Do your best and answer all the questions; no points will be deducted for an incorrect answer. You earn one point per each correct answer and five points for correctly answering the bonus question, a total of 17 points. No peeking at your neighbor's paper. You may start NOW!:

5. If a gambling game (e.g. Keno or Caribbean Stud) has $100,000 aggregate per game, what does that mean?

Send your answers to The GameMaster Online's Managing Editor, Brenda Moran at: theawesome1@yahoo.com. Brenda will be happy to forward your answers to me for judging. In case of disputed answers my decisions will be final, especially if I have made any embarrassing errors with my facts. The person or persons who score the best will have their names listed in next month's Mystery Dealer column along with the answers. I was going to offer T-shirts as prizes that say, "I solved the Mystery Dealer's Mystery," but I can't afford them on what Brenda pays me.

But The GameMaster has put $100 on the line as the prize.

Good luck on the quiz!
