Burton: And now, it's the return of the game of high stakes, where every decision is a gamble, and every move could be your last...

It's...

SUPER HIGH ROLLERS!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

And now, here's your host, a man who's been nervous for the past 25 days as the world watches for the high-stakes Presidental Election, 7 days from now. The one with all the action, Dayo Kayode!

(DK walks out the 3 dice as Audience Cheers and Applause)

DK: Thank you, Burton Richardson! And good morning, one and all, and welcome to Super High Rollers, where the game of skill, strategy, sabotage...



...and these 3 unpredictable dice have gone to a whole new level!

[dad90]

And yes, we are back! I was normally going to do it on my birthday, but many things in life happened, so I'm not going to dive into it, as you know.

However, that actually did well in my favor, because....



It's That Time of Year again! Yes, it's the Holiday Season!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

It is here that this episode is going to be Holiday Themed, which always starts with Halloween and always ends with the New Year's, and I have 3 great contestants who are all ready to roll their way to winning a fortune of cash and prizes, and our first player knows this all too well, because he's our returning champion who has defeated the Super Numbers last time out, and his winnings have jumped up to $261,276 in cash and prizes!

Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for Matt Ringgenberg!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Matt, welcome back! This is your 3rd time here, and remind us who are you, what you do, and what are your plans for this Holiday Season....

[mringgenberg]

I am a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, IA. I am not yet sure what to do for the Holidays but it is early.

[dad90]

Well, you've got plenty of time to think about that, especially with all of that money in the bank, and hopefully, a lot of more coming up soon. Oh, and by the way, if you win this match, along with 2 future matches, that's a total of 5, and that means that you'll not only win a brand-new luxury car, but you'll be playing for the Hot Jackpot in the Super Numbers Bonus Round, and the Super Jackpot and a special Mega Showcase in the Drive to 25 Bonus Game, and you'll continue to play for those special bonuses as long as you are the champion.

However, these 2 challengers have all got something to say about that as they want you out of here, and the first of those 2 challengers is Shederick Weatherspoon Jr.!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Shederick, welcome to Super High Rollers! Tell us about yourself, where you're from, what you do, and what are you plans for this upcoming Holiday Season.

[djshadowwolf420]

I am a military officer from Baton Rouge, LA. I am going to plan out some festive holiday parties.

[dad90]

Well, first of all, thanks for your service, and I know that there's going to be plenty of holiday parties coming up, but after a certain event.

In any event, good luck to you, and to our 2nd challenger, George Cluster!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

George, welcome to Super High Rollers! Tell us about yourself, where you're from, what you do, and what are you plans for this upcoming Holiday Season.

[bighornbattle]

I am from Spartanburg, SC. I enjoy word searches, playing Mahjong, listen to 80s music, helping the Teen Titans out whenever possible, watch game shows, and listen to news themes around the world. Maybe either before the bonus round or the end of the show, I can introduce you all to my Titan friends. My plans is to split it with my Titan friends and use my share to get supplies for my upcoming book series. My book series will be about the NBA.

[dad90]

Ah! You're writing a book about the NBA! Can you give us a sneak preview of what you're going to be writing about?

[bighornbattle]

Mainly my video game NBA runs. What I do is a game-by-game results. I am still on book #1 of many. NBA 2K6 for the Xbox 360. I don't know how many books will be in my series. It takes time. Right now I am on season #1 of a lot of seasons. I also do specials in my book series. I don't know when book #1 will be done or when I will be finished. I hope I can get a new copy of NBA 2K6 for Xbox 360 since my current copy didn't let me save after my current game. Right now I am on game #25 I think.

[dad90]

Well, you certainly got a lot to write about, and I thank you for taking part of your time being here with us, and we'll certainly see your Titan friends later on.

But right now, I think it's about time that we ought to wish you, Shederick, and our defending champion Matt the very best of luck as we play Super High Rollers!



Now you all know how to play, but for those of you who have tuned in for the first time, let me explain.

We have 3 rounds of gameplay: Qualification, Elimination and Championship, and the object of the game is to try and eliminate as many of the 12 numbers as you can.

In the first round, the Qualification Round, the first Alex Trebek early 1970s era, we have the 12 numbers lined up like this...

[1]--[2]--[3]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[5]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]

And underneath the 12 numbers hide prizes, but 2 of them hide 2 halves of a prize that is worth more than $5,000.

Now, to win any prizes at all, you have to win the round, and you can do that in 2 ways:

1. Clear the Last Number(s) off of the board.
2. Force your opponents into a Bad Roll.

If you can do either of that in this round, you'll be moving on to the Championship Round, while the other two will be moving on to the Elimination Round.

However, we're going to take a commercial break right now, and when we come back, we'll get the first round underway on Super High Rollers, so stay with us.

(Commercial Break Cue; Audience Applauds)

[dad90]

(All Star Blitz Prize Reveal Cue Plays; Audience Applause)

DK: And welcome back to Super High Rollers, and you're just in time for the end of Daylight Savings Time, meaning that you have to turn the clock back by 1 hour as we get ready for the Holiday Season, and that's what this episode is about. In this first round, the Qualification Round, we're going to be celebrating the Holiday that just passed on the last day of October, Halloween, and all of these questions are about Halloween.

In fact, we have many treats on our board that totals over $34,000, including TWO special prizes up there on the board, including $10,000 in cash!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

If you are the person that has cleared the last number(s) off of the board, and you'll instantly win a flat $2,000 cash bonus!

Now players, in order to get control of the dice, you must answer a Toss-Up question correctly, and in this round, they are all Multiple-Choice.

So without further ado, good luck to all 3 of you, and here's the first question of the day, and it goes a little something like this...

Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993), directed by Henry Selick tells a story about Halloween Town and Christmas Town. Who is the one who found the portal between the two towns?

A. Doctor Finklestein
B. Sally the rag doll
C. Jack Skellington
D. Oogie Boogie the bogeyman

Matt: 39
Shederick: 3
George:5

Magic #: 67

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Jack Skellington

[dad90]

Jack Skellington is the one we're looking for!

(Audience Applause)

Jack Skellington, the "Pumpkin King", inadvertently finds the portal between Halloween Town and Christmas Town. Excited by his find and by the wonder that he saw in Christmas Town, he returns to Halloween Town and explains what he has found. The people of Halloween Town don't see it quite the same way, however. Playing along with the folks of Halloween Town, Jack finally announces that they would take over Christmas! Jack takes on the guise of Sandy Claws and rides a coffin pulled by skeletal reindeer! The real Santa is kidnapped and held prisoner by Oogie Boogie. Sally tries to stop this terrible event and eventually Jack comes to his senses. Jack then helps Sally rescue Santa Claus. Romance blossoms between Jack and Sally with a wonderful happy ending to this animated film.

Matt, for answering that question correctly, you get the first crack at the dice.

(Matt picks up the dice)

Now, the 3 dice will total anywhere from 3 to 18.

GOOD ROLLS: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

You will use the value of the roll to eliminate as many of the 12 numbers on the board as you can in any form of combination. In the event you roll a number that has no moves at all, you're out of the round. With that said, all 12 numbers are up there, and all rolls are good, so go ahead and roll the dice!

(Matt rolls the dice)



And the first roll of the day is a Double!

(Doubles!) (Audience Applause)

Whenever a player rolls a Double, that player will earn an Insurance Marker, which will protect them from 1 Bad Roll. However, if they roll a Bad Roll, and they don't have any Insurance Markers at that point, then I'm afraid that they are out.

Now Matt, the roll is a big, sweet 16, which is very unusual at this early stage. Which numbers would you like to take off?

[mringgenberg]

12 and 4

[dad90]

Going for 12 and 4, and they are...

[1]--[2]--[3]--[4]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[Home Bar]
[5]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[12]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[1/2 Montreal]

...a Home Bar and 1 Half of a Trip to Montreal!

(Audience Applause)

Insurance Markers/Prizes:

Matt: 1/Home Bar, 1/2 Montreal
Shederick: 0/None
George: 0/None

[1]--[2]--[3]--[XX]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[XX]
[5]--[6]--[7]--[8]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[?]
[9]--[10]--[11]--[XX]
[?]--[?]--[?]--[XX]

Find the other half of the trip and win this round, and you'll be on your way to Montreal.

Now, in order to win those prizes, you have to win the round. With that said, let's proceed to the next question.

CSI: NY had an episode titled "Boo". This episode aired on October 31, 2007 and is the sixth episode in Season 4. What is the name of the town where the murders take place?

A. Castle Rock
B. Amityville
C. Salem
D. Witches Bend

Matt: 2
Shederick: 4
George:10

Magic #: 50

(Buzz-In!)

And George buzzes in! What's your answer?

[bighornbattle]

Amityville.

[dad90]

Amityville is correct!

(Audience Applause)

The plot, of this part of the episode, centers on a slaughtered family in Amityville. The home, having been the scene where another family had died in a similar fashion, appears to be haunted. After DNA tests are done and past history of the previous murders is looked into, it is discovered that two people, Henry and Betty, had survived the past murders.

Henry and Betty did not want the new owners of the home to discover a suitcase full of bones which belonged to Henry's sister, whom he had accidentally shot years ago. Betty had hidden the body but when they learned that the new people were going to renovate the house, she wanted her child's bones back first.

While Henry was secretly in the house retrieving the bones, the family returned home early and that startled Henry! In his panic he shot all of them.

OK George, you are going to get the first opportunity to use the dice.

(George picks up the dice)

All rolls are good, so let's roll the dice and get some prizes!

(George rolls the dice)



And you've rolled an 8. Which number(s) are you going to take off?

[bighornbattle]

I thought it was a 8.

[dad90]

I fixed the roll now. It was an 8. Which number(s) will it be?

[bighornbattle]

8 please.
