Doug: We're back -- and so's Nikolai. As I recall, this is your fifth trip to the Bonus Bonanza and sixth trip to any bonus round of Hot Dice. You know how the Bonanza works by now. Please go ahead and roll the bones for your free roll.

Doug: Well -- gotta start somewhere. Free roll in the Bonus Bonanza pays CY$250 per point. So we seed the pot with CY$750.
              
|
Doug: Quick reminder -- the bust rolls are 5, 7 and 9. Anytime the sum of the dice totals one of those numbers means you lose everything in the pot and the game's over.
Doug: The double decision board is now active. Three screens hide busts. The other three hide at least CY$20,000 each -- with the guarantee one holds CY$50,000.
Doug: And for winning two games in a row, we give you two gold coins. If you run into any bust situation, you must surrender a coin and roll again.
You *could* bank the 750 if you like -- or roll again.
Nikolai: I don't think I want to bank just yet. I'll give it another go.
Doug: Yeah, why not? Give 'em a go.

(scattered cheers)
Doug: All right -- better roll. A 6 times CY$500 means the pot's up to CY$3750. Now just to clarify -- if you roll again and run into three consecutive bust situations, you burn the coins and end up losing everything in the pot. So with that -- bank 'em or roll 'em?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Nikolai: I think the dice are still hot. Let's go again.
|
|
|
(scattered applause)
Doug: Well -- beats a bust. Pot's up to 5750. Still feeling lucky?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Nikolai: Let's do it again.
|
|
|
Doug: That's a 7. The bust roll will cost you one coin. Still have one left -- but you must roll again.
|
|
|
Doug: And that safe roll brings the pot up to CY$8750. Is that enough -- or do you roll again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Nikolai: It is now enough. I'm stopping.
Doug: And you're stopping at a record-setting total.
  
|
Doug: CY$107,850. (audience cheers) Will Schmarder is now number two on our money list with a still impressive CY$105,200. Congratulations.
*But* we're not done quite. Nikolai, we are, after all, Peter Mansbridge types of folks (a few laughs from the crowd) -- he's a Canadian newscaster for the uninitiated -- who adhere to the belief your right to know overrides your right to exist. *If* you rolled again, what would've happened.
|
|
(scattered cheers)
Doug: Yea, that would've cost you your last coin -- and you would've rolled again.
|
(scattered groans)
Doug: Oh -- another CY$5000 would've been nice. OK, we're done playing what if.
Nikolai, as long as you don't lose that second game, you get to keep on keepin' on. We'll see if Michael can put a stop to that later. We'll play an audience game in the meantime -- after this.
HOT DICE CONTINUES
