(Big Numbers board is updated)5 numbers out, 5 grand so far, one Insurance Marker. I think a boxcars would look good right about now. Roll. (Bob rolls the dice)That's not what I had in mind. (I take Bob's insurance marker as the dice come back) Roll again. (Bob rolls the dice)[DOUBLES](audience cheers) You've stayed alive for now. I'd give you this marker back, but you need it. (the dice come back) If you're going to roll a doubles, make it a double-6. (Bob rolls the dice)Well, that does it. [BAD ROLL](audience groans) You did get 5 numbers knocked out, so that's an extra $5,000 cash. Gives you a total so far of... $44,847$44,847 in cash and prizes. (cheers and applause) And as soon as we find a challenger for you, we'll start a new game right away. [Who wants to challenge Bob?]

(two models escort him out) Well well, a lady at each arm. This is Sam Hodkin, and based on what it says on this card, he's from Manchester, England and visiting us "on holiday" as you say across the pond. Tell us some more about yourself.

Well, we do like to take care of our contestants. OK, ladies, you can get off his arms now. He's been spoiled enough. (the ladies vacate) You may not know this, but back in 1979, 41 years ago, Alex Trebek was host to a young lady from Manchester. She was a flight attendant named Pearl Kelly, and she won over $23,000 in cash and prizes. So, we're hoping to send more loot to Manchester.
Now, I understand that they didn't have a version of this game in your country. They adapted Gambit, but not High Rollers. Why do you think that is?

Hazarding a guess I would put it down to either regions not wanting to take it up or the IBA sticking their oar in. An oddity, but we sure missed out.

I'll say you did. Maybe we'll get Mark to pitch a version back to his home country. Anyway, good luck to you, and let's get started with the game. We have two full columns, so that means we're only adding one prize. Only one. Shadoe, what is it? (prize cue) Shadoe: (VO) How would you like to be a landowner? Well now you can. This is an opportunity to win 5 acres of land in Northeast Maine. It's a great wooded lot with deeded access to 2 beautiful sandy beach common areas a short walk from this property and also deeded access to a private pier for your use and enjoyment. Land has been surveyed, soil tested, warranty deeded, power is road side, and fronts on a year-round, paved road. Listing provided by point2homes.com. It's a prize worth $9,800. That gives Column 3 a value of $33,565; and the entire value of the board $121,228! [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[$38985] [$48678] [$33565]
GOOD ROLLS: [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

[COLUMN 3: DINING ROOM/KFC $10,000 CASH $4,000 IKEA TRAMPOLINE LAND IN MAINE]
(audience cheers) Greg: And we've just received word that the CHAZ or CHOP, or whatever it is, was cleared by Seattle police. That's why CHAZ has been replaced with Seattle on the board. So, that gives us three columns full of prizes, we can't add any more. We want people to take our prizes. That's why we offer them. Let's load in the numbers.

Hmmm, it's at Column 3 again. Roll of an 11 gets you the dining room package with Kentucky Fried Chicken, $10,000 in cash, a $4,000 IKEA shopping spree, the trampoline, and 5 acres of land in Northeast Maine. Over $33,000 in cash and prizes. Assam, darjeeling and oolong are all types of what? Coffee, tea, or milk?(buzzcode and answer, please)

And all the prizes James was lusting after are now on your side of the board. Over $33,000. But first, you have to win the game.

Was it the Battle of Gettysburg, the Hindenburg disaster, or Drew Carey hosting The Price is Right?(buzzcode and answer, please)
