Burton: And now, it's the return of the game of high stakes, where every decision is a gamble, and every move could be your last...

It's...

SUPER HIGH ROLLERS!

And here's your host, the man who has reached the '30' club and is finally ready to graduate with a Master's Degree, but still feels like he's 25 when he has graduated with a Bachelor's Degree. The one with all of the action, Dayo Kayode!

(DK walks out the 3 dice as Audience Cheers and Applause)

DK: Thank you, Burton Richardson! And good morning, one and all, and welcome to Super High Rollers, where the game of skill, strategy, sabotage...



...and these 3 unpredictable dice have gone to a whole new level!

[dad90]

Let's get started by meeting our players for tonight! First we have Matt Ringgenberg!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Matt, tell us all about yourself, where you're from, and what you do.

[mringgenberg]

I am a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, IA.

[dad90]

As a Supermarket Clerk, you are now considered as one of the essential workers who certainly have helped a lot of people during this difficult time. In any event, we are glad to have you here. Next up is William Low!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

William, tell us all about yourself, where you're from, and what you do.

[williamlow31]

I'm William Low. I'm 20 years old, soon to be graduating with a diploma in Aviation Management. Now doing job searching.

[dad90]

Yeah, and I got a Master's Degree in Information in Assurance & Cybersecurity, but I'll be going for my certifications before going job searching. In any event, good luck to you and thanks for being with us.

And the last one of the trio is Nels Snesrud!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Nels, tell us all about yourself, where you're from, and what you do.

[nelson17]

Hello I’m nels from Minneapolis Minnesota I’m a cashier at target who loves to bowl

[dad90]

Well, I'm in a Bowling League, and unfortunately, we didn't have enough people, and that is obviously due to the Coronavirus, but I'm sure that in the next year, things will be different (I hope). In any event, glad to have you here.

Let's hear it for our players today!



Now then, let's get the How-To-Play out of the way!

We have 3 rounds of gameplay: Qualification, Elimination and Championship, and the object of the game is to try and eliminate as many of the 12 numbers as you can.

In the first round, the Qualification Round, we have the 12 numbers lined up like this...

[1]--[2]--[3]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[5]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]

And underneath the 12 numbers hide prizes, but 2 of them hide 2 halves of a prize that is worth more than $5,000.

Now, to win any prizes at all, you have to win the round, and you can do that in 2 ways:

1. Clear the Last Number(s) off of the board.
2. Force your opponents into a Bad Roll.

If you can do either of that in this round, you'll be moving on to the Championship Round, while the other two will be moving on to the Elimination Round.

However, we're going to take a commercial break right now, and when we come back, we'll get the first round underway on Super High Rollers, so stay with us.

(All Star Blitz Prize Reveal Cue Plays; Audience Applause)

DK: And welcome back, everybody! We're about to get our first round of the game underway, but first, an important announcement!

2 days ago marks the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.!



One of my all-time favorite games, Nintendo is going to launch a cool array of Mario games to celebrate the 35th anniversary, and as such, all questions in this first round will be about the Mario world.

And on our game board for the Qualification Round, we have prizes totaling over $20,000!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Now players, in order to get control of the dice, you must answer a Toss-Up question, in which in this round, they are all Multiple-Choice.

So without further ado, here's the first question of the day, and it goes a little something like this...

Mario's first appearance was in Donkey Kong, but which year did it come out?

A. 1979
B. 1981
C. 1983
D. 1985

Matt: 92
William: 62
Nels: 20

Magic #: 27

(Buzz-In!)

And Nels buzzes in! What's your answer?

[nelson17]

B

[dad90]

1981 is the correct answer!

(Audience Applause)

Donkey Kong first appeared in the eponymous arcade game in 1981 as the opponent. He became the player character in later games. Donkey Kong Jr. first appeared in the arcade style game Donkey Kong Jr. released in 1982.

Nels, you get control of the dice.

(Nels picks up the dice)

Now, the 3 dice will total anywhere between 3 to 18.

GOOD ROLLS: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

You will use the value of the roll to eliminate as many of the 12 numbers on the board as you can in any form of combination. In the event you roll a number that has no moves at all, you're out of the round. With that said, all 12 numbers are up there, and all rolls are good, so go ahead and roll the dice!

(Nels rolls the dice)



And it's a Double!

(Doubles!) (Audience Applause)

Whenever a player rolls a Double, that player will earn an Insurance Marker, which will protect them from 1 Bad Roll.

Now Nels, the roll is an 8. Which number(s) would like to take off?

[nelson17]

3 and 5

[dad90]

3 and 5, and now, we're going to see what's behind those numbers...

[1]--[2]--[3]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[Appliances]--[?]
[5]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[Treadmill]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]

It's a collection of appliances and a treadmill!

(Audience Applause)

Insurance Markers/Prizes:

Matt: 0/None
William: 0/None
Nels: 1/Appliances; Treadmill

[1]--[2]--[XX]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[XX]--[?]
[XX]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[XX]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]

Now in order to win those prizes, you have to win the round. With that said, let's proceed to the next question, which is a follow-up from the last question.

Mario's name wasn't fully decided at the time – what was he known as in the Donkey Kong days?

A. Bigman
B. Runningman
C. Donkeykongman
D. Jumpman

Matt: 16
William: 16
Nels: 64

Magic #: 9

(Buzz-In!)

And William buzzes in, just beating Matt by a fraction of a second! What's your answer?

[williamlow31]

D

[dad90]

D. Jumpman is the right answer!

(Audience Applause)

The hero is a carpenter originally unnamed in the Japanese arcade release, later named Jumpman and then Mario.

William gets control of the dice.

(William picks up the dice)

Everything's good here, so roll 'em!

(William rolls the dice)



And it's a 14. Which numbers would you like to eliminate?

[williamlow31]

Let's try 6 and 8

[dad90]

Going to 6 and 8, and behind those numbers, we have...

[1]--[2]--[XX]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[XX]--[?]
[XX]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[XX]--[Luggage]--[?]--[Smart Gadgets]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]

a collection of luggage and smart gadgets!

(Audience Applause)

Insurance Markers/Prizes:

Matt: 0/None
William: 0/Luggage; Smart Gadgets
Nels: 1/Appliances; Treadmill

[1]--[2]--[XX]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[XX]--[?]
[XX]--[XX]--[7]--[XX]
[XX]--[XX]--[?]--[XX]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]

And we proceed on to the next question.

What is unique about Mario's role in the game Donkey Kong Junior?

A. He doesn't have a mustache.
B. He doesn't have any clothes on.
C. He's got really long hair.
D. He's the baddie.

Matt: 88
William: 94
Nels: 9

Magic #: 85

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

A. He doesn't have a mustache.

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

That is incorrect. Anyone else?

(Buzz-In!)

And William buzzes in! What's your answer?

[williamlow31]
