OK, we'd planned to unveil our new, spiced up Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge in this episode. Unfortunately, Father Time's working against us. So that'll have to wait until another Net Poker show.
Instead, we'll play a quick audience game -- where we're only looking for one player and that player will have a chance to play a prize game similar to what the champ plays toward the end of Joker Poker.
So, the player closest to the right answer to this query gets to play that prize game. And away we go...
According to a recent survey, what percentage of those who responded say they're willing to vote for a woman as President of the United States?
(time passes)
Despite the fact Commander in Chief didn't last terribly long, survey *SAID*...
|
...79%. The survey was done by Siena College's Research Institute. And the closest is...
Charlie Pevey 85%
...Charlie, the original << BLANK >> of NMG-HSH. Standby, your game starts shortly.
======================================================================
("Showdown" by ELO plays over a montage of clips from previous
episodes of Net ShowDown)
D.J.: Net ShowDown -- with Joe Van Ginkel and me, D.J. Hamilton.
Joe: Only on VBS -- where the winners are.
======================================================================
Doug: Not much time left in the show -- so we're going to play a quick audience game -- with whom, Rich?
Rich: Doug, we're looking for Charlie Pevey. (audience cheers) Come on up! Here's your chance to win big on Net Poker.
(Charlie runs up to the stage)
Doug: Welcome, Charlie. Here's what we're going to do. I trust you saw how Dustin won that trip to San Antonio earlier. Now, you're going to do something similar. Take a look at the video screen.
|
Doug: It just dealt you a King of Hearts and four other cards hidden behind the numbers 1 through 4. Above the numbers, you see a prompt that says "select same rank". This means if you can draw another King -- and there's at least one other King on the board -- you'll win these prizes.
Rich: Charlie, this prize package is filled with fun and games. And it begins with this collection of board games. From Endless Games, a complete collection of board games including home versions of legendary game shows such as The Price is Right, Card Sharks and Concentration -- plus other fun titles such as "Jungle Jam", "Linq" and "Pop Smarts".
Next, host your own casino night with these replica gaming tables. From Name of the Game, a collection of replica tables for Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat and Texas Hold 'Em. Furnished by Name of the Game.
To complete your gameroom, flash back to the glory years of early '80s gaming with this full-size video game cabinet. (audience cheers) Part of Namco's class reunion series, this full-size arcade cabinet features three classic titles -- Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga.
Finally, we're adding a CY$10,000 bonus to make this package full of fun and games worth, in cyber-cash and virtual prizes, more than CY$19,650.
Doug: That's all yours if you can find another King. Which number's hiding a King?
Charlie: I'll take number 3, Dog -- I mean, Doug. (:))
Doug: OK, Randy Jackson! (more laughs) Before we reveal #3, we have time to make at least one counter-offer. We start by randomly revealing one number you did not select.
|
Doug: And it's a good thing you didn't choose #1 -- because that was not home to a King. It's a Jack of Clubs. Now, if you're still happy with #3, hang on to it. But, if for some reason you're having second thoughts, you may take CY$1000 for each card unrevealed as yet -- for a total of CY$3000.
Charlie: So an offer of CY$3,000 from upstairs, huh? Tell him "no deal". I'll hold on to #3.
Doug: (patting his head) I still have all my hair, right? (audience laughs) OK, you bypass CY$3000 -- and we have time to make another counter-offer. Let's reveal randomly another number Charlie did not select.
|
Doug: And it's good. Now for the counter-offer. Again, it's CY$1000 per unrevealed card or CY$2000. You may take that or hang on to #3.
Charlie: Hanging on to #3 for dear life!
Doug: Very well. But will you still hang on to #3 after we make one final counter-offer? Let's see #4 before we reveal #3.
|
Doug: Uh oh. (audience groans) The King of Diamonds. Now, Charlie, I promised at the outset there's at least one other King hidden on the board. There may be a total of three kings on the board -- the base card of the King of Hearts, the King of Diamonds we just revealed at #4 and either the King of Spades or Clubs at #3. But, if you sense there are no more Kings on the board, you may take our final counter-offer of CY$1000.
(some in the crowd say, "Go for it!"; others say, "Take the thousand.")
Charlie: I'm taking a gamble...you can keep the one grand. I'm gonna have me a look at #3.
Doug: Going for broke. All right, Charlie. It boils down to this. If there's another King behind #3, you'll win CY$10,000 plus the board games, the casino gaming tables and that video game cabinet. If #3 does not hide a King, D.J. will buy you a drink. (light laughter from the crowd) If you ask nicely.

does

Clubs?

(winning bells; audience cheers)
Doug: You win, Charlie! The board games, the video games, the casino gaming tables and of course CY$10,000. How do you feel?
Charlie: I feel woozy... I need some water... (leans over, passes out)
Doug: Oh my. MEDIC!
Doug: We'll do this again sometime soon. But hopefully sooner, we'll get to our new Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge -- where tens of thousands of cyber-dollars can be won with one spin of the reels. Either way, I hope we don't get this result.
D.J.: (runs with glass of water) Here I am. Charlie, baby. Wake up, here's some water.
Doug: While we revive Charlie, we'll sign off. Dustin and Michael will be back with us on the next Net Poker. D.J. of course will be back -- and so will I. We hope you'll be with us the next time we play Net Poker. Until then, make it a great day and keep the faith.
Rich: Some of our departing contestants will receive...
