Doug: Michael, you've won it all. We're going to give you a shot at the Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge. First to THarper2 and Steven, thanks for playing. THarper, you've got CY$170 and Steven, CY$835 ain't bad. Thanks guys. (THarper2 and Steven exit stage left)

 

CY$2,250

   

PAIR=CY$1000
THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500
THREE SPADES=CY$7500

THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
OUTLAW=THREE STRIKES

THREE STRIKES REDUCE
PLAYER'S TOTAL TO CY$50

Doug: Michael, since you've won the most cyber-cash outright, you get to play the Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge. On the reels of the video slot machine are Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds. Only on the third wheel will you find the Outlaw.

So long as you spin at least a pair of a particular symbol, you'll win cyber-cash and not get a strike. A pair is worth CY$1000. Three of a kind pays CY$2500. Three spades means you win CY$7500.

If three different symbols come up on any spin, you get a strike. Spin the outlaw and it's an automatic three strikes. Once you get three strikes, you're out of the game and your audience game winnings are reduced to CY$50.

So, knowing that you could lose CY$2200 on this spin, would you like to stop and keep your cyber-cash -- or take a risk and spin?

Michael: Before I make my decision, I would just like to say "Hi, D.J." ;)

(light laughter)

Doug: Would you like to say "hi" to her boyfriend too? He's over there in the second row in the biker outfit. Yup, the one who weighs 280 pounds, stands 6'1" and answers to the nickname of "Sir". (more laughter) Now, that we've exchanged greetings, what's your pleasure?

Michael: I will spin.

Doug: OK, press that buzzer and spin away.

Michael: I gotta spin again.

Doug: Wow. (audience cheers) Risking CY$5200 in the hope you won't hit an outlaw. You know what to do.

Eddie: Yes, I'm spinning again.

(audience starts to chant "Michael! Michael!"...even D.J.'s boyfriend roots him on)

Doug: Woah. Still risking a lot on one spin. Go for it.

(they're still chanting as Michael presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

Doug: OK, just your first strike. Nothing to fret over. Only way you could lose CY$6200 is to hit an outlaw. Want to spin again?

Michael: I'm spinning again.

(crowd again cheers and chants "Michael! Michael!")

Doug: Woah, folks, settle down for a moment. Blinky, call Battle of the Netgame Geniuses and tell them we might be running late. (light laughter) OK, Michael, this is your fifth spin. Good luck.

(crowd chants again as Michael presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

Doug: Another pair, another 1000. Michael, just to remind you, you haven't gotten three of any kind. If you do, the payoff's CY$2500 unless it's three Spades. Triple Spade is worth CY$7500. (audience cheers...and then chants "Michael! Michael!") So, on this spin, you could either roughly double your winnings or lose darn near all of them. What's your decision?

Michael: I'm going on.

(audience cheers and chants "Michael! Michael!")

Doug: Pressing your luck -- just like some other infamous Michael. Good luck and press that buzzer.

(crowd chants as Michael presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

(audience cheers)

Doug: It's another pair. CY$1000 more for a total of CY$8250. You've spun six times and have one mark against you. Remember, if you get mismatching symbols, that's your second strike. An outlaw means an automatic three strikes and you're out CY$8200. What's your pleasure?

(audience chants "Michael! Michael!")

Michael: I'm going on.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Huh boy. Blinky, call the VBS63 Action News team and tell them the late night news will be on even later tonight! (audience laughs) OK, Michael, spin 'em.

Doug: Another pair. Nine-grand-plus. As Mike Lang would say, "Michael, Michael, motorcycle." Now, if you don't get another strike on this next spin, you'll break into five figures. Spin or stop?

(audience chants "Michael! Michael!" ... except for a few starting to beg him to stop)

Michael: I don't know who Mike Lang is. Is he one of your friends?

Doug: He's the play-by-play man for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mike hasn't had a lot to cheer about of late.

Michael: Anyway, I gotta at least get into the five figures. I'm spinning again.

(audience cheers)

Doug: You know what to do.

(crowd chants as Michael presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

Doug: OK, Michael. That's strike two. Now, here's the deal. The outlaw or mismatching symbols will give you your third strike. If and when that happens, you're total winnings will be reduced to CY$50 and the game ends. So, think it over... (about half the crowd chant "Michael! Michael!" while others say "STOP!") ...stop and take CY$9250 or risk a bunch? What's your decision?

Michael: I gotta risk it.

(audience cheers...and chants "Michael! Michael!")

Doug: Good luck, Michael. Hit that buzzer.

Doug: There it is. CY$10,250. If you keep spinning, you'll be risking more than 10-grand on each spin. What do you do now? Spin or stop?

(some still chant "Michael! Michael!"; others say "STOP!")

Michael: As I said before, I was going to get into the five figures, so I will stop.

(audience cheers) (smooth jazz theme plays)

Doug: He's stopping at CY$10,250. Congrats, Michael. Folks, we're out of time. Chico's back to defend his championship on the next show. 'Til then, make it a great day and keep the faith.
