Alright, Computer let's see row three!

(ding)

- (audience grumbles) -

Not a great row of dice there George, but please choose three of them and your next row.

[bighornbattle]

2 9's and the Ace please.

[Deleted]

Alright and which row next? 1 or 2?

[bighornbattle]

2.

[Deleted]

Let's have a look at the dice behind row 2 please.

(ding)

Oh dear, well George, row 2 might have been the place to start this time as well. You must take a single die here, which shall it be?

[bighornbattle]

Ace.

[Deleted]

Okay, well I guess the best we can hope for is a nine or an Ace in that last row. Computer, let's see row 1 please.

(ding)

There is a nine there, so that's a full house and another twenty-five hundred dollars for you George!

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

- (audience applauds) -

George, there is some strategy but also a lot of luck involved in the rolls of these dice and Immanuel just had a bit more luck today than you did unfortunately. It's not a bad payday for one day though, you're leaving us with a total of six thousand fifty dollars!

- (audience cheers and applauds) -

Mr. Cluster, I hope you enjoyed yourself and we thank you for playing Pay Dice!

[Deleted]

Immanuel, those Aces held up as it turns out, so you get the High Hand bonus of twenty-five hundred dollars, giving you a total of

$10,844!

- (audience cheers and applauds) -

You are not through though Immanuel!

We have one final game for you to play that we call "Step Up" where you might win enough money to make this ten grand you just won look like chump change!

- (cheers and applause continue as theme begins) -

Don't go away folks - you might see Immanuel win hundreds of thousands of dollars -- right after we see these messages! Stay tuned, more Pay Dice coming up!

- (applause and music continue; studio shot widens; fade to black) -

(NOTE: Immanuel, I did see your message in Vacations. I hope you're doing okay. We can continue when you're able to.)

There's money involved...I'm always ready Let's rock, Jack!

Welcome back to the exciting conclusion of Pay Dice! I'm here with Immanuel Tims who just defeated George Cluster to become our champion and don't be alarmed by that scoreboard Immanuel - that $10,844 you won is yours to keep no matter what happens here, but now, believe it or not, you have a chance to win as much as $750,000!

- (audience gasps) -

How does that sound Immanuel? Are you ready to play?

[babytims]

Absolutely! That's a lot of loot and I want every penny of it!

[Deleted]

Well, let's go after it then!

- (audience applauds) -

Like always, our games begin with a mini-game of High 5. This time, it's a very special edition though because the amount you get here will determine the base amount that you will step up from in your bonus round game! So, let's hope you find that max 75 like you did earlier Immanuel!

Computer, load that board with dice please.

(ding)

Immanuel, be my guest.

[babytims]

Numero uno

[Deleted]

Computadora, numero uno por favor!

(ding)

Ok, I count that as 41. Almost right in the middle there Immanuel, you want to keep that or try another number?

[babytims]

I’love try again. 2 please

[babytims]

Wow, typo…I’ll try again

[Deleted]

Very well, Computer, show us row two please.

(ding)

- (audience grumbles) -

Oh my, three Aces is not good in this game! Well, you can take a base of 22 or risk it and reveal row three. If you do that, you must take what you get in that row Immanuel.

What do you say?

[babytims]

I'll do just that, take the base and reveal row 3 please

[Deleted]

Okay, we're hoping to find something higher than 41 since that's what you could have had to start with. Computer, row three if you please.

(ding)

- (audience cheers) -

Now that's more like it! Well done Immanuel!

(ding ding)

- (audience applauds) -

That gives you a base amount of sixty-one dollars, but hopefully with the right number picks here in the next few minutes, that might turn into $610,000!

- (audience cheers and applauds) -

Our "Step Up" game is pretty straightforward Immanuel. First, Computer, reset the board for us please.

(ding)

The idea here Immanuel is to achieve 5-of-a-kind, but you must do it one step at a time. The first step is to find a pair. One of these 3 rows has a pair in it, the other 2 do not. The game gets harder as we go along, but for this first step, I'm going to give you two opportunities to find that pair. If you do, you'll step up to a total of $610. If not, no bonus for you I'm afraid.

So, let's find that pair Immanuel! Where is it?

[babytims]

2 for pair!

[Deleted]

Immanuel says there's a pair behind row number two! Computer, is he right?

(bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

No, there isn't and I'm afraid we're at do or die time. You have a 50/50 shot at it here, there's a pair either behind row one or row three - find it and the game continues.

Which row shall it be Immanuel?

[babytims]

3

[Deleted]

Immanuel needs a pair on row three or the game is over. Computer, show us please!

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

- (audience applauds) -

YES! The game continues Immanuel! Let's see the first row just to show it please.

(ding)

As you see, it was only row three with a pair of anything. So Immanuel, this means you've stepped up and have now won $610!

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

- (audience applauds) -

Now, the question is do you try to step up again or stop here. You now need to turn that pair of Kings into a trio of Kings, but it will be the same type of situation as you just faced. In the three rows of dice, there will only be one King on that board. Find it within two chances and you will step up to $6,100! If you don't find it, you lose this six ten.

What do you say Immanuel?

[babytims]

I’m feeling good, I’m keeping going!

[Deleted]

I like the confidence, let's do it! Computer, reset the board for Immanuel please.

(ding)

For $6,100 - where is that King?

[babytims]

Let's hope he's behind number 3

[Deleted]

Looking for a King behind number 3. Computer? Show us please!

(bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

No King there! So once again, it's a do or die Immanuel, find it now and we continue. If not, more's the pity.

Where's that King? 1 or 2?

[babytims]

Hoo boy. 2

[Deleted]

We need to find that King this time! Have we? Computer, row 2 please.

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

WE HAVE!!! Immanuel's bonus is now at $6,100!

- (audience applauds) -

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

Let's see row one just to show it please.

(ding)

So now you have another decision to make Immanuel because it gets a bit tougher from here. In this next round, there will be two rows that have a King in them, but this time, you get only one crack at it! If you find a King, you'll step up again to a total of $61,000!

- (audience applauds) -

If you don't find it though, you lose this $6,100.

What do you say Immanuel?
