I have big news for all classic game show fans. Wink Martindale has announced on his Facebook page that he will upload 4 rare epsiodes of Gambit, one of his most popular game shows. He claims to have the last 2 episodes of the original Gambit and 2 episodes of Las Vegas Gambit (with the Gambit Galaxy bonus round). He will release the episodes as soon as his Facebook page reaches 4,200 likes. He needs only about 142 likes. So what do you guys think?

To be honest I have no idea what the game show Gambit is. It's never something I've heard of before.

Gambit is a game show similar to blackjack where contestants try to hit 21 without going over. It's kind of like GSN's Catch 21 but with married couples.

Gambit was definitely an interesting idea at the time, but it gets kind of boring after a while. Nice to see these episodes making their way back to the surface. To give you an example, here's an infamous clip.
A little boring in the maingame, makes you want to skip through it. It still has that primitive, 70's feel to it though. Las Vegas Gambit wasn't too different from it's predecessor, with few differences. The later run was shown on NBC instead of CBS and had a completely different bonus game in NBC's second half.
As for me, I really didn't like either runs. They were really both the same, and the game wasn't anything too spectacular. Not too memorable on my part.

What about the 1990s pilot with Bob Eubanks?
