Here's the thirty-second episode of High Rollers.
Last time, we crowned a new champion, Michael, who won $4,800 (all in cash) in one day.
As you can deduce from his cash total, he lost the Big Numbers. (overall Big Numbers record: 3-28) Jackpot climbs to $34,000.
I need one player to challenge him.
(champion and challenger, please check in here and PM me 15 rollcodes ranging 1-36)

(theme song) Here's the game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last... HIGH ROLLERS!
And now, he's got two cubes with 21 dots on each... Clément!(cheers and applause as I enter the stage, I wave) Thank you for that tremendous welcome. Good morning, and welcome to High Rollers. As usual, two contestants will compete against each other in a best-of-three match to win thousands of dollars of prizes. The first one to win two games will play the Big Numbers for a chance to win our jackpot of...  ...thirty-four thousand dollars! (cheers and applause) Let's meet today's contestants!  Next to me, our champion Michael. (applause) Yesterday, he became our new champion and accumulated $4,800 in cash. Couldn't be much lower for a winner, but that's still good for a half-hour work. I know you're from Marlton, NJ, do you have some people who made the long trip to see you here in Los Angeles?

(cheers)
At least you have this studio audience cheering ad hoc for you. Good luck to you, Michael. But they also cheer for your first challenger, Kori. (applause)
Welcome to High Rollers, Kori. Please tell us about yourself.

Certainly. I'm currently unemployed, spending most of my time doing errands for profit and studying finance. If that's too dull, I'm also terrific at destroying anything with a wire or an ego!

(laughs) Do you talk about this buzzer? It's precious, you know. It cost more than Michael's winnings (laughs) and they're intended to be used several years. Just be kind with the set and you'll be good. Good luck to you. We left the board with the outer columns full, but Column 2 has only one prize in it. It needs to change, Rich? Sure, Clément. We're adding to the poker table an arcade machine! This authentic upright 21" arcade machine includes an LCD Monitor for incredible gameplay. It features games like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Space Invaders, Frogger and many others! From arcadeclassics.net! A prize worth $2,999, making the value of Column 2 $7,318!(applause) Seems we're going with a game room. What's the total value of the board? The total value of the board is $40,688!(applause) And that's not a conditional value, that's a sure amount of prizes if you clear the whole board. But in order to be cleared, we need to put numbers on first.  All this game is about answering questions and rolling a pair of dice. Whoever answers the question right rolls the dice and eliminates numbers from the board according to their roll. For example, if you roll a six, you can remove the 6 itself, but also the 5 and the 1, or 4 and 2, or 3, 2 and 1. The further we advance, the fewer possible combinations remain, so you can choose to pass if you fear rolling a number impossible to play, because if you roll something bad, you lose the game. If you eliminate the last number of a column, you claim the prizes in it, but you have to win the game to actually win the prizes. If you clear the last number of the board, you win the game. It takes two games to win the match and play the Big Numbers for $34,000. Finally, Hot Column for this game is Column 3. A roll of 11 is worth the London prize package worth just under $20,000, plus a cash bonus up to $5,000. Here's the first question. True or false: In France, The Six Million Dollar Man was worth one million. (buzzcode 1-100, or pass if you don't know) |

Actual code: 42 1st: Michael (50) 2nd: Kori (96)  Michael? False.(Kori, if you want, you can also put your answer on your PM: first that saves time, and second if there's a number question and you want to put the same answer and buzzcode, that avoids giving a clue) Correct. In fact he was worth 3 billion. The reason to that is that 6 million dollars roughly equaled to 30 million francs at that time, and 30 million francs equaled to 3 billion of pre-1960 francs, which was a common reference at that time. Let's have a roll, Michael.   It's a five. How do you want to play it? |

 There it goes. As you can see, the odds of getting a prize have increased a bit. All rolls are good, second question. What is the maximum speed limit you can find on an American road? |

Post by CCSCO on Mar 19, 2015 8:57:22 GMT -5
Actual code: 67 1st: Kori (68) (missed by one!) 2nd: Michael (92)  Kori this time... 110 miles per hour.(groans, laughs, while I calculate how much it is in metric system) What?! Are you on a speedway or such, Kori? (laughs) If you drive at 110 mph wherever in the USA, you might have big trouble and you need to win something big here to afford for that trouble. (laughs) It's a 41-mile portion of Texas State Highway 130 which gets the record of highest limit, with 85 miles per hour. That's much lower, and Michael gets the dice again.  It's a four. How do you want to play it? |

 There it goes. Third question. In tennis, how many Grand Slam tournaments don't feature a tie-breaker game at the end of the final set? |
|

Post by CCSCO on Mar 20, 2015 11:16:01 GMT -5
Actual code: 88 1st: Kori (89) 2nd: Michael (82) Kori again. 4?There are four Grand Slam tournaments, and among them, the Australian open doesn't have a tie-breaker at 6 games all, final set. Neither does the French Open. Neither does Wimbledon. But the US Open does. (awws) The correct answer was three, and Michael gets to roll the dice again. (double SFX, cheers and applause) It's a double! First, let's give you an insurance marker.  How do you want to play that six? |

 There it goes. All rolls are still good but any roll higher than 7 could give you a column... if you choose so. (laughs) Next question. 1983, 1993 or 2003: In what year was Michael Jackson's 2014 posthumous hit Love Never Felt So Good first recorded? |

Actual code: 100 1st: Kori (33) 2nd: Michael (17)  Kori? 1983.Correct. You get to roll for the first time, Kori...   (cheers and applause) It's a nine! I know what you're doing, but you have to make it official... |

Yep, let's remove the 8 and 1, Clement.

(cheers and applause)  That clears Column 1!  If you win this game, Kori, you'll win the interior prize package worth more than $13,000. The first bad rolls are coming, so every question from now on could be the last of the game. Here's the fifth one. In the human heart, there are two ventricles and two... what? |

Post by CCSCO on Mar 23, 2015 10:29:30 GMT -5
Actual code: 42 1st: Michael (32) 2nd: Kori (76)  Michael? Atria.Correct. One atrium, two atria, that's Latin plural. Now Michael, here comes your first decision. The bad rolls are 4, 6 and 8. You have one insurance marker, Kori doesn't. Roll or pass? |

I'll risk it & roll. Come on 10, 11, or 12!

(gasps) (I made a small mistake forgetting the 12 in the odds of getting a prize) Two chances to avoid 4, 6 and 8. Good luck!  (applause) It's a seven. Let's take it off please.  New question. 2, 12 or 24: How many foreign films won the Academy Award for best picture since 1929? |
|
|
|
Post by CCSCO on Mar 24, 2015 19:14:21 GMT -5
Actual code: 29
1st: Kori (55)
2nd: Michael (1) (close call!)
Kori, your answer?
24.
Believe it or not, only 12 movies out of 87 have been produced outside of the United States. First one was Hamlet in 1949, the latest has been The Artist in 2012. Other famous pictures include Slumdog Millionaire or Lawrence of Arabia.
Michael, you get control. The bad rolls are 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10. You still lead one insurance marker to nil. Would you like to roll or pass?

All right. Kori, your try to roll something good to stay in the game... (double SFX, cheers and applause) Boxcars! Nine and three go off...  That clears Column 3! (more cheers and applause)  If you win this game, Kori, you'll take the interior package and the London package. Overall value of more than $33,000. Plus, you've got an insurance marker for the double you've just rolled. There's only a 2 showing, so this is the last question of Game 1. Hands on buzzers... Prior to the current Pope, how many Popes took the name Francis? |

Actual code: 33 1st: Michael (43) 2nd: Kori (73)  Michael? None.Correct! That's why it's Pope Francis and not Francis I, and why I call him Francis 0. (laughs) Michael, you've got the easiest decision ever. (laughs) One insurance marker all and only the snake eyes win. Roll or pass? |

Kori, you know what to do. Two chances to come with a 2 or you lose. Good luck.  (groans) Not this time. Give me your last insurance marker... One more try!  (wild cheers and applause) INCREDIBLE! INCREDIBLE! Unbelievable! Got it! Wow! Wow.  You've cleared the entire board! (wilder cheers, clangs and whoops)  Just like that, you've won more than 40 grand worth of cash and prizes. Plus, you've got your insurance marker back for that double. Michael, what can I say? You made the obvious decision, but Kori got very lucky. Don't worry, it takes two games to win the match, so you're still in this. History's in the making, don't go away! (fade out) |
