Doug: And welcome back to Net Poker. We've got some unfinished business with Ethan. He's won CY$6500 and could add a lot more in the video slot challenge. Ethan, take a look at the video slot machine. On the reels of the machine, you'll find symbols such as...
CY$6,500 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
Doug: ...uh... yeah. (audience laughs and applauds) I'm not even going to ask if this was another of Blinky's ideas. I know the answer! Anyway, Ethan, on the board we have Spades, Hearts, Clubs and I assume Diamonds which look like the ones found in your jewelry store. In any event, you'll take as many spins as you like.
Remember, if you get a pair of any symbol, you win CY$1000. Three of any kind is worth CY$2500. And you win CY$7500 for three spades.
Also, keep in mind if you spin three mismatching symbols, you get a strike. Plus, to keep you honest we have an outlaw only in that third reel. If he pops up, it's an automatic three strikes.
Once you get your third strike, you're out of the game and your winnings are reduced to CY$50.
Now, one more thing. To make this even more challenging, we're upping the ante in the video slot challenge. Right now you have CY$6500. If you can rack up CY$3500 more, you'd have CY$10,000. If you score at least 10-grand in this challenge, your winnings are augmented to CY$20,000. (audience cheers) And we'll also throw in a six-night stay to the Bonus Island Resort and Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi -- where our Quarter Million Playoff will take place.
So, knowing the risks and the rewards, want to take the CY$6500 without even spinning once -- or nearly risk it all and take a spin?
Ethan: What the hey... let's go for it!
Doug: Of course they're cheering -- it's not *their* CY$6500. (audience laughs) Seriously, Ethan, we're all with you. Good luck and give the machine a spin.
(Ethan presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)
CY$7,500 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
Doug: Got a pair for 1000 -- and I was right about jewelry representing Diamonds. I will tell you right now you're a triple away from a total of CY$20,000 and the trip to Gulfport. Stop here and take the 7500 or go for more?
Ethan: I'm so close, I wouldn't even think of quitting. Keep going!
Doug: Indeed. So close you can taste the sand. Uhhh... (audience laughs) Nevermind. Spin.
(Ethan presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)
CY$8,500 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
Doug: Another pair, another grand. CY$1500 shy of winning. Spin again?
Ethan: I'll most definitly spin again.
Doug: OK. Risking more than eight-grand on this spin. Go for it.
(Ethan presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)
CY$8,500 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
Doug: OK. First strike for three different symbols. Still have 8500. Spin again or stop?
Ethan: Spin again, please.
Doug: All right, good luck, Ethan.
(Ethan presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)
CY$8,500 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
Doug: Oh dear. Ethan, it's getting serious. One more strike and CY$8450 of your winnings go buh-bye. Want to stop here or tempt fate?
Ethan: No guts, no glory, Doug. I'm going on.
Doug: OK, Ethan. Good luck.
(Ethan presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)
CY$20,000 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
(winning bells; audience cheers)
Doug: Hey hey! A triple puts you over the top. Eleven-grand goes up to 20-grand. That and you're going to Gulfport. BTW, I gotta know. Did we have some strange illustration for the outlaw? Can we nudge that last reel?
CY$20,000 THREE OF A KIND=CY$2500 THREE SPADES=CY$7500
THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=ONE STRIKE
THREE STRIKES REDUCE |
(XFL play-by-play man says, "TOUCHDOWN! HEEEEEEE HATE ME!")
Doug: Oh, of course! Rod Smart -- when he was with the Las Vegas Outlaws. Stands to reason. Well, Ethan, thanks for playing and have a fun time in Gulfport. We're back with more Net Poker after this.
(smooth jazz theme plays) (audience applause)
