On A Roll (Primetime Spectacular; CBS)

[bighornbattle]

Keep the 9's and 34.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, Lisa will set aside the nines.

Let's see what kind of luck you have with the remaining three dice.

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

And -- (scattered cheers) -- a couple of ladies join the nines.

(FF reveal sfx)

And, indeed, George, you're the leader with two pairs. If you will, please stand next to Wally and we'll see if it holds up.

Shederick, you're next. You -- are on a roll.

---

Shederick, roll code from 1-100, please.

[djshadowwolf420]

24!

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

And -- (burst of cheers) -- yes -- 9, 10, jack, queen, and king are in there. Those are the ingredients of a king high straight, Shederick.

That beats George's pair of pairs -- but we've got Nels in the on-deck circle.

What do you want to do? Stand on the king high straight or roll again?

(audience shouts suggestions)

---

Shederick, if you'd like to reroll, please tell me which dice you'd like to keep followed by a new roll code from 1-100.

[djshadowwolf420]

Stand on the straight

[dougmorrisontheair]

Thought ya might. George, thanks for playing. Shederick, please take your place over yonder.

(audience cheers)

(FF reveal sfx)

Nels, an *ace* high straight or anything better than a straight means you'll play for more than a hundred grand.

---

Nels, roll code from 1-100, please.

[nelson21]

20

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

And -- (burst of cheers) -- looks like an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 are in there.

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

Seventeen officials join me, Nels, in telling you -- you've won the tie-breaker! 

(audience cheers)

(FF reveal sfx)

Nels' ace high straight beats Shederick's king high straight.

Shederick and George, we thank you for playing. In addition to your $25,000 cash prize from earlier, we have, as a consolation prize from the tie-breaker, $2000 in cash, a four-night stay here at Harrah's fabulous Rio, $600 in meal credits, and our great thanks for making this a spectacular night in Las Vegas.

(audience cheers)

Nels, as for you, with just one roll of the dice, you've been assured of $5000 cash. And now you have a chance to parlay that money into more than $100,000.

Our final game of the night is coming up -- when you come back to Vegas.

(theme cheers; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience applause; theme plays)

We're back with On A Roll's primetime spectcaular in Vegas with Nels, our top winner of the night.

Nels, congratulations. You're about to get on a roll in...

...Doug's Dice Game for more than $100,000. How are you feeling coming into this?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Nels)

[nelson21]

I don't know how I pulled it off holy cow

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, believe it, you've made it here in the final game of the night -- Doug's Dice Game.

We play this much like the Dice Game you see on TPiR but with a slight difference. I'll address that difference shortly. But first, let's find out from Tiffany about what's at stake in Doug's Dice Game.

Tonight, Nels, you're playing for the cash equivalent of a used car. But not just *any* used car.

In early 2023, rock legend Eric Clapton announced he was selling his Ferrari. The gray 550 Maranello reportedly has a V12 engine, the ability to go from 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds, and 31,000 miles on the odometer.

Tonight's top cash award is also the answer to this question: As of early 2023, what is Clapton's asking price to the nearest $100?

Okay, thanks Tiffany. Nels, to clarify, you're not playing for the car Eric Clapton's trying to sell. But you're playing for the cash equivalent of E.C.'s asking price.

And because the asking price does end in a double zero...

(ding)

(ding)

...we'll spot you those zeroes for free. Each of the remaining numbers in the asking price is lower than seven -- and the only zeroes in the price are the ones that are visible.

Making sense so far?

[nelson21]

Yes

[dougmorrisontheair]

Great. You'll be trying to roll those remaining numbers in the asking price -- starting with the first number, in the 100,000s places -- and ending with the fourth number, in the 100s place.

Each time you roll the actual digit, you're instantly that much closer to winning the cash equivalent of E.C.'s asking price. Each time you don't, we'll ask you to determine whether the actual digit is higher or lower than what you rolled.

Of course, rolls of ones, sixes, and the actual digits will really help. Good luck, Nels, in this final game of the night. For more than $100,000, you -- are on a roll.

---

Nels, roll code from 1-100, please. This one roll code will activate four rolls from randomizer.org for this last game of the night.

[nelson21]

22

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

Starting with a 4. Is the first digit in the car's asking price a 4?

(buzz)

No, it's not. Nels, is the actual digit higher or lower than 4?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[nelson21]

Higher

[dougmorrisontheair]

(loud groans from crowd)

Going against the odds on this one.

(ding)

Perhaps you've got a hunch. We'll see if that's right. Roll again, please.

(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

(audience cheers)

It's a 6! Is the next digit a 6?

(buzz)

Negatives. However, given the confines of the game...

(ding)

...we know it's lower than 6. So that's good news. Roll again, please, Nels.

(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

Oh, that 4 again. Is the next digit a 4?

(buzz)

Negative. Is that third digit in the car's asking price higher or lower than 4?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[nelson21]

Lower

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

(ding)


They like that call. Let's see what happens on the fourth and final roll for the fourth digit.

(audience cheers as Nels rolls)

Is the fourth digit a 2?

(buzz)

Negative. Is that fourth digit higher or lower than 2?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Nels)

[nelson21]

Higher

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

(ding)

Going with higher.

Okay. Let's get the gimme out of the way. Light up the second digit in E.C.'s asking price, please.

(ding)

It's a 4.

Now -- that first digit worries me big.

Let's just rip the bandage off and see if it's a 5 or 6.

Is

that

first

digit

in

the

asking

price

of

Eric

Clapton's

used

Ferrari

higher

than

a

4?

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

That's what I was afraid of. It was a 1. Sorry about that, Nels. Reveal the rest of the price, please.

Eric's asking price as of early this year is $143,600. And that was our top cash award tonight -- $143,600.

There is good news however.

[dougmorrisontheair]

For each digit placed correctly, you win $2500 -- including the double zero we spotted you as a head start and the gimme roll of 6 in the second position. So that was an instant total of $7500.

For the correct calls in the third and fourth positions, you won another $5000.

That's a total from Doug's Dice Game of $12,500 -- and a total for one night in Vegas of $37,500.

(audience cheers)

Congratulations -- and -- don't spend it all in one place.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Okay, next time we get together, we'll be at our new home in Southern California. David Barkow will resume his championship reign with $174,150 in cash and merchandise.

(audience cheers)

We hope to see you there. And -- we hope to be back here in Vegas for another primetime spectacular -- because this was fun.

(audience cheers)

Hopefully we come back when the weather's cooler.

(audience laughs)

Until we see you again, friends, make it a great night, a great day, keep the faith, and treasure your loved ones.
