 The old version had Blackjack for the main game and "Craps" (The Big Numbers) dice game for the end game. Here, I am combining both elements of the dice and the Gambit Board. Various amounts of money are hidden behind each of those numbers on the board, ranging from $150 all the way up to $500. The player will roll the dice to determine which number on the Gambit Board is revealed. The roll of doubles gives the player a power chip which can be used either for an extra roll of the dice if needed OR to refuse a card that puts them over 21. If a player rolls a duplicate number and has a power chip, they must turn it in at that time and roll again. If a player rolls a duplicate number and does NOT have any power chip, they simply will receive another card. After a dollar value is revealed on the Gambit Board, the player will receive one card. The dollar value will then be multiplied by the card's value. 2 through 10 are face value, face cards are considered tens, and Aces can be 1 or 11, depending on how it's being used. If the player scores 21 in any combination, they automatically win the game plus two times the amount of their pot. A player can elect to freeze once they reach a score of 12 or higher. Then they will have to wager at least half of their pot total, depending on what their score is and how confident they feel that their hand can beat the house's hand. If the player goes over 21, the game ends and they go bust and win $0. The house will receive no cards until the player has already elected to freeze and then made a wager. In the event of a tie, the player neither wins nor loses their bet. Also the "Half and Half" game will also be played afterward for a chance at $25,000 or a new automobile. Who would like to give this a try? |

Fantastic, welcome aboard!
The Gambit Board itself could pay off up to $21,000 and regardless of how you do here, you will also get to play our "half and half" bonus for a shot at an additional $25,000 in cash or possibly a new automobile!
First step, I present you with a freshly shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. We will break the seal on that deck and ask you to please cut them at this time.
Indicate how deeply you'd like the deck cut please by selecting a number higher than 0 but lower than 52 Immanuel.

Very nice, near the center... Now you will roll these pair of dice to determine which cash award will be revealed on our Gambit Board. The numbers 2 through 12 are on the board, and money amounts ranging from $150 up to $500 are shuffled and hidden behind those numbers. You will roll the dice, we will reveal the dollar amount, and then deal you a card. We will multiply that dollar amount by the value of your card. Face Cards are worth 10 times and if you draw an Ace, it can be worth either 1 or 11 times, depending on your situation. Right now please roll those dice Immanuel, and remember if you roll doubles, I'll give you a power chip which can help you out later on in the game. Good luck and give 'em a roll! |

A six and a two, that totals 8, at least it did when I went to school..... (ding)  A $300 money card, nice start.... First card please...  A lucky 7 of Spades there... 7 times $300 is...  $2,100 in your betting bank. Let's hope that 21 is a good omen!  Alright now Immanuel, I'm handing you back the dice to roll again, do not roll another 8, otherwise you won't get any additional betting money added to your bank. Give them a throw, let's try to get doubles! |

Whew! That was close! A lucky 7 that time...  Alright, $250 there and we will multiply that by this next card...  (gasps) Hello! Well that's another $1,000 into your betting bank Immanuel...  And 11 is a VERY VERY nice total to have here because if your next card is a ten or a face card, we will end up doubling your pot and you'll be an instant winner!!!  You are in no danger of busting so please roll again and try to avoid 7 and 8! |

Got a six there... and (ding)  $150. Immanuel, if this next card is a ten, Jack, Queen or King, you're going to end up with a grand total of $9,200 and an instant win. Is it?!?!?!  (Loud gasps) not quite, but a 9 is pretty darn fine! $150 times 9 is $1,350, and we add that to your $3,100 betting bank...  You now are at 20 and a total of $4,450 in your betting bank. Do you wish to continue or freeze on that 20? |

Would you believe that comes as no surprise to me?
Okay so now here's the deal Immanuel.
You have $4,450 right now. You must bet at least half, but you can bet more...as much as your total in fact....
We'll start dealing cards out for the house's hand. The house must hit in 16 and below and must stand on 17 and above.
You have a 20, so only a 21 will beat you.
You must wager at least $2,225, but again you can bet more.
What is your wager Immanuel?

(audience cheering) Yeah, sure, it's not YOUR money on the line!!!! That's the type of gambling spirit we love to see here in Vegas! If the house ends up with 20, you'll still keep your $4,450, otherwise it will be double or nothing.... First card for the house...  A six, good for you, bad for the house...  Next card please...  7 more for 13...  A vulnerable hand for the house. And just like on "Card Sharks" we do NOT want to see an 8 turn up here.......let's get this over and put the house OVER!!! Next card!  ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!! vocaroo.com/9PUonnx6Jg0 Immanuel, very well played sir! $8,900 in cash all yours, and we will take a quick time out and when we return, he will play Half & Half for a chance at maybe $25,000 more in cash or a new automobile! Back in a flash!!! |

(Fade into applause)  Immanuel Tims already has $8,900 in cash, his to keep no matter what. Time for our HALF & HALF bonus now. Concealed behind the six letters in the word GAMBIT are various things, two car halves, a $25 money card, a single 0, a double zero and a triple zero. You will select any two letters and we'll pair up the 2 halves. Hopefully you'll uncover both halves of that car or perhaps the $25 card and the triple zero to go with it! Which 2 letters do you want Immanuel? |

Well I won't take offense that you didn't select my initials of B and M (chuckling)... First under the I... (ding)  OH BOY!!!! Half the car! If we did the other half right next door under the "T", you'll be driving home in syle! The T please! (ding)  (groans) 25 bucks. Well that's cab fare home anyway.... $25 here at the Half and Half board coupled with the $8,900 you won at the Gambit board, $8,925 in cash! Well played Immanuel! Spend it in good health! |

A most appropriate number at which to cut those cards!
Next is for you to roll the dice and reveal a dollar amount on our Gambit Board.
Are you able to roll from your phone?

Very well, we have a contingency plan in place.
I'll ask you to select any number higher than 0 but lower than 37 to simulate dice rolls.
What number do you want your first roll to be Nels?
