The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw (1991)The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw is a 1991 television film starring Kenny Rogers and Reba McEntire.[10] Rogers reprises Hawkes in the fourth installment of the series. The film originally aired on NBC on November 3, 1991. It was nominated for a Costume Design Emmy.[11]{{Infobox television| show_name = The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw | image = | image_size = | image_alt = | caption = | genre = Western | creator = | based_on = | writer = Joe Byrne Jeb Rosebrook | screenplay = | story = | director = Dick Lowry | starring = Kenny Rogers Rick Rossovich Reba McEntire | narrated = | theme_music_composer = Mark Snow | country = United States | language = English | num_episodes = | executive_producer = | producer = Ann Kindberg | location = Big Sky Ranch Culver Studios Walt Disney's Golden Oak Ranch | editor = Anita Brandt-Burgoyne | cinematography = | runtime = 240 min[10] | company = Kenny Rogers Productions Viacom | distributor = NBC | budget = | network = NBC[10] | picture_format = Color | audio_format = Mono | first_aired = November 3, 1991 | last_aired = | preceded_by = | followed_by = | website = }} PlotIt's 1906 and professional gambling will be outlawed in just three weeks. Therefore, Burgundy Jones (McEntire) has just that long to get Brady Hawkes safely to San Francisco for the last poker tournament, with a very special mystery player. This is made more difficult, as Hawkes is still smarting after a hard fought loss to another professional poker player in England, who will also be at the tournament. ProductionThe film features Rogers' character running across a galaxy of old TV western characters played by the original actors, including Gene Barry as Bat Masterson, Hugh O'Brian as Wyatt Earp, Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick, Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie, David Carradine as Kung Fu's Caine, Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford from The Rifleman, Brian Keith as The Westerner, James Drury and Doug McClure from The Virginian, Paul Brinegar from Rawhide, and Reba McEntire as Burgundy Jones. The characters are attending a poker game said to be in honor of "the late Mr. Paladin" from Have Gun - Will Travel (the actor who played him, Richard Boone, had died in 1981). The game was played at the hotel at which Paladin lived. The game's dealer is "Hey Girl", Paladin's friend. As each veteran character appears, a few bars from his original series' theme momentarily plays in the background, reminiscent of a doorbell. Everyone in the film, including President Theodore Roosevelt (Claude Akins), seems openly thrilled to encounter Brady Hawkes. The Gambler Returns was directed by Dick Lowry. Cast{{div col}}

Future filmsOn March 15, 2011 Kenny Rogers told Jimmy Fallon on his TV show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, that he was asked if he would want to be in another Gambler movie. He began by saying that he had a bad knee and thought it would be hard for him but continued and said that the first scene in the movie would be a shootout. Supposedly he would get shot in the shoulder and knee to cover his physical disabilities.[13] This looks unlikely, however, as in the years that followed Rogers announced his retirement from show business and stated that his 2016 tour would be his last and after this he would be spending his time with family.
