Bryan needs a new challenger for episode 3. Immanuel and Nels are unable to do so as they have already played, and my goal is for a champion to take on 5 different challengers before we have repeat players if possible. Who wants in?
I want to thank all of you who participated in my poll question. Although the Craps element did not receive the top number of votes, I am going to stay with that element as it ties in more with Las Vegas, and adds an extra challenge and an added element of suspense.
Three added changes are being made for episode #3.
Change #1, For the Gambit Board round, in addition to the usual 52 cards in the deck, I will be adding in 2 Jokers.
If a Joker is dealt, the player will immediately get to make one additional pick from the Gambit Board, giving contestants two opportunities to build up their betting bank even higher.
Change #2, If the Half & Half token is not found on the Gambit Board, but the player gets 21 in any combination, they will still get to play that game for up to $25,000 cash or a new luxury vehicle valued at over $60,000.
Change #3, The Slot Machine element is going to be discontinued. Instead, I'm going to start a Pot system for each game of the match.
The pot will start at $200 and will grow with each card dealt to either player as long as said card does not put the player over 21.
The cards 2 through 10 will be worth anywhere from $50 to $250 to the pot. The number of the card will be multiplied by $25, so an 8 would add $200 to the pot, a 3 would add $75 to the pot, etc.
Face Cards will also be worth $250 to the pot as they are worth 10.
Best of all, any time an Ace turns up, the pot will instantly DOUBLE in value!
Additionally, in lieu of the Any 21 progressive Jackpot, if a player wins with Any 21, they will win a $1,000 bonus on top of whatever the pot's value is.
If a player receives a card that puts them over 21, the pot amount will remain frozen, and the other player will win that pot.

televisiontunes.com/Headline_Chasers.htmlFrank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams):  From the gaming playground capital of the world…  From the beautiful Tropicana Hotel and Resort, comes the return of the most exciting game in town! The ALL NEW…  LAS VEGAS GAMBIT! And here's your host, Bill McDee!  That's me! Good morning ladies and gentlemen and to all the ships at sea. Welcome to another edition of the All New Las Vegas Gambit! We call this the ALL NEW Las Vegas Gambit because in addition to our element of the playing cards and Blackjack, we've added in other casino features involving both roulette and craps during our main game. We play the best two out of three game match, and the winner of the match will get to advance to the Gambit Board, as you see behind me, to play for thousands of dollars in cash and possibly the chance at a new luxury vehicle valued at over $60,000 in price! And no casino would be complete without a dealer. Please say hello to Alexis Gaube!  Good morning Bill, good morning America! Bill: Let's not plug another network's show, shall we? Of course I'm hypocritical in saying that as Alexis is here thanks to our friends over on yet another network show! While Alexis takes her place behind the podium, let us meet our new returning champion and his new competition for today. Back with $2,925 if my memory serves me, welcome back Bryan Law! (applause) Bryan, welcome back. The Gambit Board was not so kind to you yesterday, but you still managed to pick up a couple thousand bucks which is nothing to sneeze at, even DURING allergy season! Please remind the good folks tuning in about yourself Bryan.

The SEC seems to have been the gold standard with college football for quite some time.
Let's see if you can add to your gold standard in earnings today. Good luck Bryan.
Here to challenge you is David Barkow!
Welcome to the casino David. Please tell us about you, where you're from, what you do, things you enjoy doing, etc. etc.

Well David you've come to the right place to be sure! We have several games within a game! Best of luck to you on the program today!  The object of our game is for players to earn cards to build their Blackjack hands. The player who comes closer to 21 without going over will win one game and any money in the pot. We start off our game with $200 in the pot: (ding)  And that pot will continue to grow each time either one of our contestants receives a card, provided that the card does NOT put them over 21. Furthermore, should either player score 21 in any combination, in addition to winning money in the pot, they will win a bonus of $1,000 in cash! Alexis is now breaking the seal on a brand new deck of 52 freshly shuffled playing cards. David, as the challenger, you get to cut the cards for today's match, Please cut them by selecting any number higher than 0 but lower than 52. |

We shall now proceed with game 1 of our match. Each time our players receive a card, so long as they do not go over 21, money will be added to our growing pot which starts at $200. Numbered cards will be worth $25 times that number, so a 7 would add $175 to the pot, a 4 would add $100, and so on. Tens and face cards will increase the pot by $250. And best of all, any time an Ace turns up, the pot amount, whatever it may be, will be doubled! So it can build very fast! As always, we show the first card at the start of each game of the match...  And that's a nice one to shoot for, a 10 of Diamonds. Will add $250 to the pot once the card is received by one of our players. The champion always gets to play first in game 1 of the match, and Bryan that is you.  We will start off by playing Roulette. You have the betting chip in your charge. Please select any one of these 36 numbers on the board Bryan. If you match the same color, Red or Black, you'll earn $100 instantly. Should the ball land on either 0 or 00, that's $500 to you, and if you predict a number straight up, $1,000 goes to you right away! And that happened on our first episode too. Bryan, please select a number. |

Looking for 17 Black...  Came out 27 Red that time. Sorry about that Bryan, no money from the wheel. Now then, as you bet on 17, we are now going to reveal a dice roll under that number. If it says either 7 or 11, you'll automatically win control of the 10 of Diamonds. If it says "CRAPS", and there are four of them up on the board, control of the 10 will automatically go to David. If it's any other number, we'll proceed from there. 17 has...  OH NO!!! CRAPS! Sorry about that Bryan.  David this means you now control the fate of this card. Do you wish to keep it yourself or pass it to Bryan? |

And that should come as a shock to absolutely nobody.  The pot is up to $450 and will grow. Remember players, you may only elect to freeze once your hand total reaches 12 or higher, and you may only freeze after you receive a card and also only if your score is higher than your opponent's score. If it's a tie score, freezing is not allowed. Now David it is your proper turn, so we'll head back to the wheel with you.  35 numbers from which to choose. Where do you want to place your chip David? |

Betting on 20 black...  It is 13 Black, so $100 for matching the color! Now let's see what the come out roll is under #20  Five...  Now then David. Alexis will start rolling the dice in a moment. She will keep rolling until she rolls either a 5 or a 7. There are four ways to roll a 5, six ways to roll a 7. If you believe she will roll a 5 first, you will bet on PASS. If you believe she will roll a 7 first, you will bet DON'T PASS. If you bet correctly, you will win control of the next card. If not, then Bryan will win control of the next card. David, do you bet PASS or DON'T PASS? |

Let's see...  Oh no! She DID roll a 5 first! PASS was the right bet to make. Bryan, this means you control the next card. Do you wish to keep it or give it away? |

Betting on 8 black  The wheel is 17 black, so $100 for you! Now let's see what the come out roll is:  A 9.  Bryan, if you believe Alexis will roll a 9 before she rolls a 7, you want to bet PASS. If you believe she'll roll a 7 first, then you want to bet DON'T PASS. A correct bet will give you control over the fate of the next card. There are four ways to roll a 9, six ways to roll a 7. Do you bet on PASS or DON'T PASS Bryan? |

Okay Alexis, Bryan's looking for a 7, David's hoping you'll roll that 9 first. And...  She DID pass! Sorry about that Bryan, a break for you David. You control the next card. Do you wish to keep it or give it away? |

If this next card happens to be an Ace, you'll instantly win game 1, the pot will double to $1,250 plus you'll win a $1,000 bonus. Is it an Ace?  No, but it is the next best thing, a Jack. You have a 20 David. Freeze or continue? |
