*back to stage* Welcome back to Gambit. Now that Matt and Kourtney are all 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 $3,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But whoever gets an Ace and either a 10 or face card wins the Blackjack Bonus of $10,000! [LOUD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]During the commercial break, the good guys 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 an 9. Tony: After I finish reading the question, you have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. Here's the first question. KAHLUA, KAHUNA, OR CALAMARI: Which one is flavored with coffee? |

And Matt passes the 9 to Kourtney. Jennifer won't reveal the next card until someone answers the next question correctly. Here's the next one... GOYLE, HOYLE, OR MOHEL: Which one performs circumcisions? |

Post by tmann3x on Oct 26, 2024 19:34:06 GMT -5
Kourtney is keeping the card. Jennifer, please reveal Kourtney's next card. Jennifer: Kourtney's next card is a 6. Tony: Kourtney, you have a total of 15. Before I read the next question, you have a decision. Do you want to continue playing or freeze? |

Post by pathfinder20 on Oct 26, 2024 19:42:23 GMT -5
I will freeze. 🥶

Post by tmann3x on Oct 26, 2024 23:39:15 GMT -5
Jennifer will now place the Freeze marker on Kourtney's 15. Matt, you need a 16. To beat Kourtney's 15, you must answer each and every question right in order to stay in the game. If at any event that answer is incorrect, Kourtney wins round 1 and an additional $500. Matt, here's your question... and you have 24 hours to answer it. RUDY or ROCKY: Which title character from a sports picture was fictional? |

Don't worry, it's gonna come back in our next round. Next question for you, Matt. LENIN, MARX, OR GORBACHEV: Whose statue was pulled down from Red Square in 1991? |

Matt wins the round and $500. [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]At the end of round 1, Matt wins the first round and a total of $900 while Kourtney has 100 bucks. Coming up after the break, we'll have our second round and the Blackjack Bonus will come back in play. Kourtney will try to even up the score and force into a tie breaker. We'll return with more of Gambit in just a moment. See you on the other side.
