All right, let's punctuate our show with another 24K Video Slot Challenge. In the interest of spreading the wealth, this is open to anyone who didn't play our main game. Closest to the right answer, high or low, gets to spin against the outlaw. Here's the question.
On August 12, 2012, at 6:00pm Central, we recorded a rerun of "Family Game Night" on The Hub. In total, how many points did the competing families score in this hour-long episode?
To clarify, we're not looking for the amount of money won from Monopoly crazy cash cards; we're looking for the total amount of points scored throughout the five games played after the Cranium Brain Break and before the segment involving the Monopoly crazy cash machine.
The only hint we'll give: This episode originally aired during the second season of "Family Game Night".
(time passes)
All right, let's go to the scoreboard.
RED |YLO.
----+----
950|1200 Operation Sam Dunk
1| 5 Simon Flash
100| 200 Spelling Bee
40| 50 Guesstures Free Fall
N/A| N/A Twister Lights Out
Yeah, the yellow team won the first four games. Twister Lights Out does not involve keeping any type of running point total -- but we can confirm the red family won the final game of the night two rounds to one.
So that means the families racked up a total of...
|
2546 POINTS |
|
...2546 points. And you're probably not going to be surprised to learn the yellow team won the overall game with $4595 from their crazy cash cards; the reds only got $740.
Who's going for our CY$24,000 bonus?

Doug: Thanks, Scarlett. Welcome back to Net Poker -- and welcome aboard Michael. Time for you to take on the 24K Video Slot Challenge. For winning the right to play the game, we give you a head start of CY$1500. Now you get a chance to win a lot more with the help of one of our video slot games. Which one would you like to play?
Michael: 1
Doug: The #1 game is...

Doug: ...ah, Area 51. Paging George Noory. (a few laughs from the crowd) Let's load it up.

    ANY THREE ALIENS=CY$1000 THREE ALIENS OF SAME COLOR=CY$5000 "AREA 51" OR SAUCER=TRIGGERS BONUS
|
|
Doug: A lucky spin could earn you as much as CY$5000 instantly. In the third reel, we have two bonus symbols that could be worth a lot of moolah. There's also an outlaw and "bad luck" to watch out for.
If you run into "bad luck", you get a strike and have to spin again. If an outlaw pops up in the last reel, it's an automatic three strikes. Once you get three strikes, the game's over and you lose everything.
However, if you can build that score up to CY$10,000 or more, we kick in a bonus of CY$24,000.
Doug: Now if you like, you may take the 1500 and stop -- or spin 'em and risk it all.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I could leave and try and find out who George Noory is (audience laughs) but that's no fun. I will spin.
Doug: All right -- before you spin, I forgot to tell you there's also a joker in the third reel. If that comes up and you have two natural aliens of the same color, that's CY$5000. So with that -- spin 'em.

Doug: And there's a joker and two different colored aliens. That's another CY$1000 for CY$2500. Want to spin again or stop?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I will spin again.

(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)
Doug: Ohhhh -- really!?!? Rub it in his face with "fail" across the top?
Michael, I'm terribly sorry you ran into the outlaw so soon. But you do go home with the Jules Jergensen watches we talked about earlier.
Friends, that's all the time we have. Until we see Andy again, we see David again and, hopefully, you again, make it a great day, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones.
(smooth jazz theme plays; credits roll; audience applauds)
