Looks pretty good. I wonder how much was the total after 3 games on the real show.

At this point, we're nearly finished with Skyline's all-French game, but so far, everyone has played relatively well.

I would now like to throw down the gauntlet and challenge Archstered to be our fourth contestant. Archie, as we say on Le Banquier, est-ce que cette offre est acceptee ou refusee ?

Oui? C'est super! Est acceptee!

Tres bien !

Stay tuned for what will most likely be a very exciting game, folks. We'll start opening the cases again... apres la pause .

Hopefully he does well. Will this be in french?

Most likely not. All-French games are somewhat difficult to do. The only reason why Skyline's game was in French was because we both speak the language.

I'll only do more French games if people explicitly request them. The majority of the members of this forum don't speak French, so it makes more sense to play them in English.

Look forward to it

Looks like I am the only one to beat the banker.

I'd like to explicitly request a game please, Mark, although in my mother tongue, rather than my adopted second language...

You've got it, Dan. I'll get to that once Archie finishes his battle with the Quebec banker .

Wonderful!

Pah, overtaken you, Mr.

In only four episodes, this game has developed one of the best track records on the forum. That's quite amazing, actually. All other versions pale in comparison, mostly due to rampant stupidity and way too many losers.

In only our fifth game, daniel123 became the first jackpot winner in Le Banquier history ! He takes home a total of $530,000 in cash and stuff. Way to go, Dan !

WOW, everyone so far won six figures and one player even won the jackpot. Not even Miljoenenjacht (the Dutch prime-time version with a top prize of €5,000,000) has a track-record like THAT!

Skyline gave us one for the ages in the Le Banquier Hanukkah Special, which turned out to be the longest game in forum history. He battled through to the end, and won $400,000 from his case. Combined with the various prizes he accumulated along the game, he left with a massive total - $448,500.

Congratulations once again, old sport .

We hope to crown more winners in Season 2, so stay tuned for that.

In our Season 2 premiere, willrelf dealt at $125,000, but missed out on just a bit more, as the jackpot remained in play until the end. His game also featured the first-ever appearance of the Banker's Gamble on a North American incarnation of Deal. He refused the gamble, and that turned out to be the right call, as there was only $10 in his case 7.

Combined with the prizes he won during the game, Will departed with $141,000 in cash and stuff, good for first position on our leaderboard.

After an extended hiatus, Ben won $325,500, including $300,000 from his case in an intense battle of wits against the Banker. He considered dealing at various points due to several generous six-figure offers, but ultimately decided to go the distance after throwing caution and analysis to the wind. This move paid off for him in spades .

Maybe you should get H2005 to play and then offer him an increased offer on the condition that he stickies this thread like I did.
