(audience groans) You've heard of "Break The Bank"? Bill would rather play "Bank The Bills". (scattered laughter from the crowd) (ding)The cautious strategy has paid off more than $50,000 and he leads in this game -- but he's down one game in the match. Matt's yet to score. Let's see what happens with this question. The New York Yankees, the Atlanta Braves or neither team. Who won the 1994 World Series?

That year's Fall Classic was canceled due to a players' strike. So "neither team" is right. (audience applause) All right, Matt, you've got a lot of ground to make up. Let's see what you can do. (Matt rolls)Starting off with a 9 for $900. Bank the 9 or put it all on the line? (audience shouts suggestions) |

(scattered cheers) He's gonna bank the money. (ding)Matt's in the chips for the first time this game. Bill's leading 2400 to 1800. Round 5 question coming. Debbi, Donna or Diahn. What is the first name of the founder of Mrs. Fields Bakeries?

I KNOW if I roll again it will be a 7, so I'm just taking $400.
Last round if I had banked the $500 instead of risking it, I would have won, so nope, no chances this time, sorry Double Decisions board operator, sorry audience. I am the original Mr. Chicken :V

(mix of boo and groans from the crowd) I don't know about you guys -- but in obviously brighter days for the gaming scene in Atlantic City, I could see Bill over here winning $200 in one spin of the slot machine and saying -- "Yup, that's it. I'm outta here." (scattered laughter from the crowd) (ding)I must confess. That happened to me at a casino on the Mississippi coast. Win $200 instantly. Get outta there. But back here at the dice table, Bill's leading by $1000. Round 6 starts now. Unless Matt banks exactly $1000, the catch-up round follows. Important question here. True or false: During his administration, President Jimmy Carter pardoned draft dodgers.

The day after he took his oath of office, President Carter granted an unconditional pardon to those who dodged the draft during the Vietnam War. "True" is right. (audience applause) Now for the free roll, Matt. (Matt rolls) Starting off with a 7. Normally that's a bust. But you never bust on the free roll. So we seed a new pot with $700. Next 7 in this round does count as a bust. So -- bank now and be down just $300 in the catch-up round -- or risk and roll again? (audience shouts suggestions) |

OMG, he's risking the money! (scattered laughter from the crowd) (Matt rolls)(scattered cheers) Bill, as Chris Myers from Fox Sports would say, "I kid because I care." Matt, as for you, you've better than doubled up the pot to $1600. Roll again or bank? (audience shouts suggestions) Remember, we have the catch-up round right after you bank or bust. |

(scattered cheers) Banking the sweet $1600. (ding) (tones sound)And with that, it's catch-up time once again. We already know how this works. Bill, you're trailing by $600. You'll need to roll something worth $600 or more to stay in the match. A 7 *is* still a bust roll; you're not going to gain or lose anything with the 7. Double decision board is still active -- and we need to reshuffle it. (amounts are shuffled on the double decision board; after shuffling stops, the amounts are covered immediately with the doubles)Even though we haven't touch the board this game, we still reshuffle it to add extra rolls of the dice. Bill -- your crown is on the line. When you're ready, please take your catch-up roll. (Bill, number from 1-100, please.) |

(Bill rolls) (loud groans from the crowd) OH!!!!! Short by one. Matt wins the match. (dings; audience applause)Wow. Bad beat leads to the crowning of a new champion. Matt, congratulations. We'll play the Bonus Bonanza shortly. Bill, despite the snakebite courtesy of the 5, how can we say you lost? With the money you banked in this and the previous game -- plus your prior winnings -- you're taking home our great thanks and $55,750. (audience cheers)Matt, you've got two cold coins and a shot at more than $1,000,000 -- when Hot Dice comes back. (commercial cue plays; audience applauds)

(audience cheers)And we're back on Hot Dice. Matt Ringgenberg won the match and banked $6850. But he's after so much more. Matt, time to play the Bonus Bonanza. We start you off with one free roll of the dice. This time it's worth $250 a point instead of $100. So you could seed the pot with $3000. When you're ready -- give 'em a roll. (Matt, number from 1-100 please.)

(Matt rolls)(scattered cheers) And you start off with a 6 -- times $250 means we start you off with a $1500 pot. Matt, as you know, the stakes are now higher -- and so are the risks. Anytime the dice total 5, 7 or 9, you'll bust -- meaning you lose everything in the pot and the game's over. But, every safe roll now pays $500 a point. The double decision board is now active. Three screens hide big money. Three others hide busts. Go to the board and find money, you win that much money -- and then we replace that cash prize with $1,000,000. (audience cheers)But if you find a bust, it's all over and you lose everything in the pot. Or do you? These are the two gold coins you earned in the match. If you run into any bust situation -- whether it's a 5, 7, 9 or bust from the board -- you must surrender a coin and roll again. Run into any bust situation without coins -- and then it's curtains for you, unfortunately. So -- what do you want to do? Bank $1500 and call it a day -- or risk and roll again? (audience shouts suggestions)

(Matt rolls) (doubles cue; audience cheers)Woah! Double decision time. Matt, you may take the safe route and have us add $1000 to the pot... ...or take a chance on the double 1 screen. If there's money, we put that much cash in the pot and you're closer to $1,000,000. If there's a bust, that'll cost you a gold coin and you'd have to come up with another safe roll before you can get a chance to bank the cash. So -- shall we make this roll worth a grand -- or go to the screen? (audience shouts suggestions)
