Lucky Roll

[ap2023]

Very well Bill. 
the 1 and 9 are gone. 

As I said, each number you knock off earns you $1000.
You currently have

$2000.
You can take the $2000 and stop right now, or you can roll the dice again. 
What would you like to do?
Remember, a bad roll without obtaining a gold star will end the game.

[billmcdee]

I'll roll again April.

[ap2023]

Very well. What has Bill rolled here?

You rolled a 9, Bill.
Several options for you here.
What numbers would you like to knock off?

[billmcdee]

7 and 2 please.

[ap2023]

As you wish, Bill. 

And your winnings have increased to $4000 for knocking off two more numbers.

$4000 is a lot to risk, Bill.
However, you can still roll the dice to try to knock off more numbers if you choose to. 
Just watch out for the bad rolls
If you feel confident about rolling the dice, go ahead and do so.
If not, you may take your $4000 and stop.
What would you like to do, Bill?

[billmcdee]

One question, if I do roll a 2, which is a double 1, would I still lose even though I would have rolled doubles?

[ap2023]

I guess I wasn't clear.
Doubles are GOOD to roll, because they get you gold stars.
And yes, rolling two 1s is a double.
So, essentially, a 2 is NOT a bad roll.
(Sorry about that)

[billmcdee]

No problem.  Just wanted to be sure.

Since all rolls are still safe I'm going to roll 'em.

[ap2023]

And would you believe that your roll is....

TWO ones?
(Applause)
Normally, since the 2 is gone from the board, this would be a bad roll.
However, since you have rolled a DOUBLE, you also have a gold star.
The gold stars are good, because they can protect you in case you DO get a bad roll. 
(Think of the insurance markers from "High Rollers." The stars work very similar.
Now, since you have a gold star, you may now take another roll. 
If you get a bad roll, it won't harm you because of the gold star.
But, any bad roll after that will end the game. 
Of course, another DOUBLE earns you another gold star.
So, go ahead and roll the dice, Bill. 
And, good luck! 

[billmcdee]

(chuckling)  What are the odds of that?

[ap2023]

Let's see what this roll ends up as.

You have rolled an 11, Bill. 
What numbers would you like to remove from the board?

[billmcdee]

8 and 3 please April

[ap2023]

As you wish, Bill. The 8 and 3 are gone. 

And as you can see, your winnings are now up to $6000.

The GOOD ROLLS are: 4, 5, 6, 9 and 11
You can choose to continue rolling if you wish or you can take the $6000 and stop. 
What is your decision, Bill?

[billmcdee]

With 7 being a bad roll, I think I'll stop right here.

[ap2023]

Very well, Bill. 
You have chosen to stop playing and take the $6000.
(Applause)
So, your final result on today's show looks like this:


That $6000 is yours, Bill, as well as our thanks for playing "Lucky Roll."
Well, folks, that's all the time we have for on today's show.
Until next time, I'm April Martinez, hoping that YOUR next roll is a "lucky" one!
We'll see you next time!
(Closing credits roll as April talks with Bill)
