It is a first for me to use "All New" in a title of something. In my other thread, Nels and Immanuel both expressed interest in participating in the first episode. The episode is ready to go whenever they are.  Please check in when you are ready to begin. Once I hear from you both, we'll get this party started. |

www.televisiontunes.com/Headline_Chasers.htmlFrank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams):  From the gaming playground capital of the world…  From the beautiful Tropicana Hotel Resort and Casino, comes the return of the most exciting game in town! The ALL NEW…  LAS VEGAS GAMBIT! And here's your host, the pit boss himself... Bill McDee!  That's me! Thank you ladies and gentlemen, Frank Caliendo. Friends welcome into the Las Vegas Gambit casino here, hosted by the lovely folks here at the Tropicana Las Vegas. We call this the ALL NEW Las Vegas Gambit because, although the central core of our game will still be based on the card game of 21, we now also are adding in new casino elements where our players could win bonus cash in an instant, either by the spin of the roulette wheel, or by a toss of the dice. Speaking of, our hostess, the lady who will be tossing the dice and dealing the cards, is somebody who has had previous experience dealing with cards on another game show. Please welcome, former Card Sharks dealer, our hostess, Alexis Gaube!  Alexis, I look forward to working with you very much. Are you ready to give away lots of cash to our contestants? Alexis: Indeed I am Bill. Very well Alexis, if you'll take your position at the table I'll take my position over yonder and we'll get things started. Let's meet our very first two contestants, one of whom today will be playing our Beat the Dealer game when they play the all new and exciting Gambit Board! I'm very eager to get to that but first things first, we must play a best 2 out of 3 game match. Here to compete for the big dollars, let us welcome Nels Snesrud and Immanuel Tims! (applause) Welcome to our little mini casino gentlemen. In either order you wish to, please tell the viewing audience a little bit about yourselves before we proceed.

Well, I’m in high school, I’m a senior, and I have a passion for acting.
I love writing as well, one that I’m writing in honor for my late friend and one that I’m writing for a skit!
And I’m planning a little “series” that I wanna do with my friends, and hopefully one day adapt it for TV. It’s a variety-type show.

Well that is very touching to say the least, and it's awesome too that you're working on skits and have a goal for a series.
That would be marvelous to see! I wish you well here today as well Immanuel and very glad you could join in the fun here today.
Your opponent is Nels Snesrud and Nels, let us hear about you please sir.

Nels here's hoping you can make some ready cash here today on our program. You will be going first in just a moment however, before you can do that, Alexis is now breaking the seal on a brand new deck of 52 cards, and Immanuel, as you signed up second and are seated in the challenger's spot, we'll as you to cut the cards at this time by giving me a number higher than 0 but lower than 52.

As always, the object on Gambit is to get to 21 first, or get closer to 21 than your opponent. If you go over 21, your opponent will win the game instantly. We pay $25 times the winning score per game. If you win with a score of ten or less, you'll win the house minimum of $250. 21 in any combination will pay $750. A Blackjack, which is a 2 card 21, will pay double. Each time the Any 21 Jackpot is not won, it will grow by $50 until it does. As is customary, we always show the first card at the start of each game...  A 7 is up for grabs this time. Nels, you'll be playing first. On previous versions of Gambit, players would ring in and try to answer trivia questions. No more. Now it's making predictions regarding dice! Nels here is our game board:  36 different numbers, each one is hiding a different dice combination, as there are 36 possible dice combos. You will select any number you wish. Before we reveal the dice total hidden behind your chosen number, our electronic roulette wheel will spin. If the ball stops on a number that matches the color of the number you chose, you'll win $100 instantly. If the ball stops on either the 0 or double 0, you'll win $500 instantly. Finally, if the ball stops on the same number you chose, you'll win $1,000 instantly! And all cash winnings are yours to keep, regardless of the outcome of the match. Nels, please select one of the numbers on the board, and let's see how it goes! |

Nels has select 12 Red...  It is 7 Red so $100 for you! Now let's see what dice roll combination you have selected. Then we will get your Higher or Lower prediction. If you've chosen a 7, that's an instant winner. Also a 2 and 12 wins because there's no choice to be made.  Oh my! You did find the one combination that is 2. Snake Eyes in this case is a good thing Nels!  Now the only decision you have Nels is whether you wish to keep the 7 or pass it over to Immanuel. Regardless of what you do, Immanuel will be taking the next turn with the wheel and the dice. |

(fade into applause)  We are off and running here at the fabulous Tropicana Hotel and Resort in beautiful downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Nels passed the opening card, a 7, to Immanuel. Now Immanuel, you are going to play for control of the next card in the deck however, we do not reveal what that card is until AFTER its fate has been decided.  We still have 35 possible dice combinations Immanuel. Select one. If you uncover any 7 or the 12, you'll have control automatically of the cards. Any other number, and you'll have to make a higher/lower prediction. What number do you select Immanuel? |

Gong with 5 Red...  It came out 19 Red, so $100 for having Red! And the dice total a hard ten.  Now then Immanuel, to win control of the next card, you must correctly predict whether Alexis will roll a number that is HIGHER or LOWER than 10. If you are right, you win control of the card, if wrong, Nels wins control. And if she rolls a 10, a tie goes to the player plus a cash bonus. As you can see Immanuel, if she rolls a ten, you're going to win another $400! So what will the roll be, HIGHER or LOWER than 10? (Random.org will be used for the actual dice rolls). |

Alexis, please roll the dice and see if you can roll something less than 10.  An 8 is lower Immanuel! You are correct and now control the fate of the next card. Do you wish to keep it or give it away? |

Post by billmcdee on Apr 9, 2023 11:56:05 GMT -5
You would have lost...  A Jack.  That gives you 17. You may freeze or continue. If you freeze, Nels will need 18 or better to win as there are no ties. |

 Immanuel, if that 17 holds up, you will win game one of this match and $425. Nels, you need 18 or more without going over 21 to take this first game. Back to the Roulette board:  Select any one of the remaining numbers Nels, and we'll see if the wheel pays off and also we'll determine what your dice total will be. |

Number 9 is...  Another roll of ten! The Roulette wheel is on 4 black, so no payout there that time, sorry to say Nels.  You're now needing to correctly predict whether the next roll of the dice from Alexis will be higher or lower than 10. What is your prediction Nels? |

If she also rolls a 10, you'll win the card plus a $400 payout!  A five is indeed lower! You are still in the game. Next card is:  A 4. Doubly painful as a 4 is not the greatest card to start with, and oh if Immanuel had received that he would have had 21 and an instant win! Let us proceed however to see how this plays out. Back to the Roulette Table.  Nels, what is your next selection please? |

Ten Black:  15 Black on the wheel so another $100 for you. This time the roll is 5.  Now to earn the next card Nels, will the next toss of the dice by Alexis be higher or lower than 5? |
