The 41st and 43rd Presidents of the U.S. share the same last name. Of Buchanan, Johnson or Adams, which last name is not shared by two or more former U.S. Presidents?
Doug: Eddie.
Eddie: There was only one Buchanan.
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) James Buchanan, the only unmarried President and the only Buchanan elected to the highest office in the land. Eddie, free roll for you.

Doug: Double 2 -- however, no double decision to make on the free roll. So we seed a new pot with CY$400.
Double decision board is now active for the rest of this game. Eddie, regardless of how much distance you're able to put between you and Will, there will always be at least one way he can catch up in the catch-up round.
So -- bank the 400 or roll again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: I'll try to extend the lead a bit more. Work with me, dice.

Doug: Woah! Big one. Four and six boost the pot up to CY$1400. Care to roll again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: Nope, I think that's enough.
Doug: Another CY$1400 into your bank.

Doug: All right -- catch-up time. Will, since you're trailing, you'll start us off. Eddie, if necessary, you'll roll.
In the catch-up round, we don't build a pot. You get the one roll -- and we then add its value in hundreds of cyber-dollars to your bank. A 7 is still a bust -- but you won't gain or lose anything.
Will, with a CY$1700 difference in the score, you've got to hope for a double. Speaking of which, the double decision board is still active -- as we shuffle in some helpful surprises.
Doug: Will, one of those doubles will tie the score automatically. At least one other will give you cyber-money and an extra roll of the dice.
We've had a good number of sevens in this game and just one double that came on a free roll. So anything can happen. Let's see you make it happen.
|
Doug: A 2 and a 3 for CY$500. Not enough to catch up. Eddie wins.

Doug: Eddie, it wasn't easy with all those busts early on. But you prevailed and won another CY$3300. Standby for another Bonus Bonanza.
Will, just your first loss. Not only will you be back in the next game, we'll have "lose loss" hidden somewhere on the double decision board. So you can make a comeback.
We'll take a break as Eddie heads to a familiar place -- the Prudential at the ha-- uh -- Bonus Bonanza. (audience laughs) Give me another 15 minutes, folks. The meds will kick in by then. Back in a moment.
