Snakes and Ladders - Pilot

[Deleted]

That is correct, it is false, there is only one part that can't heal itself - the teeth.

So you have two free rolls coming up - if you want them that is. Rolling an 8 or a 10 would land you on a snake so if you would prefer to stay, you can do so but you would be forfeiting these free rolls in that case. What shall it be Nels - stay or roll?

[nelson21]

Roll please 7 or less

[Deleted]

Hey the dice listened! It's a six which moves you up to square 93 and another Higher/Lower game for a chance at yet another free roll in addition to the one you still have coming.

Here is your Higher/Lower question Nels:

Does John Cena have a higher amount or lower amount of average monthly searches than that of Rosa Parks?

[nelson21]

Higher

[Deleted]

Nels says higher - is he right?

(ding)

Sure enough, it was almost 5 times higher!

Nels is 7 squares away and has 2 free rolls coming his way - he also has 2 snakes to get past in order to win - are we near the exciting conclusion of our game? Is Nels about to be our champion or slide down to possible defeat? We will find out when Snakes and Ladders returns after these words! - (fade to commercial)

[Deleted]

(fade in - cue music and applause)

We are back for more Snakes and Ladders where Nels is the first contestant to reach the top level and he might be able to end the game here in the next few moments! Nels, you have 2 free rolls coming your way and three numbers to consider - 2, 4 and 7. Rolling a 2 or a 4 would be bad as you would slide down either of those two snakes up ahead. Lucky number seven is what you want right now - roll that and you win the game!

Good luck Nels - please roll those dice!

[nelson21]

Please a seven now

[Deleted]

Oh no - it's a six!

Well this is an interesting position to be in Nels! You have no way to win at the moment and keep in mind that on the next roll, you will start moving backwards after taking a step forward onto square 100. This means now you need to avoid rolling a 4 or another 6 because those numbers will send you down those snakes. I suppose you could forego the free spin and just stay here and see what happens to Raymond but at some point to win the game you are going to have to move slightly backwards to be able to stop on square 100.

You have one free roll remaining - use it or stay?

[nelson21]

Ill stay

[Deleted]

Well I hope that decision does not come back to haunt you. Raymond, I guess Nels is counting on you sliding down several snakes and losing all your money. The dice are yours and now you are in the position of potentially winning the game in the next few rolls, sir. Good luck to you.

You are 3 steps closer now Raymond...only 19 away.

No doubles though so another roll will cost you. Another strategy would be to stay and force Nels to roll knowing he has 2 snakes nearby to deal with. Like yourself though, he is potentially only 2 rolls away from winning the game. What do you say Raymond - roll again or stay?

[basketball32]

I’m gonna roll.

[Deleted]

Well you rolled another 3!

Same situation basically, but only 16 away now. Stay or roll, Raymond?

[basketball32]

I’ll roll.

[Deleted]

It's a seven!

Both our players are on the top row now and Raymond, you can win it right now by rolling a 9 - stay or roll?

[basketball32]

I’m gonna roll

[Deleted]

It's a 9 and Raymond wins the game!!! - (cue music and applause)

Raymond you navigated your way past all those snakes in fine fashion and the dice were certainly your friend on this turn. Congratulations, you are our first champion with a total of $6,650 to your name and you will play our bonus round for a chance at as much as $100,000 here shortly.

Nels, as it turns out, you should have probably risked hitting one of those snakes in order to position yourself for a chance to win the game. It's not all bad though, you are leaving us with forty-seven hundred dollars in your pocket, so not a bad day's work and I hope you've had a good time with us here on Snakes and Ladders!

[nelson21]

Yeah

[Deleted]

Raymond goes for a hundred grand when Snakes and Ladders returns with our Bonus Round after these messages! - (music and clapping - fade to commercials)

[Deleted]

(fade in - cue music and applause) - Welcome back to Snakes and Ladders! I am here with our champion Raymond Weaver who has $6,650 that is his to keep, but now has a chance to add to that total significantly here in our Bonus Round. Raymond, how are you feeling are you ready for this?

[basketball32]

I’m feeling great and I’m ready.

[Deleted]

That's great! Well the rules in our bonus game are pretty simple - you are starting back at the bottom of the board - land on square 100 this time and you win $100,000! - (audience claps)

As you can see though we have a new element on the board - a bomb. If you land on any square with the picture of a bomb on it, the game is over and you win nothing. Also every step you take will be replaced with a bomb picture, so the longer it takes for you to reach the top the riskier the board will become. In other words sliding down a snake means a whole lot more bombs to deal with. You can stop at any time you like and take the money. You will earn a bonus of $100 times whatever square you stop on, so if you decided to end the bonus round by stopping on square 75 for example, in that case your bonus would be $7,500.

(I hand Raymond the dice)

Any questions Raymond? If not, roll them bones and let's win you some big dough!

[basketball32]

*rolls the dice*

[Deleted]

It's a 5 to start off.

The nearest bomb square is still 13 squares away Raymond so you have no risks at the moment so roll 'em again please sir!

[basketball32]

*rolls the dice*

[Deleted]

It's a 6 this time moving you up to square 11.

You will now be risking your money for the first time if you roll again Raymond. Rolling a 7 this time would end the bonus round and you would lose this $1,100 - do you wanna stay or roll again?

[basketball32]

I’m gonna roll.

[Deleted]

It's a nine and you are now one-fifth of the way to $100,000! - (audience claps)

You have no bomb squares to contend with right now but rolling a 12 would slide you back down to square 10, so you can stop now for a bonus of $2,000 or roll again.

[basketball32]

I’ll roll again
