Doug: We're back with more of Hot Dice. Before we start the Bonus Bonanza, let's take a moment to meet the winner of our last game -- Kourtney.
Kourtney: My name is Kourtney Wilson, I am 27 years old from Valdosta, Georgia. I am a customer service representative for a major company. I enjoy browsing the internet reading and Skyping with friends.

Doug: Nice to have you here from Valdosta. You already have CY$4100. That's all free and clear. Now let's see if you can top off a come-from-behind win with CY$50,000. First things first. A free roll of the dice. This time, you'll win CY$250 times the total of the dice roll.
|
     
|
Doug: And -- gotta start somewhere. You're starting with CY$750. May it get better from here.
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. If you can avoid busting, we add CY$500 per point to the pot.
Doug: The 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.
Doug: One more thing. For winning the game, we spot you one gold coin. If you run into a bust here at the dice table or on the double decision board, you must surrender the coin and roll again.
With all that said, Kourtney, you *could* stop here and bank the CY$750 -- or you may risk it all and roll again.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Kourtney: Let's roll again, I have nothing to lose for now.
|
 
|
(scattered cheers)
Doug: That's more like it. A roll of a 6 times CY$500 means we up the pot to CY$3750. Roll 'em again or stop?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Kourtney: Let's roll again.
|
|
Doug: Wow -- even better. Ten puts another five large in the pot. Want to bank CY$8750 or keep on keeping on?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Kourtney: Let's roll again.
Doug: Wow -- I hope you get big numbers or a double.
|
|
|
Doug: Oh, a 5. That's one of our bust rolls. That will cost you the gold coin. Next 5, 7 or 9 is a bust. Finding a double that leads to a bust also wipes you out for the Bonus Bonanza. Roll 'em.
|
|
 
|
Doug: And you dodge a bust. An 8 adds CY$4000 to the pot. You're up to CY$12,750 but you're out of gold coins. Roll again or bank?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Kourtney: Taking the money and run please.
Doug: Banking nearly CY$13,000. Great first trip to Bonus Bonanza.
  
|
Doug: Gives you a total for one win of CY$16,850. Win the next game -- and you play with two gold coins for better odds at winning big.
Speaking of winning big -- we gotta know whether or not you could've kept going. Roll 'em again for fun. This won't count.
|
|
(a few groans)
Doug: Well, you could've had another CY$4000. Total winnings would've been 20-large and change. Roll 'em again.
|
|
Doug: And *that* would've brought misery. Ultimately, you did the right thing. We'll play another game with Kourtney and Nikolai later. But we'll play a game with a lucky member of the audience -- right after this on Hot Dice.
