Actual code: 62 1st: Matt (79) 2nd: James (42)  Matt, your answer? 1863.I asked for a century, therefore I have to call that answer incorrect. 1860 was the exact year, so it was the 19th century. James, roll the dice.   (cheers and applause) It's an eight! I know what you're going to do, but I have to ask. How do you want to play that 8? |

(I facepalm, audience laughs, groans, boos, throws tomatoes and various objects all over the place) YOU FOOL!  (I go to the numbers' board) See there? The hot column was available! (I sit down, laughs) I give up. I can't believe that. (I get back to my podium) Remember, there's a guaranteed cash bonus attached with the hot column. It's still available. Next question. At the beginning of a game of High Rollers, how many ways can you play, let's say, randomly... an... 8? (audience bursts in laughter - yes, this is the question) |

(James passes) Matt? 10.
Let's recap them: the 8 itself (audience: ONE!), 7 and 1 ( TWO!), 6 and 2 ( THREE!), 5 and 3 ( FOUR!), 5, 2 and 1 ( FIVE!), 4, 3 and 1 ( SIX!) and that's all. (groans) Six ways, not 10. James gets to roll.   It's a five. How do you want to play it? |

 There it goes. Next question. Besides cyan and magenta, what is the third secondary color in light? |

(Matt passes)  James? Yellow.That's correct! Pretty good odds of getting a prize, roll the dice! (awws) It's a 4, and you have to break the hot column. How do you want to play it? |

 Hot Column bonus is out of play. That's what you get for forgetting it when it's available. (laughs) That sound means this is the last question of this second game. Whoever gets control after this question will roll, because all rolls are still good, but after each good roll, the last roller will have the choice to roll again or pass the dice. So there's a lot of strategy involved now. If there's a tie-breaker game, it will be a one-question only. Here's the last question. Cézanne, Van Gogh or Gauguin: This month, an 1892 painting is said to be sold $300 million. Who is its author? |

Actual code: 60 1st: James (56) 2nd: Matt (35) James? Van Gogh.That's wrong, it was Gauguin. Matt, you get to roll.  It's a seven. How do you want to play it? |

 There they go. Now, Matt, we have our first bad rolls: 4, 6 and 8. Rolling is getting risky, but as you can see, there's a strong possibility of claiming a column if you roll something good. There's no insurance marker in play, that means no safety net for you or James. Roll or pass? |

Let's see if that pays off...  (buzzer, groans) Unfortunately it doesn't, with that 6... It's a tie game! (cheers and applause)  I really liked your move, Matt, but the dice got you. James, you tie the match at one game all. You didn't claim any prize, so you win the house minimum of $500. The rubber game of the match is coming next, and you don't want to miss it! Don't go away! (fade out) |

(fade in) Welcome back to High Rollers! Just before the break, James tied the match. However, we've discovered that the odds chart on Matt's bad roll was wrong. Instead of 76% and 73%, it should have read 70% and 67%, and that could have led Matt to a wrong decision. Should Matt lose this game, he'll be invited back for the next show. Here's the rubber game of the match, one question only and a new prize in Column 3 with that trip to London. Tell us about it, Rich. Get the London look with this new briefcase! From Salvatore Ferragamo, this 15" leather briefcase is crafted from buttery-soft leather and accented with sleek gunmetal hardware for a tasteful fusion of timeless and modern styles. A prize worth $2,150, making the value of Column 3 $9,998! (applause) Two bucks shy of ten grand. That reminds me a London banker on the news, on a stormy day, fighting against his umbrella. (laughs) I was laughing out loud watching this, a banker ruling the world but ignoring common sense. If you're watching High Rollers at home, umbrellas are useless on a windy day. What's the potential value of the board? The potential value of the board is $36,644!Let's load the board...  (cheers and applause) Not one, but two Hot Columns! Column 3 with a roll of 11, and Column 2 with a roll of 12. Both have a cash bonus attached to them, so it could be $10,000 in cash (cheers and applause) if you're very lucky. One question, this is for the first roll of this tie-breaker game. True or false: The game of Chinese checkers has been invented in the United States. |

Actual code: 27 1st: James (56) 2nd: Matt (72)  James? False.Indeed, they're originating from Germany. All rolls are good, so let's take a roll. It's a six. How do you want to play it? |

 On one hand, the Hot Column bonus is out of play for Column 2. On the other hand, it's still in play for Column 3. And, you have a big chance of clearing a column with this next roll. All rolls are good, so you're required to take it.   (cheers and applause) It's a nine! I'm required to ask... (audience starts laughing) Don't let me down please! (laughs) James, where to? |

(audience groans, boos) No tomatoes this time? (some audience members starts throwing rotten eggs, laughs)  9 is off. Remember, this game is also about getting some prizes. Technically, you now have a 5-in-6 chance of getting a number that clears a column now. But the odds don't deal with contestants' strange choices. (laughs) All rolls are still good, roll again. It's a six. I know what a smart player will do with this... (laughs) |

(groans, murmurs) That's how to break a hot column, folks.  Now, there's one bad roll: the 8. With a good number, you can clear up to two columns at once. But there's a risk involved here. What do you want to do? |

(mixed reactions) All those prizes you missed just to pass control with nothing? Well, either you're not interesting in the prizes, or that's certainly well beyond me. Matt, you can make quite a sweep with this one. With one condition: don't roll an 8. (applause) It's a seven. I'm sorry, Matt, but you have to claim a column this time. (laughs) |

 You've cleared Column 2! (cheers and applause)  If you win this game, not only you'll win your third match, but you'll also play our Love Letters side game. Now, Matt, there are two numbers left on the board. Whoever rolls a 9 wins the match. 7 or 2, either column is cleared and the game goes on. Anything else that's not a double and it's game over. You have no insurance markers, but James doesn't have more. What's your decision? |
