*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to Gambit. Now that both players are set, please allow me to explain the rules. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over. Each correct answer is $100 plus the option of either keeping the card or passing it to your opponent. Let's take a look at the big money board underneath my podium. [CLANG]The first player who has a combination of at least 21 wins the 21 bonus pot of $5,500. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But whoever gets an Ace and either a 10 or face card wins the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500! [LOUD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]During the commercial break, the lab rats at RANDOM.ORG have given our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed. J.Love will now break the seal and show our players and those of you watching at home the first card in round 1. Jenny...? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a 10! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]What an excellent card to start our first round. Nels and George... you have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. Here comes the first multiple choice clue. TRUE or FALSE: Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games, also wrote several episodes of the Nickelodeon sitcom "Clarissa Explains It All".

Buzz-code answer: 42 1st: NELS (14) 2nd: GEORGE (5) [BUZZ-IN]Nels...? Nels: True. Tony: True is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]You got your first 100 bucks. Do you want to keep the 10 or pass it to George? |

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Nels is keeping the 10. If his next card is an Ace, he'll win the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500. Jennifer won't reveal the next card unless someone answers the next question correctly. Here it comes... IRON MAIDEN, BLACK SABBATH, or PINK FLOYD: Who performed their final concert in 2017?

Buzz-code answer: 58 1st: GEORGE (49) 2nd: NELS (44) [BUZZ-IN]George...? George: Number 2... Tony: We'll accept it. Black Sabbath is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]Fair warning, George. If you pass it to Nels and it's an Ace, he'll win round 1 including the $17,500 Blackjack Bonus. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Nels? |

Earvin is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]$200. You have a 3. You need a 7 or 8 to get a 10 or 11. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Nels? |

George is keeping the card. Jennifer, please reveal George's next card. Jennifer: George, your next card is a 4. Tony: That brings his total to 7. Looking for a 3 or 4. Next question. YES or NO, are there any existing species of bird that are smaller than the hummingbird? |

Let's see an Ace, Jennifer. Please reveal Nels' next card. Jennifer: Nels, your next card is-- *slowly reveals card* a 4. [AUDIENCE GROANS]Tony: The Blackjack Bonus is out of play... but it will return in our next round. Nels... do you want to continue or freeze on your 14? |

Post by nelson21 on Feb 23, 2024 23:32:08 GMT -5
I’ll freeze just play it safe

Post by tmann3x on Feb 24, 2024 18:46:37 GMT -5
Jennifer will now place the freeze marker on your 14. George, you need to get at least an 8 in order to win the first round and an additional $500. You must answer each and every question correctly in order to stay in the game. If you give me an incorrect response or take too much time, the champ wil win it and an additional $500. Here's your question. A FAMOUS AUTHOR, A FAMOUS LAWYER or A FAMOUS POLITICIAN: Who said, “When in doubt, tell the truth”? |

Who is Mark Twain? A famous author is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]You now have $300. We're looking for at least a 8. Jennifer, please reveal George's next card. *Jennifer slowly reveals card* Jennifer: It's a King! Tony: And George wins round 1 and $500! [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]At the end of round 1, our challenger wins the first and a cash total of $800 while our champion Nels with no win, but ended up with $200. Coming up after the break, we'll be playing our second round. And while the pots are rising, who's gonna win it? We'll find out about the answer when Gambit returns following this announcement. Don't go away...
