Hazen Nester: From Studio 63, welcome to the card game where high hands can bring high rewards. This is Net Poker. (audience cheers) And now here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: Thank you, Hazen Nester. Helloooooo, everybody and Happy New Year! Welcome to Net Poker where Lady Luck could lead one of our players toward CY$72,500. Who could it be? Stick around and see. Heh, that was so Nipsey Russell of me. (audience laughs) Let's say hello to our dealer, D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a one piece white swimsuit with an image of the Queen of Diamonds on it)
D.J.: Hi, everyone.
Doug: Well, what's this for? A Christmas present from your boyfriend?
D.J.: Yeah. That and we just got back from Hawaii. Didn't feel like changing clothes!
(light laughter; a few whistles from the guys)
Doug: Huh-kay! Well, seriously, nice outfit. Who came to play today?
D.J.: We welcome to our first game of Net Poker of '04 Joe Kristoff, Chris Wolvie and our returning champion with CY$7000, Alan Timper. Good luck!

Doug: Thanks, Deej. Hello players. Welcome to our game. As always, we start it with...

Doug: ...Video Poker and as always, we start *this* with 10 points for each of you...

Doug: ...you'll have to earn points the rest of the way. And that begins with a series of five multple-choice, toss-up questions. Each time you chime in with the right answer, you win 10 points If all three of you miss, no one scores and we just play on from there. After the fifth question, you'll each get a turn at the video screen to earn more points. Right now, hands on buzzers as we're starting with the questions...

Doug: Our research department notes Roulette's a popular game of chance in Europe. On their wheel is the numbers 1 through 36 plus that dreaded 0. When it came to the States, some casinos wanted more of an edge -- so they threw in a 00. In any event, next query...
