Rich Jeffries: "Guiding Light Burns Out" (audience laughs and 
applauds) will not be seen at this time -- so that we bring you this
energizing replacement.

======================================================================

(various scenes of casinos, poker tables and poker chips fade one after another as a smooth jazz theme plays)

Rich: CY$1,000,000 could be awarded tonight -- in the game of high hands and high rewards. From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, this is The New Net Poker.

 

(audience cheers)

Rich: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!

(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)

Doug: Thank you, Rich -- and hellooooooo, everybody. Welcome to The New Net Poker. You'll see our champion, Brian Henegar, later in this episode -- as he returns with more than CY$20,000 in winnings.

But we wanna start by giving one of you folks a chance to pick up 20-grand. (audience cheers) And maybe more. We're starting with the Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge -- and a new way to qualify.

In a moment, I'm going to ask each of you in the audience to lock in a bid from CY$1000 to CY$5000 inclusive in increments of CY$50. The player who turns in the lowest bid wins the right to spin against the outlaw.

Keep in mind the winning bid serves as a head start toward the goal of CY$10,000. Also, tie bids will cancel each other out. So you'll need to be strategic in bidding.

So, lock in a bid as you tell me -- how low will you go?

(think music plays)

Doug: OK, everyone's locked in. Let's see the lowest bid.

3 PEOPLE
CY$1200

(Greed tie sfx)

Doug: Unfortunately, this means those who bid 1200 will not get to play this go-round. Sorry. Next lowest?

BRIAN MOORE
CY$2000

(ding)

Doug: With CY$2000, Brian Moore, come on up!

(audience cheers)

Doug: Brian, welcome aboard. Your winning bid of CY$2000 goes into the bank.

 


(ding)

Doug: Now you get to pick one of our six video slot games. Behind each number is a different challenge. Which one would you like?

Brian: 3

Doug: Behind 3 we find...

 


(ding)

Doug: ...the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour slot game. Let's see that up there, fellers.



THREE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS=CY$1000
ANY PAIR=CY$2500
THREE TRIANGLES, Xs OR Os=CY$5000
THREE NMG-HSH LOGOS=CY$10,000

"MATCH THE STARS" OR "SECRET SQUARE"
=TRIGGERS BONUS

(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Brian, this slot game comes with two new bonus symbols -- "Match the Stars" and "Secret Square". I'll explain how each works when it pops up in the the third reel.

You see the paytable and what each combination offers. Remember, the third reel has "bad luck" -- which gives you a strike and forces you to spin again. There's also that mean ol' outlaw -- which will automatically assess three strikes. Once you get three strikes, you're out and your score will be reduced to CY$50.

But, if you can build the bank up to CY$10,000 or more without striking out, Rich, what does he win?

(sign comes from ceiling)

Rich: It's a bonus of CY$20,000.

(audience cheers)

Doug: So really, success could total more than CY$30,000. But if you want to just stop and take a couple of grand, fine by us.

Spin or stay?

(audience says "GO! GO!")

Brian: I'll give it a go.

Doug: All right, my man. Press that button -- and best of luck.

(Brian presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

(audience applause)

Doug: All right. Good start. Pair of O's for CY$2500 more. Total of CY$4500. Spin again or take that moolah and run?

(audience says "GO! GO!")

Brian: I'll do it again.

Doug: Spinning again. Go for it.
