Net Poker: Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge

Doug: OK, Michael, you're so far doing better than Deuces Wild. Here's a chance to do even better with the Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge. Behind each number, there's a different video slot game. Pick a number and we'll see what challenge you face.

ANY THREE FRUITS=CY$1000
ANY PAIR=CY$2000
THREE OF A KIND=CY$4000
THREE CHERRIES=CY$10,000

Doug: There we are. Michael, on the reels are three different fruits. You see you can now win up to CY$10,000 on one spin in this game.

In the third reel, there's a "bad luck" symbol and an outlaw. If you run into bad luck, you win nothing, are assessed a strike and you must spin again. If you spin an outlaw, that's an automatic three strikes.

Once you get that third strike, you're out of the game and your total from Pirate Poker and here is reduced to CY$50.

If however you can pile up at least CY$10,000, the cyber-cash will double -- and you'll also receive these gifts.

Rich: Michael, this prize package is all about kisses. After all, who doesn't enjoy a nice kiss?

(D.J. runs over to where Rich is off stage and plants a big wet one on his lips) (audience hoots and hollers)

Rich: Something like that could happen to you when you play the home DVD game of Family Feud. Survey says you'll have fun with this DVD game based on the long-running show Family Feud. Features 800 survey questions, score sheets and the voice of the show's current host, Richard Karn.

Next, it's a greatest hits compilation of the *rock band* KISS. From Universal International comes KISS: Greatest Hits. This CD includes 20 songs every member of the KISS Army will know -- including "Lick It Up", "Detroit Rock City" and "Rock And Roll All Nite".

Now, if you win this prize package, you'll have lots of traveling to do. And it starts in a city famous for chocolate kisses -- Hershey, Pennsylvania. (audience applause) You and a guest will fly to Hershey, Pennsylvania for a five-night stay in a luxury hotel. Get pampered in a chocolate spa and enjoy the rides at Hershey Park. Enjoy Hershey, Pennsylvania. Compliments of Club Universe.

This final prize will give you a chance to kiss the Blarney Stone. It's a trip to beautiful Ireland. (audience cheers) From Hershey, you and your companion will fly to Dublin, Ireland, and enjoy a six-night stay at a bed-and-breakfast. Enjoy the golf, the landscapes, the history and culture of breathtaking Ireland. Compliments of Club Universe.

This prize package full of kisses and *DUBLIN* the points (a few laughs and groans from the crowd) is worth more than CY$11,850.

Doug: Wow, two more trips you could win. But, if you want, you may take the CY$1750 and not even fool with this video slot game. What's your pleasure?

ANY THREE FRUITS=CY$1000
ANY PAIR=CY$2000
THREE OF A KIND=CY$4000
THREE CHERRIES=CY$10,000

Doug: Oh *man*. One cherry away from an automatic win. Since you ran into bad luck, you must spin again.

ANY THREE FRUITS=CY$1000
ANY PAIR=CY$2000
THREE OF A KIND=CY$4000
THREE CHERRIES=CY$10,000

Doug: Oh, man. Close to another pig payoff. Be careful, Michael. You must spin again.

ANY THREE FRUITS=CY$1000
ANY PAIR=CY$2000
THREE OF A KIND=CY$4000
THREE CHERRIES=CY$10,000

Doug: OK, Michael, you're in a bit of a pickle. One spin could make the difference between winning and losing. Any triple will put you over the top. Bad luck or an outlaw means you go down to 50. Think this over carefully -- take the CY$6750 or spin again?

ANY THREE FRUITS=CY$1000
ANY PAIR=CY$2000
THREE OF A KIND=CY$4000
THREE CHERRIES=CY$10,000

Doug: Oh, darn it. Bad luck nipped you three times and you're out. Well, this CY$50 consolation prize *will* count toward your tourney score.

We can now tell everyone that, indeed, the next episode begins our Quarter Million Playoff. Here's who's in the running for an extra CY$250,000...

Doug: ...Michael, with your tournament score of CY$168,550, you'll play against Andy Silikovitz in the first semi-final game. He has a tourney score of an even CY$160,000.

The other semi-final features our top seed, John Menjes. He had an unbelievable run as champ with a tournament score of CY$270,500. He'll play against the fourth seed, Andy Geller, with a score of CY$126,600.

Each semi-final winner plays for CY$50,000 in Deuces Wild. Both winning semi-finalists meet in the finals for the top prize of CY$250,000; the runner-up plays for up to CY$100,000 in Deuces Wild. And we have that extra somethin' somethin' for the winner of this tournament, too.

Also, during the tournament, we'll play our 26th "regular season" game with Dustin Riley, Robert McBride and Matt Taylor. The winner there plays for the progressive jackpot of CY$82,500.

*One* more thing. We'd planned to have this tournament take place at the Bonus Island Resort and Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi. That darn hurricane changed those plans -- but we're happy to report they're rebuilding and will reopen soon. Even better news, Rich Mann and company have opened a Bonus Island location -- in Tunica, south of Memphis, Tennessee.

Doug: You do that. So, until we see you from Tunica for Net Poker's Quarter Million Playoff, make it a great day and keep the faith.
