(Raymond buzzes in)

Raymond?

[basketball32]

MORRISON

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

Keith Morrison -- who also anchored at Channel 4 here in L.A. in the 1980s.

Okay, Raymond, please step into the box for the first time in this game. Before you start rolling, we need a new game board.

(FF reveal sfx; Puala poses by game board)

And we've got a couple of two-word clues and a six-letter word -- all leading to a new solution.

(Lisa hands Raymond dice)

You've got new numbers, you've got dice -- and now you're on a roll, Raymond.

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

First roll of this game is a 5 and a 4...

...or a 9.

[basketball32]

I’ll take the 5 and the 4 on the first line.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala touches screen)

Starting with an I...

(Puala touches screen)

...and a T -- and hopefully no need to call the I.T. technician. (scattered laughter from crowd) How many malware scans have we had?

Anyway, Raymond, you may guess the top clue or roll again?

[basketball32]

roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

And the next roll's a 3 and a 5...

...or an 8.

[basketball32]

I’ll take the 8 in the top row.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala touches screen)

And there's a C.

Raymond, you may guess the top clue or roll again.

[basketball32]

roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Rats. First double in the game. Sorry about that.

Players, please trade places. Immanuel, you're in the game. Before you take over the two remaining rolls in the round...

...please take one free letter.

[babytims]

6 up top

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala touches screen)

It's an A.

Immanuel, our stats guy is correcting something.

We actually have one roll left in this round.

So with that clarified, you're still allowed to guess the top clue or take the last roll in this round.

[babytims]

I'll guess the top row:

CAPITAL CITY

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience cheers)

Well done! That's it.

Okay, Immanuel, you may or may not need this last roll in the round.

You get a chance to solve the puzzle. And if you can solve it here and now, you get an extra hint in Big 6.

[babytims]

Oh wow...1 in 50 chance. I'll guess Sacramento

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Well, you get support from this California crowd)

For the game -- is it -- Sacramento.



































(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

(audience groans)

No. Sorry about that. But you still get to roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

And the last roll in this round is a 2 and a 3...

...or a 5.

[babytims]

2 and 3 on the bottom

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala touches screen)

We end the round with an R...

(Puala touches screen)

...and an A.

Now, we're out of rolls. But you're still entitled to a guess of the bottom row's clue, Immanuel.

[babytims]

Super wild guess: FRANCE

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience cheers)

Well. That wild guess turns out to be a great one.

Now, Immanuel, you're entitled to a guess of the puzzle with a chance to win this game.

[babytims]

Paris!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

That moment you realize the odds went beyond one in fifty.

Although to be fair, I think we can rule out Topeka.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

For the game -- is it -- Paris?



































(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

Bingo!

Immanuel, congratulations. The middle clue, which we didn't even see one portion of...

...ah -- the iconic Eiffel Tower, located in the capital city of France. Some friends of the show recently visited Paris and they had a blast over there.

(Lisa places dice near Immanuel's buzzer)

Immanuel, please stand by for the money roll.

Raymond, this is just your first loss. We'll see you for another game on the next show -- where you'll have at least one more chance to add to your $4300 in winnings. Right now, we say bye for now, Raymond Weaver.

(audience cheers) (Raymond and Lisa walk off stage arm-in-arm)

Immanuel, it's money roll time. Since you just advanced to Level 1, this is for $5000 a point. And we do allow doubles on the money roll. So a roll of boxcars makes Big 6 worth up to $60,000.

(audience cheers)

So, are you feeling lucky that you can roll some high numbers?

[babytims]

You betcha I feel lucky! I feel the 60 grand calling my name!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Then good luck. Come onnnnn, boxcars.

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

(cha-ching)

Well -- half the total of 12 for a $30,000 game of Big 6 -- when we all reconvene here at the dice table.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll. Immanuel won a quick main game and made it to a Level 1 game of Big 6.

Wally's loaded up your Big 6 word. The dice faces accordingly hide the letters that spell out THE word. Much like the main game, you're going to try to uncover as many letters in the Big 6 word as you possibly can. Now, Wally's about to give us a hint. Wally, may we have the hint, please?

(ding)

Music Music Music. This word might or might not be a proper noun.

As in the main game, you get four rolls of the dice. What's different here is if you roll two different numbers, you may only take one of the two numbers you rolled -- and you can never play the sum.

After your first roll, if you can correctly solve the Big 6 word, you win $30,000.

If you need a second roll, we drop the word's value to $5000. For each roll thereafter, we cut the money in half.

(Lisa hands Immanuel dice)

And beward of those doubles. Any double is worthless -- and reduce your potential winnings automatically. We had doubles all over the place in the earlier session of Big 6.

Good luck, Immanuel. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

And we're going to start in the middle of the word with the 3 and the 4.

Would you like the third or fourth letter?

[babytims]

Fourth please

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Fourth letter's a C.

One guess only for $30,000, Immanuel, what is this Big 6 word?

[babytims]

Ooh man...ORACLE?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

"Oracle" has been the title of songs and albums. So anything's possible.

For $30,000, is this word -- Oracle?



































(buzz)

(audience groans)

My next question. When does A.G. The Oracle come back from vacation?

(scattered laughter from crew)

Inside joke. Okay, Immanuel, chance at $5000 comes now.

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

We get a 6 and a 4 this time. You just played the 4. So, Wally, 6th letter, please.

(ding)

It's an S.

For $5000, Immanuel, what's this musical Big 6 word?
