(audience applause) (bells ring)
Doug: I wonder if they also forbid showing images of children eating crayons. (audience laughs) At the midway point in the round, Andy has CY$250, Erskine with 150 and Dave with 100.
Let's see D.J. for the Dice Risk.
D.J.: Crayons, Doug? Sheesh. Andy, you're about to determine our dealer's point. Behind these numbers, we have six different cards ranked between 4 and 10 inclusive but excluding a 7. Pick a number.
Andy: 5
D.J.: Behind the number 5 we have...
D.J.: ...a 9. And now, a warm welcome please to our dealer -- Dirty Harry!
(DH walks out to a chorus of boos)
D.J.: Nothing like spreading the love -- oh, wait that's We Love To Interrupt. (audience laughs)
Doug: We must congratulate them on 100 episodes, by the way. (audience cheers)
D.J.: Indeed. Now, the point is 9, players. In a moment, Harry will roll a pair of standard dice a maximum of seven times -- or until he matches the point of 9 or fails by rolling a 7.
If you feel he'll make his point of 9, you want to bet on "PASS". If you feel Harry will roll a 7 before matching the point, bet on "DON'T PASS". Correct predictions pay off at 1-to-1, incorrect predictions deduct the amount of the original wager and if Harry goes seven rolls without a 7 or 9, all wagers result in a push.
Doug: For this round, players, the minimum bet is CY$50. However, you may go "all in" and wager your entire stake. Please keep in mind you must bet in CY$50 increments. Good luck and place your bets.

D.J.: Give 'em a roll, honey.
