Doug: And welcome back to Hot Dice. Before we start the Bonus Bonanza, let's take a moment to meet the winner of our last game -- Nikolai. Tell the nice folks about yourself.
Nikolai: My name is Nikolai Wataja, I will be 27 in August, and I'm from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. I am currently in-between years of school at Confederation College, where I'm taking Television Broadcasting.
I'm a big sports fan, particularly of hockey -- go Penguins -- and I'm a fan of Thunder Bay sports teams like the Lakehead University Thunderwolves hockey team, Thunder Bay Chill of PDL soccer, and Thunder Bay Border Cats of Northwoods League baseball, the latter of which I am assisting with camera work for webcasts of a few of the Cats' home games.
Doug: All right. We wish you great luck in your further studies and pursuits. Now, let's see how lucky you are in the Bonus Bonanza.

Doug: The CY$8200 you've already banked you keep. Now you get a free roll here. This time, we'll start you off with CY$250 a point. So give 'em a roll.
|
     
|
Doug: Well -- gotta start somewhere. Four times 250 starts off the pot with a grand.
Now, going forward, if you decide to roll again, you're risking everything in the pot -- just like the main game. We're raising the stakes...
|
Doug: ...and the dangers. This time a roll of a 5, 7 or 9 results in a bust. The good news is avoid the bust rolls and we add CY$500 per point to the pot.
Doug: Double decision board is now active. Three of those screens hide payoffs of at least CY$20,000 each. One of them is guaranteed to hide the top payoff of CY$50,000. (audience cheers) But the bad news we have three busts hiding up there. So be careful.
So -- knowing what's at stake -- do you want to stop the bonus round and bank the CY$1000 -- or gamble it all away and roll again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Doug: Wait -- one more thing. I almost forgot.
Doug: You get a gold coin for winning the game. If you roll a 5, 7 or 9 -- or go to the board and bust there -- you must surrender this coin and roll again.
Now -- you can bank or roll.
Nikolai: I think I want to roll again.

|
(a few groans from the crowd)
Doug: Good thing I gave you the coin when you did -- because you have to use it. Next 9, 7 or 5 busts you out.
|
|
Doug: And it's a big 10. Pot's up to CY$6000. Do you want to bank and stop the bonus game -- or try to add more moolah to your name?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Nikolai: Call me a chicken, but I'm going to take the money and run.
Doug: (to crowd) Yeah, you're groaning because it's not *your* six large.
 
|
Doug: CY$14,200 for you after just one game. Now, since *they* seem like the Lesley Stahl types who believe your right to know overrides your right to exist -- (a few laughs from the crowd) -- roll 'em again. This won't count.
|
|
(a few gasps)
Doug: That would've been a double decision between CY$3000 or what? Reveal what's in the double 3 screen, please.
(ding) (loud groans from the crowd)
Doug: Ohhhh... emmmmm.... gee. Well, Nikolai, CY$14,200 after one game. Great haul. We'll have another game with Michael and Nikolai.
But as we head to break -- a change of pace. We normally play The Jackpot Game in the latter half of the show. We're playing after the break instead. Stay right here.
