Doug: And welcome back. We'll resume our main game in just a moment -- but first, does anyone want to win CY$24,000?
Doug: That and much more awaits in our 24K Video Slot Challenge. To participate, just lock in a bid from CY$1000 to CY$5000 in increments of CY$50. The player who turns in the lowest non-duplicate bid will have that amount as a starting point toward the goal of CY$10,000 -- which will lead to that CY$24,000 bonus.
So, go ahead and lock in a bid.
Doug: And time's up. Let's see who locked in the lowest unique bid.
Dom Falance CY$1000
Doug: No one else bid the minimum. Dom Falance, come on up!
Doug: Dom, congratulations. The CY$1000 you bid goes up on the scoreboard.

Doug: Now, you get pick a number. Each of those numbered spaces hides a different video slot game. Pick a number and we'll load that game.
Dom: Numero seis por favor.
Doug: Behind 6 we find...

Doug: ...the game based on our new show Hot Dice. Load 'er up, guys.

SUM OF DICE IN FIRST TWO |
|
Doug: This oughta be fun. In each of the first two reels, we have the dice faces 1 through 6 inclusive. We also have the multipliers 100 through 500 inclusive in the third reel.
As long as a multiplier pops in on the last reel, we add cyber-money to your score. So if you can get boxcar, boxcar, times 500 in one spin -- well, you can do the math; it all means mucho dinero.
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Be careful -- because we have bad luck and the outlaw in the third reel. If you run into bad luck, that's one strike and you have to spin again. If you run into an outlaw, that's three strikes automatically.
The game ends when you reach the goal of CY$10,000 -- resulting in a bonus payoff of CY$24,000 -- or you get your third string -- resulting in a loss of everything.
Knowing that you're gambling everything on each spin, you can take the CY$1000 right now and run -- or go for it and spin.
Dom: We rollin'.

SUM OF DICE IN FIRST TWO |
|
Doug: Those first two reels total 7. Now if we were playing the real Hot Dice, 7 would usually bring bad news. But here, 7 times 100 at the end brings you up to CY$1700. Spin again or stay?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: I ain't here for small change, I'm here to let it ride.
(Dom presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

SUM OF DICE IN FIRST TWO |

Doug: Got another 7 -- this time multplied by 250. You've virtually doubled your score. Is 3450 enough -- or are you spinning again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: They see me rollin.
(Dom presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

SUM OF DICE IN FIRST TWO |
|
(audience applause; a few groans)
Doug: Oh, if only the 500 multiplier popped up at the end. Well, it's another safe spin. Up to 4450. Spin again or keep your winnings?
(audience shouts suggestions)

SUM OF DICE IN FIRST TWO |
|
(audience applause; a few groans)
Doug: Another big sum from the first two reels. If only the third were cooperative. Good part is you're past the halfway point to the goal of CY$10,000.
It's mathematically possible to reach that goal on the next spin. If the first two reels total more than 9 *and* you can get that 500 to pop up in the last reel, you're home free and win the 24K bonus.
What's also nice about this -- no marks against you. But one spin could turn that around for the worse in a hurry.
What do you think? Take the CY$5350 and stop -- or gamble it all on the next spin?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: Let's get it on.
Doug: Best of luck.
(Dom presses buzzer to activate video slot machine)

SUM OF DICE IN FIRST TWO |

Doug: Good payoff here. Eight times 250 adds two large to your score. CY$7350. Still no strikes. Want to try to move forward again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: You know, seven large plus is good enough for me, Sir Douglas. We cashin' out.
(some in the crowd applaud; others groan)
Doug: Don't listen to those booing, Dom. It's your money now -- not theirs.
However -- before we cut you that check for 7350, you are aware we're Scott Pelley types of people who adhere to the belief that your right to know supercedes your right to exist.
(a few laughs from the crowd)
Doug: Had you spun again, what would've happened? Just press the button. This won't count.
