The Big Gambit Hour (Series Premiere - FINISHED!)

[dad90]

Well, don't faint now, because we still got more game to play, but first, we have to add up some numbers...

GEORGE	GAME 4: $800	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2350 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3150

First of all, you have won $800 into your Main Game Bank, and by achieving a Blackjack, you've won the Blackjack Bonus, which is worth $17,500!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Not only that, but you've also got the first 21 of the match, which also means you've won the 'First 21 Bonus', which is the suite of Kitchen Appliances, which is worth $5,740!

(More Cheers and Applause)

And most importantly, you've taken the lead, $1,400 to $1,200. But now...

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2350 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3150

We're going to go straight into our 5th and final game of this match as it is worth $900, and both of you are able to reach the goal by the end of this game, therefore, this $900 Game is going to be for the Championship, and anyone can win! But before we proceed on any further, let's take one last look at the Big Money Jackpot System on my podium.

ANY 21 JACKPOT: $4500
BLACKJACK BONUS: $10000


SUPER JACKPOT: $30,745

(Bell Clangs)

The Any 21 Jackpot has now increased to $4,500, but since the Blackjack Bonus has been achieved from the last game, it has reset all the way down to $10,000. This is also your last chance to try and achieve the Lucky 7 Super Jackpot.

But it doesn't get any more exciting than this, ladies and gentlemen as our players are $200 apart between them, and since that this $900 Game is going to be our Final Game of the Match, here's how it's going to work. Whoever wins this game wins the Match and the Championship and will go on to face against our Dealer at the Gambit Deluxe Bonus Board for a chance to win over $1,000,000 in cash, prizes and a brand-new automobile!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Melissa, what's going to be the first card for this deciding game?

(Audience Oohs)

And it's going to be a King to start off, so this is already going to be crucial.

G

A

M

B

I

T

William, since you've lost the last game, you will get to go first in this deciding game. The letters of the word GAMBIT have been reset. Choose one, and we'll get this final game started.

[williamlow31]

I

[dad90]

Behind the letter I is...

G

A

M

B

T

OK, it's Double Definitions.

Here are your 2 definitions, and you have 24 hours to guess the one word that fits both of them.

1. A thing that makes something better or is better than something else.
2. A bringing into a more valuable or desirable condition, as of land or real property.

Your 24 hours starts now.

[williamlow31]

Improve

[dad90]

Improve is also acceptable as Improvement is what we're looking for, and that's good for $200!

(Audience Applause; Ding)

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2350 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3350

Now, with the King Melissa is holding, are you going to take it or let George take it?

[williamlow31]

Gonna take it

[dad90]

You are taking the King.



GEORGE

HAND: 00

WILLIAM

HAND: 10

These hidden cards are going to determine the fate for both of you.

George, it's your turn. Choose one of the remaining 5 letters.

[bighornbattle]

[dad90]

Very well, then behind the letter M is...

G

A

*

B

*

T

7 Up or 7 Down! Melissa is going to roll the dice in just a moment, but I need you to predict whether the roll will be higher or lower than 7. Now, a correct prediction will earn you $200, but if a 7 rolls up, and you'll win automatically, but you'll only receive $100.

Make your prediction, George.

[bighornbattle]

Higher.

[dad90]

You are going higher than 7. Melissa, roll the dice!

(Melissa rolls the dice)



It's very much higher to the tune of an 11, so that's $200 heading your way.

(Audience Applause; Ding)

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2550 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3350

OK George. Do you want to take this hidden card or pass it over to William?

[bighornbattle]

I will keep the card.

[dad90]

You are going to keep the card, and Melissa is going to reveal that card right now. What is it?

It's a 9. Good start for you as well.



GEORGE

HAND: 9

WILLIAM

HAND: 10

G

A

B

William, back over to you. Choose one of the remaining 4 letters.

[williamlow31]

[dad90]

Going for the letter G, and it contains...

B

Important control of the card and a quick $200!

(Audience Applause; Ding)

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2550 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3550

Now William, this could be a very crucial point in this match, and a crucial decision to make. Do you want to take this card in the hopes that it's an Ace, or you can pass it over to George?

[williamlow31]

I'll take it

[dad90]

You are going to take the card. Now, here's the situation. If this card is an Ace, and you'll get a Blackjack, and not only you'll win the Blackjack Bonus of $10,000, but you'll also win $900 into your Main Game Bank, which will hit the goal of $2,100 on the nose, therefore, giving you the Championship and you'll earn the right to go against the Dealer in our Gambit Deluxe Bonus Round, our Main Event.

Melissa, for the Championship, what's the card?

It's a 9, taking you up to 19.



GEORGE

HAND: 9

WILLIAM

HAND: 19

OK William, you may not have a Blackjack, but you do have a strong hand, but it can be beaten with 20 or 21 should you decide to freeze. If you do freeze, George will have to answer questions correctly in order for him to earn more cards. You'll win the game and the match if George goes over 21 and busts, or doesn't beat 19 if he gets a single question wrong. But if he gets either a 20 or 21, and he'll win the game and the match.

So this is a very important decision William. Are you going to continue on or are you going to freeze at 19?

[williamlow31]

Freeze

[dad90]

A wise decision, sir.

(Audience Applause)



GEORGE

HAND: 9

WILLIAM

HAND: 19 (FREEZE)

OK George. Here's the situation. 19 is the score to beat. If you are able to get 20 or 21, and you'll win the game, the match, and the championship. 21 will score you the Any 21 Jackpot of $4,500. Of course, there are no ties in this game.

Now, we're in a Sudden Death situation. The mini-board is gone, and from now on, I'll be asking multiple-choice questions to you, and you have to get each and every one of them to earn more cards. If you go over 21 and bust or if you give me a single incorrect answer to any question, the game, the match, and the championship will all go to William.

Also, you will have 24 hours to answer each question, and we must accept your first response.

Very best of luck to you George, and here comes your first question.

What company logo, featured in the movie "Cast Away", contains an arrow between two of the letters?

A. DHL

B. FedEx

C. UPS

D. United States Postal Service (USPS)

24 hours starts now.

[bighornbattle]

This is just a total guess but I am guessing FedEx.

[dad90]

If that was a guess, then it's a good guess, because Federal Express is correct!

(Audience Applause; Ding)

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2750 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3550

Once you see the arrow between the "E" and the "x" (the white space) in FedEx, you'll see it every time. It's a secondary addition by the logo designers to indicate movement and speed.

Now, George, you cannot bust here, but if this card is an Ace, and you'll win the game, the match and the championship, but if it's a 10 or a Face card, and you got your work cut out for you. Melissa, what's the card for the championship?

It's a 5, and the game continues.



GEORGE

HAND: 14

WILLIAM

HAND: 19 (FREEZE)

Now, you need a 6 or a 7 to win it all. Next question.

The Roaring Twenties ushered in some new and unusual styles of clothing. On what part of your body would you wear a cloche?

A. The feet

B. The hands

C. The head

D. Around the waist

24 hours starts now.

[bighornbattle]

The head because it is a hat.

[dad90]

All over it and right you are!

(Audience Applause; Ding)

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$2950 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3550

The cloche hat is a bell-shaped hat that was popular during the 1920s. Cloche hats were usually made of felt so that they fitted close to the head. Cloche is the French word for bell!

OK George, the card you are looking for is either a 6 or a 7 to win the championship. If it's an 8 or higher and William will win the championship. Anything lower than 6, and the game continues.

Melissa, for the championship, what's the card?

It's a deuce, and we move on.



GEORGE

HAND: 16

WILLIAM

HAND: 19 (FREEZE)

It's getting intense now as you need either a 4 or a 5 to take the championship title. Next question.

What famous actress, while on a war bond tour, died when her plane slammed into a mountain just outside of Las Vegas on January 16th, 1942?

A. Carole Lombard

B. Jayne Mansfield

C. Linda Darnell

D. Isadora Duncan

24 hours starts now.

[bighornbattle]

Carole Lombard.

[dad90]

Carole Lombard is the right answer!

(Audience Applause; Ding)

GEORGE	GAME 5: $900 (CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)	WILLIAM
$1400	MAIN GAME BANK	$1200
$3150 (BLACKJACK BONUS: $17,500) (FIRST 21 BONUS ACQUIRED!)	BONUS BANK	$3550

All were killed on the plane which was given faulty elevation data on the mountain height. The plane hit ten feet below the top. Parts of the plane are still visible. Clark Gable never got over the loss of what he called "the love of his life."

Now George, this card could determine the fate for both of you. If this card is either a 4 or a 5, and you'll win the game, the match, and the championship. A 5 will also give you the Any 21 Jackpot. If it's a 6 or higher, than William will become the champion. If it's lower than a 4, and we'll continue on.

Melissa, for the championship, what's the card?

It's a Queen, and it's all over! George has busted!

(Buzzer) (Audience Groans)

And that means that William Low is our very first champion on "The Big Gambit Hour"!



GEORGE

HAND: 26 (BUSTED!)

WILLIAM

HAND: 19 (CHAMPION!)

$22,960!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

And now William, feast your eyes on the GAMBIT mini-board.

G	A	M	B	I	T

The letters of the word GAMBIT have just dropped 6 special FOB car keys. 5 of those will start each one of the 5 dream cars on display. However, one of them doesn't start any of them, and we call that the "Dull" key. Now, you are going to pick one of those keys, but be careful, because the key you choose right now will be the key that you will hold onto for the ENTIRETY of your championship run.

Now then, choose a letter, William.

[williamlow31]

T

[dad90]

You have chosen the letter T.

(William picks the key from the letter T)

I also want to remind our viewers at home that these keys were randomly placed by a member of a third party, so no one knows which key starts which car, and no one knows which one of them has the Dull key.

OK William, you have chosen your key and that will be the key you will have throughout the entirety of your championship run, and you'll keep going until you either start one of those cars or until you are defeated.

Now here comes the big question: Which one of these dream cars would you like to try IF you manage to beat the Dealer at the Gambit Deluxe Board? Will it be...





the Porsche Macan...



the Mercedes Benz GLB 250...



the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti...



the Audi eTron Quattro Chronos Edition...



or the Maserati Ghibli GT?

Those are the 5 Dream Cars that we have on offer here at "The Big Gambit Hour". Which one of those cars would you like to try, William?

[williamlow31]

My mom has a Mercedes. So let's keep it in the family. Mercedes.

[dad90]

You are going to go for the Mercedes Benz GLB 250!



But in order to play for that car, you MUST beat the Dealer at our Major Bonus Round! And if you're lucky, you could also be playing for $1,000,000! Can William do it? We'll find out in a few moments as we're finally going to the Gambit Deluxe Board, and that is coming up next right here on "The Big Gambit Hour"! Don't miss it!
