Nels' next toss of the die results in...  Alright! A big 4! Let's move you 4 more steps closer...  Now on $10,000 so your bank total grows to $16,000...  And we mark off the 4 on the die, so now you need to avoid the 4 and the 6. If you can roll either a 1 or a 3 on this next toss Nels, you'll still be in the running for $100,000! A 2 will get you another $12,000 but then you won't be able to reach Boardwalk exactly. And if you toss a five, you will overshoot Boardwalk... So with your next toss, let's think one or three! Select any number please higher than 0 but lower than 25 Nels. |

We want to see a 1 or a 3 here!  (groans) Oh no! That's a repeated number. So we now have to take your "Roll Again" token from you Nels...  And now it is decision time. You can quit now and take $16,000 guaranteed or you can roll again, trying to get closer to Boardwalk and the $100,000. Should you re-roll a 4 or 6 on your next turn however, you will lose $16,000. Do you want to stop and take $16,000, or roll again and risk losing it all? If you elect to roll again, please select a number higher than 0 but lower than 25. |

Can't say that I blame you one bit! $16,000 is yours!
And we'll have another $100,000 game, we'll try to give that top prize away, after these words of interest!

Yes, that is true. I’ve been working for the same small business firm for almost 10 years now.

And this may seem like an out of place question Kevin, but how do you usually get to work?

I drive. It's usually 20-30 minutes both directions.

I see, the reason I ask is I know Long Island is famous for the Long Island Railroad...
Which means of course, we're going to play RIDE THE RAILS!
(more to come later today)

 Kevin, in a moment you'll be selecting four of our ten railroad lines, one at a time...  Each line has a certain number of cash cars attached to it, from 1 through 10. For every cash car that appears out of the tunnel, you'll accumulate money in your bank, but you need to stop the train before the caboose appears. If you let the train go too long, you'll score $0 for that railroad line. The first railroad line pays $1,000 per cash card, for the second line $2,000 per card, $3,000 for the third line and $5,000 for the 4th and final railroad line. If you get your total to $50,000 or more, you will win the top prize of $100,000! Look them over Kevin and select one of those ten lines, preferably one that you believe has a lot of cash cars attached to it. |

B&O please.

Post by billmcdee on Sept 27, 2021 16:45:47 GMT -5
The B&O will come out first.
But first I'll need you to tell me how many cash cars you're wanting or willing to see before you want the train to brake.
If the total number of cash cars you choose is too high, you'll score $0 for this first railroad line.
When do you want the train to brake Kevin, after how many cash cars?

 Train is leaving the station! One thousand!  Two-Thousand!  Three-Thousand!  (groans) No, that was the 3 train unfortunately Kevin, so no money banked from that line...  Remember no other train will have 3 cash cars, each number from 1 to 10 occurs only once per line. Try again with a hopefully bigger line, $2,000 per cash car this time Kevin. Tell me which line you want and how many cash cars you want to see before the train stops. |

Let’s do Gulf Coast. I’ll try four cars this time.

All aboard! Train is leaving the station!  Two-thousand!  Four-thousand!  Six-thousand!  Eight thousand! (train brake) You just won $8,000 Kevin! But let's see how many more cars there were, if any...  Two-thousand...  Four-thousand...  (train whistle) Not too bad, you let it go 4, just 2 cars after that, so good instincts there!  Your money meter is now at $8,000. The 3 and the 6 train are off the board. Cash cars for this next railroad line you choose will be worth $3,000 each. Which line Kevin and how many cash cars do you want to see before the train brakes this time? |

Chesapeake and five cars.

Let's see how this goes for you Kevin!  Train is leaving the station!  Three thousand...  Six thousand...  Nine-thousand!  Twelve thousand!  Fifteen-thousand! (brake sound effect).....Alright! We'll see your total and where you stand in a moment, but first we have to see how many more cash cars you left out on the line, if any... three thousand...  six thousand....  UUUHHH, Nine-thousand, come on already caboose!  (train whistle) Okay well you are still doing great Kevin! That was obviously the 8 train...  $23,000 on your money meter and that's yours to keep no matter what. But there's one more railroad line for you to select. Each cash car is now worth a big $5,000. There's a 7, a 9 and a 10 train still in play. You'll have to pick one of those and have the guts to let it go at least 7 cars, since the 6 train is already out of play. Which line do you choose and how many cars do you want it to go? I'm going to assume 7, but you may want to settle for less which is perfectly fine with $5,000 per car at stake. Decision is yours Kevin! |

Alright! Going for the gusto! Reading Railroad is leaving the station!  Five-thousand!  (train whistle & groans) Well that was a disappointment to be sure, but, Kevin, you did win $23,000 and you may be back again shortly. We'll take another time out and when we return, we'll see if any one of our game players wants to give up what they have already won for a chance to GO for a Million! After this! |

We are back! We have played three exciting games but the time has now come to play THE most exciting game...GO for a Million!
I will ask today's winners if they wish to give up what they have won for a chance to GO for a Million!
We begin with our top winner of today, Kevin Kolsen. Kevin, you have $23,000. Do you want to give that up for a shot at the big game?

He's a gambling man! Let's go!  Very well Kevin you're now standing on "Go". You will have 5 rolls of the dice to make it all the way around the board. If you are able to pass go before you run out of rolls or before you land in jail, you will win $200,000! But if you're able to land exactly ON "GO" in 5 rolls or less, then it's ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!! The dice are in the Monopoly Rock N Roller. We will shake it up and when you are ready to stop it, select any number higher than 0 but lower than 37 to determine your first dice outcome. Remember, doubles means a free roll but if you roll doubles three times in a row, that lands you in jail too and you will win $0. Good luck and select a number higher than 0 but lower than 37 Kevin! |
