Game show called 1 vs 100. The US version was on NBC and hosted by Bob Saget. The premise of the show is that a member of "the Crowd"gets choosen as "the One" and faces a 100 person group, called "the Mob". The three groups are asked a question and are asked to answerA,B, or C. Winnings are based on how many members of "the Mob" guess incorrectly. The more that get knocked out each round, the higher the earnings.After each round, the host asks "the One" if they would rather keep their earnings or continue on playing. If "the One" is to guessincorrectly on a question, the remaining "Mob" members will split the earnings. There are a couple lifelines too that deal with "the Crowd"but thats the general gist of the show. So far the Xbox Live Beta version has been

. Instead of winning actual $ though, on Xbox you will win Arcade gamesand Microsoft points. Well when the actual game comes out.

It is free. You should see if advertised on your dashboard once you sign onto Xbox Live (assuming you have it). It also is under Marketplace. Itspretty much impossible not to see some form of advertisement for it once signed onto Xbox Live since they have been going hard on that game since the Beta cameout.

 

[vanillagorilladx]

I doubt it'll remain free after it gets out of beta.. I hope it will, though.

 

[jonahtheballer]

Just played my first Extended Play game. I'd love to play one of the featured shows and get in the mob or be the 1, but I have no idea how to get to that.I got 102,000 or something, some people are crazy good and the leader had like 190,000. I did the best in my "party" or whatever it is

[h2]1 vs. 100 prizes unavailable in certain states and Quebec[/h2]
by Alexander Sliwinski { Jun 17th 2009 at 4:00PM }


There's going to be some drama when folks really start to catch on, so let's get it out of the way now: residents of Connecticut, Iowa, Maryland, Vermont, and the great province of Quebec, are not eligible for Xbox Live Primetime's 1 vs.100 prizes. This isn't spite on Microsoft's part, because, according to the company there are laws.

The statement from Microsoft's lawyers is that "due to gaming laws, which vary from state to state, '1 vs 100 skill-based prizes' cannot be offered in every state." The response neglects to provide any concrete reasoning why those four states and Quebec were unique, but does mention that players can participate through a sweepstakes.

We contacted Joystiq's Law of the Game columnist, Mark Methenitis, to see if he could give us a clearer explanation regarding the exclusions. The attorney -- who just happens to have gambling law as one of his practice areas -- explained, "When you see restrictions like these, it's either because Microsoft's legal department or the contest administrator isn't comfortable with some aspect of the state law. Taking Iowa as an example, their laws are such that many scholars believe participation in a game for any property of value would be illegal gambling. There's also a provision that if, for a fee, anything of value is delivered, and given that this is limited to Xbox Live Gold members, it may be the wording of the statute that leads them to believe the paid membership plus the game may be problematic."

Methenitis expresses that it's difficult to conclude why Microsoft chose those particular locales, but that it's "the direct result of the patchwork legislation among the states." If this seems unfair, then might we suggest contacting your congressman or, um, member of parliament? Something spooked Microsoft's lawyers into excluding those particular states. Find the full statements from Microsoft and Methenitis after the break.

[Thanks, Justin F]
Microsoft:
"Due to gaming laws, which vary from state to state, "1 vs 100 skill-based prizes" cannot be offered in every state. Residents of the excluded states can earn Sweepstakes entries by participating in "1 vs 100 on Xbox LIVE," or offline via mail by sending in 3x5 postcards to the Sweepstakes Administrator. Always check the Official Rules for full details regarding entry methods and limits."

Mark Methenitis:
"When it comes to gambling laws in the United States, 'mess' is almost too kind a term. Gambling is left to the jurisdiction of the states rather than the federal government in all respects, from online gambling to land-based casinos to sweepstakes. While there are some proposals to change the laws with regard to internet gambling, those are all still yet to pass Congress. So, when you see restrictions like these, it's either because Microsoft's legal department or the contest administrator isn't comfortable with some aspect of the state law. Taking Iowa as an example, their laws are such that many scholars believe participation in a game for any property of value would be illegal gambling. There's also a provision that if, for a fee, anything of value is delivered, and given that this is limited to Xbox Live Gold members, it may be the wording of the statute that leads them to believe the paid membership plus the game may beproblematic. It's difficult to say what exact provisions are giving the legal team heartburn in these jurisdictions, but the picking and choosing is certainly the direct result of the patchwork legislation among the states.
