Unfortunately that ball ended up in the Out of Play spot...

Try again with ball number 2 please.  Select any number 1 - 24 (but not 6 again).

[tmann3x]

13.

[billmcdee]

Here's hoping 13 will prove lucky.....at least luckier than the first ball!














And it's heading into...
























Splendid, the Ace of Hearts!






That guarantees you at the very least $1,100 Tony.  Get another ball in either Jack and that will become $5,000!

Please roll ball number 3 by selecting a number higher than 0 but lower than 25, and remember 6 and 13 are already used up.

[tmann3x]

2!

[billmcdee]

And ball number 3 is rolling over into...
























































$1,250!  (applause)  You now have $2,350 in cash, and three balls yet to roll.

Select any number higher than 0 but lower than 24 again Tony, but do not select 2, 6 or 13 please.

[billmcdee]

And ball number 4 is heading into...



































Good!  Another $750 there.  Up to $3,100 with 2 balls to go.  Here's hoping you'll light up some of the GAMBIT letters on this, your fifth ball.

Again please select higher than 0 but lower than 25, and do not pick 1, 2, 6 or 13.

[tmann3x]

10.

[billmcdee]

And Ball 5 is heading for...










































Another $1,250!  $4,350 total so far and one ball remaining.  Get that last ball in either of the Jacks and you'll add another $3,900 to your total Tony.

Still no letters let up yet in the word GAMBIT.

Ball six is yours, pick a number please higher than 0 but lower than 24, do not select, 1, 2, 6, 10 or 13 and good luck!

[billmcdee]

The last ball goes into...












































$500 more!

(theme plays)

Well, it started off rough, but you did very well Tony.  $4,850 in cash here playing Six Ball.  You did not light up any of the letters in GAMBIT for the $25,000 prize, but if you win another match, you'll come back here and try it all over again!

[billmcdee]

Bryan Law, unless I was mistaken, I believe you expressed an interest in trying Six Ball?

[Bryan]

Yes I did, let's do this!

[billmcdee]

Good deal.  First I want to advise you of a couple of rule changes I'm trying out.

First, should you get two consecutive balls in the "Out Of Play" holes, not only will the game end, but any cash you have built up will disappear.

Second, instead of the six letters in GAMBIT, there will be a dollar sign, a 2, a 5 and three zeroes.

The dollar sign will be lit up automatically.  Should a ball land in either the 2 or the 5, the other number will light up automatically, and any money on there will be won (e.g. $25,   $250,   $2,500)   and of course if all are lit up it will be $25,000.  As before, anything that is already lit up will remain lit up should that same champion play Six-Ball again.

Third, the car can now be won if any 4 balls end up in the same column or if 4 balls light up both Jacks and both Aces.

Fourth, the first ball in column one is still worth $500, the first ball in column 2 is still worth $750, and the first ball in column 3 is still worth $1,250,  Now however, any time you get an additional ball in any column, you will win random additional cash.  Random.org will determine that.

Here is the board:




And as promised, we will light up the first spot with the dollar sign in the $25,000 prize:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Bryan.  If not, I'll ask you to take ball number one and roll it by selecting a number higher than 0 but lower than 24 (only goes up to 23 now since the dollar sign lights up).

[billmcdee]

And ball number 1 this time is heading into...





























$1,250.  A nice beginning for you Bryan.





If you get another ball in that column, it will be worth anywhere from $1,250 up to $2,500 as it will activate the Random Cash in that column.

Now your choices Bryan are higher than 0 but lower than 23 this time for ball number 2.  Good luck, where are you rolling it to?

[Bryan]

(Not to rush you but I’m awaiting your answer on Super Password. Thanks)

[billmcdee]

(replied and you're welcome sir!)

Ball number 2 is headed toward...












































$500 more!  





Up to $1,750 in cash thus far.  Get another ball in column 1 and the random cash will be activated and will mean anywhere from another $500 up to $1,000 more to you Bryan.

Ball 3 is in hand, select higher than 0 but lower than 22 this time please.

[Bryan]

[billmcdee]

And ball number 3 is moseying on over toward...



































Column 1 again!  The random cash has been activated and that ball is worth...















Another $800 in cash!





$2,550 so far, doing fine.  Get yet another ball in column 1 and the random cash will be worth anywhere between $1,000 and $1,500!

Time for ball 4, a number higher than 0 but lower than 21 please.

[Bryan]

[billmcdee]

And this time we get...

































$750 more!  Up to $3,300 now with 2 balls left.





Ball #5 coming up, select please a number higher than 0 but lower than 20 Bryan.

[Bryan]

10

[billmcdee]

Ball 5 is heading into...


























The Jack of Clubs....





That lights up.  You have one ball left.  If you get the last ball into one of the Aces, it will be $5,000.  If not, you'll still earn $1,000 for the Jack.


Select a number higher than 0 but lower than 19 Bryan and good luck!

[Bryan]

15

[billmcdee]

And that last ball goes into...







































One of the zeroes in the $25,000 prize....that zero lights up and ball 6 remains in play!





Please select higher than 0 but lower than 18 this time Bryan.
