Once my Password Plus Lightning Round beta testing has concluded, I'd like to try out an idea for a Gambit Board cash bonus game.
Who would like to test run this?

Since I'm taking a break from hosting Gambit, I'll give it a try.

 Nels good luck as you're going to be playing against the house for a chance at hopefully thousands of dollars in cash! As you can see, any 21 will win you $5,000 in addition to any money you may have in your betting bank. Before we go to the Gambit Board, we must first break the seal on a brand new, freshly shuffled deck of 52 cards and Nels, please cut the cards at this time by selecting a number higher than 0 but lower than 52. |

Very good. Now to the Gambit Board we go Nels.  Hidden behind eight of those eleven numbers we have money cards. There's one worth $50, two each worth $100, $150 and $200 and one $250 money card. Whatever money card is revealed will then be multiplied by a random multiplier number which you will choose Nels and you will do so by selecting any letter of the alphabet from A through Z each time. Multiplier numbers range from 5 to 30. Once we determine the total value, that value will then be deposited into your betting bank and we will deal you up one card to form your Blackjack hand. Should you get to 21 exactly, you will automatically keep all of the money in your betting bank plus win a $5,000 bonus on top of that. If however your first two cards total 21, meaning an Ace and a card worth 10, that's a Blackjack and you will win the cash prize associated with the suit listed on the chart above. Two halves of a new automobile are also up on the board. If you reveal either of them, you will get to pick another number. If you reveal both halves of that car and get 21, you'll also drive home in a new Cadillac valued at $50,000. One other number on the board has a Power Chip. If you select that you'll get to select another number. You may only use the Power Chip during the round with your own hand and may only use it if you are dealt a card that would put you over 21. If that happens, you will then be required to take the next card for your hand. If you go over 21, you'll bust and win $0 in this round. Once you reach a score of 12 or more you'll have to decide if you wish to freeze or continue playing. As the game progresses I will explain more. For the moment Nels, I just need you to select a number from the Gambit Board as well as any letter from A through Z, and I wish you the very best of luck! |

Behind 3 we have... (clang)  $150 and that will be multiplied by...  Oh the biggest one, 30! So $4,500 going into your betting bank Nels. And let's see what your first card will be...  Got yourself a four.  And back to the Gambit Board we go.  The BlackJack bonus is out of play but still a chance to win big. Select another number please as well as any letter Nels. You may select the same letter of the alphabet if you wish. |

Box 6... (clang)  Oh my! Both halves of the car, so if you get 21 in any combination, in addition to winning your betting bank and $5,000 cash, you'll win a $50,000 Cadillac. Nothing but money cards left now up on the board, so Nels select yet another number please. |

(clang)  $200 and you stopped the random multiplier at 12, so another $2,400 into your betting bank. Nice sized bankroll!  $6,900 in your betting bank Nels, and here's your next card.  Well now, a 3, the little cards are welcomed as that will help you build up that betting bank.  So with a 7 we go back to the Gambit Board...  Select another number and any letter from A through Z please Nels. |

 $150 times 26! WOW! $3,900 MORE added to your betting bank Nels!  $10,800 now in your betting bank, and this card to go with 7...  How about another 7...  You now have 14 Nels. You could freeze or go back to the board again. You do have that power chip which you can use if the next card puts you over 21. Or you could freeze right there and try to play against the dealer right now. How do you want to proceed, freeze or continue? |

 $200 times 15, that should say $3,000 there! We'll add THAT to your betting bank!  $13,800. If another 7 is dealt up right now, you'll win $18,800 PLUS a new $50,000 automobile...all of that for another 7, let's see!  Oh no! A ten would bust you. Luckily you did reveal that Power Chip, so we will not give you that 10, however, you must take the next card. If it's less than an 8, you're still in business... The card is...  A FIVE! Now you have 19!  Dare one assume that you're going to elect to freeze on 19 Nels? |

 Very well. The car and the $5000 for Any 21 are out of play, nevertheless you have $13,800 to bet with trying to beat the dealer. The dealer must hit on 16 or less and must stand on 17 and higher. Before you make a wager Nels, we will show you the dealer's first card for this hand...  A five. Nels you have $13,800, you must wager at least half, or $6,900 on this hand. You may wager more if you wish. If you beat the dealer, we'll add your wager to your total, if the dealer beats 19, we'll deduct it, and in the event of a tie, it will be a push and you'll stay at $13,800. What is your wager Nels? |

 The good news is, worst case scenario, you're going to win $6,800, but we really want it to be $20,800! The house has a 5, and let's reveal the next card please...  (gasping and chatter from the audience) Wow! That's THREE fives now in a row that have been dealt up! Imagine that as a Texas Hold 'Em flop!  Now we're hoping to see either a 7 or an 8 for a win for you Nels. A 9 would be a push, but a ten, a face card or an ace will mean you lose $7,000. Let's deal the card...  Oh no! (BUZZER)  Your instincts said to only wager a little more than half, so your intuition proved right there Nels. Mercy if I had a nickel every time that happened to me at the casino, but alas they have all my nickels due to similar outcomes. You played it very well, and wind up with $6,800, thank you ever so much for testing out this game Nels. I'd love to hear your feedback. |
