 There they go. Next question. Within $10,000, what is the annual average revenue of a lawyer in the USA? |

Actual code: 43 1st: Michael (66) 2nd: Matt (75)  Michael? $130,000?It's a bit high. According to payscale.com, it's "only" 76,000-something. (source)Matt, you get to roll again. All rolls are good because 2 is an automatic reroll.   (cheers and applause) It's an eight! I know what... (I stop, audience laughs) I hope I know what you're going to do (laughs). How do you want to play that 8? |

(cheers and applause) Got it!  That clears Column 2!  If you win this game, not only you'll force a tie-breaker, but you'll also win a poker table worth more than $4,000. We have some bad rolls now, so every question from now on could be the last of the match. According to most researches, on what continent the human being appeared for the first time? |

Actual code: 73 1st: Michael (42) 2nd: Matt (5) Michael, your answer? Africa?Correct! Now, Michael, you have a decision to make. 2 is an automatic reroll, 3 and 5 are bad rolls. You have one insurance marker, Matt doesn't. Roll or pass? |

(mixed reactions) There are no prizes to get with this roll, that's why they're worried. Let's roll though. It's an eight. Take off that 8, please.  Last question for this second round. If there's a tie-breaker, it'll have only one question too. What disctinction did Malala Yousafzai receive in 2014? |

Actual code: 55 1st: Michael (66) 2nd: Matt (43) (close call!)  Michael, by a split second... The Nobel Peace Prize.Exactly right! Certainly more understandable than Obama's prize. (groans) Now, the bad rolls are 3, 5 and 8. You have one insurance marker, Matt doesn't. Remember, there's no more questions in this game. If you choose to pass and Matt rolls something good, he could choose to pass the dice back to you. If you choose to roll and get something good, you'll get the same choice. So, Michael, what's your decision? |

(gasps) There's strategy involved at this stage of the game, let's see if it works...   (applause) A six! Let's remove that 6...  No prize, but the game continues with three numbers left and four good rolls left: 4, 7, 9 and 11. As you can see on the chart, the odds have fallen just below 50% for a single roll. You get the same dilemma, the same decision to make, the same consequences to face, with harder odds. What's your decision? |

Matt, you have one chance to roll one of the four good numbers. Otherwise, Michael advances to the Big Numbers. Good luck.  (buzzer, groans) It's an eight... We have a new champion!  Matt, you were a great player. You don't get anything today, but you've made your journey well before: an ice cream cart, a hot dog cart, a grandfather clock, a velomobile, an electric bike, an ATV, two barbecues, a family tent, five trips around the world, an office printer, a desk, a double stroller, a ring, a Smart car and $11,500 in cash, for a total of $98,209 in cash and prizes! (cheers and applause) Have a good return to Council Bluffs, Matt, thanks for playing. Michael, you didn't get any prize for this round, so you get the house minimum of $500, for a total of $1,300 in cash in the main game. You can add up to $32,000 more with the Big Numbers... right after this! Don't go away. (fade out) |

 (fade in) Welcome back to High Rollers! Just before the break, we crowned a new champion, Michael, who has $1,300 in cash for now. We know he's going to win more. Up to how much more?  Thirty-two thousand dollars! To win this, you have to eliminate all nine numbers. Otherwise, it's $500 for each number you take off. One last precision: you've carried over one insurance marker from the main game, this could be helpful. Any questions? |

$32,000 at stake!  A big 10, this could be very profitable. |

 Roll again. (double SFX, cheers and applause) It's a double! Second insurance marker for you.  How do you want to play the 10? |

 All rolls are good because 2 is an automatic reroll. Keep going!   It's an eight. Only one way to play this: take off 5 and 3.  Only five good rolls now: 4, 6, 7, 10 and 11. But you have three chances to roll any one of those. Good luck! (buzzer, double SFX) Snake eyes. Doesn't work here. No harm, though, since it's a double. Roll again. (cheers and applause) It's a seven! Take off that 7 please!  Two numbers left on the board, 4 and 6. Roll either one of them and you'll be down with one number left. Roll a 10 and you'll win $32,000. (audience starts chanting 10! 10! 10!) (buzzer) No, it's a three. Give me one insurance marker back, please. You still have one left. Roll again. (buzzer, groans) A five this time. Give me that last one back... Last chance for you! (buzzer, groans, loss cue) It's a seven... You're not a loser though, because you still win $500 for each number off, that's $3,500 for seven numbers, bringing your one-day total to...  ...$4,800. I'm sure you want more, and that will be next time on High Rollers. Until then, don't forget that you'll stay young longer if you're young in your mind. Bye! (credits roll) |
