On the last show, Kevin Kolsen became our new champion and also became the second player to win the $25,000 in the Big Numbers. Kevin's one day total is $30,291 and we need a challenger for him. If you'd like to play, sign up here. Also, previous contestants may play again.

All deadlines are 48 hours and here we go.
(cue 1987 theme)
Rich: And now, a game of high stakes. Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last. High Rollers! And here's the man with all the action, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you Rich! Thanks, everybody. (Theme ends) Welcome to High Rollers everybody. This is the game of skill, strategy and those unpredictable dice. But those dice were certainly lucky for Kevin yesterday as he won the $25,000 in the Big Numbers. Will he do it again or will somebody dethrone him? We'll find out right now as we meet our players. Rich, who are today's contestants?
Rich: Player number 1 is an accountant from Long Island, please welcome back Kevin Kolsen! Kevin's one day total is $30,291. Challenging Kevin today is a courtesy clerk from Council Bluffs, Iowa, Matt Riggenberg!
Me: So Matt, how have things been with you lately?

Excellent. Let's go to work here in this first game. As you know, first to win two games wins the match and plays the Big Numbers to try and win $25,000. We had a $25,000 win yesterday, and I think it can happen again today. But before we can even worry about that, we have to concentrate on the match at hand as Rich tells us about the prizes you'll be trying to win in this first game.
Rich: In column one, a new backyard. From Summerset Outdoor Living, this backyard set includes 6 piece outdoor seating group and hi def projector as well as a 92 inch outdoor screen. This prize is worth $8,294. In column two, a new watercraft. The Sea Doo Spark 2UP comes with Rotax 900 ACE engine and trailer. This prize is worth $6,084.
Me: Now folks, if you recall, we tried very hard to give away a really nice prize yesterday but could not quite do it. Therefore, we are going to try and give it away again today. And that prize will be placed in column three. Tell them what it is, Rich.
Rich: Column three contains a restored Nintendo 64 console. Comes with two controllers and some of the best titles from the Nintendo 64 library including Super Mario 64, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Mario Party. This prizes package is worth $1,000 which makes the total value of the board in this game worth $15,378.
Me: All right, let's see how our numbers line up for this first game.
5 1 7
6 8 3
4 9 2
Hot column is column three. Knock out all three numbers there with a roll of 12 and you'll get that Nintendo 64 prize package. Here comes our first question of this match. Who was accused of cheating on the U.K. version of the classic game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2001?

That was the one. And a bit of advice for all you game show hopefuls out there. Play the game legally and honestly and you'll have nothing to worry about. Okay Kevin, roll those dice.

And right out of the gate, it's a double! (doubles sfx) That entitles you to an insurance marker. (I hand Kevin a marker) That could come in handy later on. Now, the only way to take a 2 off the board is the 2 itself so let's do that.
5 1 7
6 8 3
4 9 X
And here's our next question. Disney has announced that an old cartoon favorite that was popular during the 1980s will be returning to television. What cartoon series is it?

Those took place in 1995. Moving to the next question. How many stories tall is the Willis Tower?

Let's take the nine off the board.

One more number out of column two and you could end up with that watercraft. Next question. This year marks the 30th anniversary of a very popular Nintendo Entertainment System video game that was first released in 1985. What video game are we talking about?
