 $100 money card and your randomized multiplier is 7, so $700 into your betting bank to start. And your first card is...  A four.   Back to the board we go Tony, please select any letter from A through Z and also select another number. |

 $200 and 28 multiplier so a whopping $5,600 more into your betting bank!  You now have $6,300 in your betting bank, and another card...  It's a Queen...  Now you have 14 Tony. You could freeze at this point and take on the house or you could go back to the Gambit Board and make another selection and hope that the next card isn't more than a 7. Freeze or continue Tony? |

 Not wanting to run the risk of losing all of your betting bank, understandable. In a moment we will show you the house's first card. After you see that, you will then make a wager about how confident you are that your 14 will win. Remember the house must always hit on 16 and below and must stand on all 17's and higher. What is the house's first card?  (loud groans from the gallery) OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! OHHHH if you had played on you would have had 21!!! However you could still come out of this with some money.  You have $6,300 and must wager at least half, or $3,150 Tony. What is your wager? |

 Very well the wager is now locked in. The only way you can beat the dealer is if the dealer goes over 21. If you do, you'll wind up with $10,000. No tie is possible in this situation. If the dealer's total comes to 17 to 21 however, you'll lose and wind up winning $2,600. Let's see the next card for the dealer please.  Oh no, a 4. That gives the house 11, so it cannot bust on this next card. Hoping for a 5 or less to stay alive...  Oh no! (buzzer) Darn it! The House ended up getting 21 instead.  You played cautiously and at least you didn't bust, you wind up with $2,600 Tony! Thank you for participating! |
