On A Roll (Primetime Spectacular; CBS)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nice to have you here from Minnesota.

Nels, you'll be playing Tic Tac Dice. And I should clarify we scheduled this game before...

...a certain social media platform changed its branding to -- X.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

And in this game, Xs are a good thing. We spotted you three on the board.

The object here is to get three of them straight across, up and down, or diagonally. And you'll have a maximum of four rolls to accomplish this.

All you have to do is roll a cube. The corresponding number you roll turns into an X.

But be careful. Any repeat roll is a wasted roll and, obviously, hinders the game plan.

But if you can succeed in making three in a row in four rolls or less, you win $25,000.

Any questions?

---

Nels, if no questions, please respond with a roll code from 1 to 97. You'll see the results of that roll and as many as the next three rolls "down the list" from randomizer.org.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Nels shakes head "no")

Then you -- are on a roll.


(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

(scattered cheers)

Oh -- great start!

(ding)

The vital center square.  This means a 4 would give you a horizontal win, a 6 would give you a vertical win, and a 1 would give you a diagonal win.

*Just* in case you run into bad luck with three rolls to go, let me offer you $1500 for each X you have up there -- including the three we spotted you.  That's $6000 I'm offer you as a bailout.

(audience shouts suggestions)

You'd give up the try at the $25,000, the tie-breaker and the possible $100,000+ at the end of the night -- but $6000 is a bird in the hand right here.

What'cha think?  Take the $6000 or keep on rolling for $25,000?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Nels)

[nelson21]

Keep going

[dougmorrisontheair]

Keep on rollin', then.

(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

(more cheers)

Another great roll -- 2.

(ding)

Well -- now -- you're in a situation where any new number wins $25,000.  But if you keep rolling twos and threes, mores the pity.

Tell ya what, with two rolls to go, let me offer you $1750 per X up there or $8750 to bail out.

(audience shouts suggestions)

[nelson21]

I'll keep going

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, just avoid the 2 and 3.

(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

That will do it!

(ding)

Yeah, once you had that middle square, it was pretty hard to lose. $25,000 and now three players in the tie-breaker. You're one of them, Nels. Congratulations.

[bighornbattle]

Good luck to you both.

[dougmorrisontheair]

George is waitin' fer ya in winners' row. Tell ya what, the dice girls will walk you that direction -- while we take this break. One more game -- then the tie-breaker when On A Roll's Primetime Spectacular returns.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays; audience applause)

We're back with On A Roll's Primetime Spectacular. Our last game before the tie-breaker game is our rendition of Let 'Em Roll. Here to play it is pathfinder20 .

(audience cheers)

Welcome, Kourtney, to Vegas. Before we start your game, please tell us about yourself.

[pathfinder20]

Well, I am from Southern Georgia and a cashier from a national Sub Sandwich chain. I love to listen to music, learn languages, collect things and learn more about interior decorating.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Great to have you here in Vegas from Georgia, Kourtney

Here in our version of Let 'Em Roll, you'll be rolling five blocks just like they do on Price.

But here, on three sides of each cube...

...we have a dollar sign. On the remaining sides, we have these cash awards,...

...$1500,...

...$1000,...

...and $500.

Now you'll be assured of one roll of the cubes.

But with Wally's help, you'll have as many as three rolls. Because Wally's going to display...

(FF reveal sfx)

...a name game. First time all show we've played a name game, huh?

Behind the numbers are, accordingly, the last name of a famous person. I'll ask you a question about the person -- and then three letters will randomly appear.

If you can correct answer the question with just three letter visible, you'll earn three rolls of the blocks.

If you miss, three more letters will appear -- and you'll play for two rolls. If you miss there, you'll still play on with just one roll of the blocks.

So, good luck. Here comes your name game.

Who got on a roll -- when she succeeded her husband as the mayor of the city of Las Vegas?

(ding)

[pathfinder20]

GOODMAN.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

The locals think you're right. Wally, is the honorable mayor's last name, and her matrimonial predecessor's last name, Goodman?

(dings; audience cheers)

That's it. Mayor Carolyn Goodman -- married to former Mayor Oscar Goodman.

Okay Kourtney, you've got three rolls of the five blocks. Good luck. You -- are on a roll.

---

(Kourtney, for this game, please respond with a roll code from 1-100. Because there's a good chance you'll be rolling with fewer blocks in Round 2 and 3, the lists of rolls from Randomizer.org will change from round to round.)

[pathfinder20]

Let’s go with 38.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as Kourtney rolls)

And -- just the one dollar sign, three thousands and a another half a grand for a total of $3500.

(ding)

Now then, Kourtney, you may take $3500, call it a night -- and obviously leave three other players to duke it out for the right to play for $100,000+ -- or you may roll again.

If you roll again, you'll bank the block with the dollar sign and reroll the remaining four block.

Rather big decision. What do you do with two rolls to go?

(audience shouts suggestions)

---

ADDENDUM: Kourtney, if you do roll again, please indicate same and respond with a new roll code from 1-100.

[pathfinder20]

I am going to roll again with number 19.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dice girls bank the dollar sign and place the other four blocks into cup; Lisa hands cup to Kourtney)

All right -- $3500 coming back to the house. Second roll coming up. Let's see dollars signs this time. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as Kourtney rolls)

(mixed reactions)

And -- one *more* dollar sign with a total of $2500.

(ding)

Kourtney, last roll's coming up. Want to stop here and take $2500 -- or give back the money for one last roll?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[pathfinder20]

I am going to roll again. Let’s try 85.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Going all in.

(dice girls bank the dollar sign and place the other four blocks into cup; Lisa hands cup to Kourtney)

$2500 coming back to the house.

Here's the third and final roll.

Need nothing but dollar signs to make it to the tie breaker.

Good luck, Kourtney.

(loud groans from crowd)

That close.

(ding)

But you do end up with $1000. And there's more, right Tiffany?

(theme plays)

Tiffany: We sure do. For Kourtney and each of the other players who didn't win $25,000, we have a weekend stay for two here at Harrah's fabulous Rio in Las Vegas. The weekend stay also includes $300 in meal credits and an extra $750 in cash -- compliments of On A Roll.


(audience cheers)

Oh, what a fine prize. More fun in Vegas for you, Kourtney.

[pathfinder20]

$1000 more than I can to Vegas with. Probably use it for the shows.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Yes, a lot of great shows here. Enjoy 'em. Enjoy Vegas.

And we'll enjoy the tie-breaker -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

bighornbattle , djshadowwolf420 , nelson21

George, Shederick, and Nels, the tie-breaker should start later tonight.

We'll basically treat it as if it were the SCSD on TPiR. Instead of spinning a wheel, we're rolling poker dice.

On the dice, the number 1 through 6 have been replaced with depictions of an Ace through a 9 as seen in a deck of playing cards.

You'll each have as many as two rolls. Like the first roll? We'll lock it in. Want a second roll? Keep as many dice as you like and reroll the rest.

Rolling and rerolling procedures are similar to those seen in OAR's rendition of Let 'Em Roll, which we just played with Kourtney.

Rankings of the hands/combinations are as follows...

FIVE OF A KIND
FOUR OF A KIND
FULL HOUSE
STRAIGHT
THREE OF A KIND
TWO PAIR
ONE PAIR
ACE HIGH

...player with the best hand advances to the final game of the night for more than $100,000.

Please check in to let me know you're ready and we'll start tonight. Thanks.

[djshadowwolf420]

I'm ready

[nelson21]

Ready

[bighornbattle]

I am ready.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays)

Tiffany: A member of our audience at the Samba Theatre here at Harrah's fabulous Rio in Las Vegas will receive Skyway luggage. Practical, attractive luggage with wheels. Rugged, nylon outdoor twist fabric featuring new slate color with expandable capacity from Skyway.

And a Service Merchandise gift card toward the purchase of famous, brand-name items. Select from the 500-page catalog or redeem at one of their showrooms. Furnished by Service Merchandise.

Now here's Doug Morris with our tie-breaker game as we continue with On A Roll's Primetime Spectacular.

(audience cheers)

Thanks, Tiffany. I've got George, Shederick, and Nels. They've each won $25,000. Now it's time to break this tie and see who will play the final game of the night for more than $100,000.

We're playing our version of the Poker Game. And our sign for the Poker Game is packed away in cold storage back in California. So -- sorry about that, folks.

But we've got Wally here -- and we've got our poker dice. The numbers 1 through 6 on the dice have been respectively replaced with depictions of playing cards Ace through 9. In fact, Lisa, please give 'em a roll just to test them.

(audience cheers as Lisa shakes up cup and rolls dice down original Let 'Em Roll ramp)

And -- (scattered groans) -- darn -- just ace high. Now, Lisa could stop and just take ace high or reroll. I suspect a reroll.

(Lisa picks up everything except ace; puts remaining four dice back in cup; Candice banks ace)

I'm not surprised. She's keeping the ace. I hope you have better luck, Lis.


(audience cheers as Lisa shakes up cup and rolls dice down original Let 'Em Roll ramp)

(audience cheers)

Much better. Three jacks and another ace.

Now, players, if this were any of you and you had the best hand, Wally would display it as such and you'd be the leader. And if you are the leader by the end of the tie-breaker, you'll win the tie-breaker and play for $100,000+.

Now for a rundown of the best rankings. Five of a kind is best -- followed by four of a kind, full house (what Lisa just ended up with), a straight (ace through 10 or king through 9), three of a kind, two pair, one pair and just ace high.

George, we'll start with you since you won your game first. Shederick, you'll be next. Nels, you'll be third.

Good luck to everyone. George -- you -- are on a roll.

---

George, roll code from 1-100, please.

[bighornbattle]

24.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as George shakes up cup and rolls dice down original Let 'Em Roll ramp)

And -- (scattered groans) -- only a pair of nines to start.

You could stop here and keep the nines -- or reroll.

(audience shouts suggestions)

---

(George, if rerolling, please tell me which dice you're keeping followed by another roll code.)
