And now, from Television City in Hollywood, here is the host of Gambit-- Tony Lane![CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, Jim Thornton. Good morning, everybody. And welcome to Gambit. TV's only show where a 21 or blackjack could lead to a cavalcade of cash, prizes, and a chance to win up to $1 million. Last Friday night, we had a special live presentation of our show in Las Vegas. We had given away almost $2 million. And now that we're back here, what do you guys think of the new look? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Keep up with the applause because I'm gonna introduce to all of you (and to all of you folks watching at home) our most attractive card dealer. Give it up for Jennifer Love Hewitt! [WILD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Jennifer: Thanks, Tony. That was so sweet of you. Did you know that my husband had won over $100,000 playing the Michael Jackson: King of Pop slot machine? Tony: I didn't know that. Jennifer: Yeah-- but his luck had ran out and lost the bet on a boxing main event. [AUDIENCE LAUGHS]Oh well.. Let's hope the players are luckier than my hubby so let's meet 'em right now. [CONTESTANTS' INTRO]Our challenger is a supermarket clerk. from Council Bluffs, IA.. meet Matt Ringgenberg [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And playing against him is our returning champion. Making his second appearance with a total of $83,714 in cash and prizes, he's an an in-home caregiver. From Eastern Lower Alabama... meet JAMES GREEK. [MORE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, Jennifer. We'll see you after the break. First, let's meet Matt for a moment. Please tell us briefly about yourself. |

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]The audience approves your comment, James. Good luck to you. Before we start the game, we're gonna pause for 90 seconds. After the break, we'll begin round 1 and see if one of them wins the 21 bonus or the Blackjack Bonus. We'll have the answer (including the questions) when Gambit begins right after this commercial time out. Stick around, folks.. [CLOSING THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial*

*back to studio* Welcome back to Gambit. Now that we've gotten to know our contestants, please allow me to explain the rules. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over. I'll be giving the both of you a multiple choice question. If you answer it correctly, you'll earn $100. Be careful.. because if you're wrong, your opponent scores 100 bucks by default. The player closer to 21 and having your opponent end up in a bust, scores an additional $500. Let's take a look at the big money board on my podium. [CLANG]The first person who has a combination of at least three cards that add up to 21 wins the Any 21 Bonus of $6,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But if you get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you'll win the Blackjack Bonus of $10,000! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Before the start of the show, our lab guys at Tandem Technologies, a RANDOM.ORG company, have delivered our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 king-sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed. Jennifer will now break the seal and will show our two players the first card as we begin round 1. Jennifer: First card in our first round is a 7. Hands on buzzers.. here comes the first question. Broadcast News, Changing Channels, or Network-- A central part in what motion picture was turned down by both Walter Cronkite and John Chancellor?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

Network is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]With your 100 bucks, do you want to keep the 7 or pass it to Matt? |

Not going for the Blackjack Bonus, I see.. Oh well. However, you still have a chance to win $6,000 to win the Any 21 Jackpot. Jennifer won't be revealing the next card unless someone answers the next question. Here's one of 'em.. Bellona, Faunus, or Neptune-- In Roman mythology which one of these four was considered the god of Prophecy? |

You're right (about the question) and (your answer) wrong, James. The correct answer was FAUNUS. No harm, no foul. Are you and Matt are ready for a new question?

Santa Maria is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]Now that you and James are tied at $100, do you want to keep the card or pass it to James? |

Keep the card.

Jennifer, please reveal Matt's first card. Jennifer: Matt, you have a King! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: If Matt's next card is an Ace, he'll win the $10,000 Blackjack Bonus. Next question.. Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls, or Los Angeles Lakers-- What team did Phil Jackson lead to an NBA championship in 1992? |
