GAME PROCESSES
44. One Bid Process:
• The One Bid process is used to determine which one (1) of the four (4) Contestants on contestants’ row will have the chance to participate in the pricing games described below.
• A prize is described by the Show announcer and displayed onstage. The four (4) Contestants on contestants’ row bid on the price of the prize. No two Contestants may bid the exact same price on the same item.
• The Contestant who bids closest to the retail price of the prize (without exceeding the price of the prize) will come onstage to participate in the game process.
• The three (3) remaining Contestants return to their seats with a Consolation Prize.
• Should a Contestant bid the exact retail price of the item, s/he will receive a $100.00 cash bonus. Any cash paid immediately on stage to the Contestant is for display purposes only, to be replaced by a checks issued by the Producers and sent by mail to address provided by winning contestant.
• In the event that all of the Contestants have overbid, a buzzer will sound. The host will then ask each of the Contestants to make another bid lower than the lowest of the previous bids. The Contestants will place their second bids in the order of the original bids. Play continues in this manner until there is at least one Contestant who has NOT overbid. If the price of the One Bid is accidentally or inadvertently revealed before the Contestants can place new bids, the Contestant
whose bid was closest to the price of the One Bid item without exceeding the price of the item will play the pricing game on stage.
• Prior to playing a pricing game, if the Eligible Individual on stage is found to be ineligible, the Contestant from the remaining three One Bid players whose bid was next closest to the price of the One Bid item, without exceeding the price of the item, will play the pricing game on stage. If all three (3) remaining Contestants have overbid, the Contestant whose bid was closest to the price of the One Bid will play the pricing game on stage.
• In the event of an error in a One Bid, the stage game prize that would have been played for by the Contestant that should have won is awarded to that Contestant.
45. Punch a Bunch Game Process:
• The Contestant playing Punch A Bunch may win up to $5,000.
• The game board is a punchboard with 50 paper-covered holes, each containing a card with a dollar value which is one of the following: $100, $200, $300, $500, $750, $1000 or $5,000. The producers reserve the right to alter the dollar values on the cards.
• The Contestant is shown four grocery items, each tagged with an incorrect price.
• The announcer describes the first item and the Contestant states whether the correct price for the item is higher or lower than the price displayed. If the Contestant is correct, s/he earns one punch at the board and makes the punch wherever s/he chooses. The card inside the punched hole remains inside the hole and is not revealed. If the Contestant is incorrect, no hole is punched. The announcer then describes the second item and the Contestant states whether the correct price for the item is higher or lower than the price displayed. If the Contestant is correct, s/he earns one punch at the board, as described above. This continues one item at a time, until the prices of all four items have been revealed and punches have been made for each correct answer.
• The card in the first hole punched is removed and shown to the Contestant. The Contestant then decides whether to keep the cash amount shown on the card and end the game or to give back the card and continue. If the Contestant elects to keep the amount shown on the card, the game is over. If the Contestant chooses to continue, s/he returns the card to the host. The amount on that card is thereby forfeited. Then the card in the second hole punched is revealed and the Contestant again chooses whether to quit and keep the amount on the card that has just been revealed, or to return the card and continue playing. This continues until the Contestant either accepts the cash amount shown on a card or has no more holes to look in. If there are no remaining punched holes, the Contestant wins the amount of money shown on the card found in the final hole.
• If one of the holes punched does not contain a card, the game is stopped and the cards are reshuffled and reset. The game then continues as described above.
46. Any Number Game Process:
• The game board contains ten (10) spaces representing four (4) digits for Prize #1, three (3) digits for Prize #2, and three (3) digits for the Piggy Bank. Only the Piggy Bank amount has a decimal point.
• The Contestant chooses a digit 0 through 9. Each digit appears on the board only once. The digit the Contestant has chosen is then lighted up, revealing its location on the game board. The Contestant then chooses another digit and its location on the game board is revealed. The Contestant continues calling out digits, one at a time. If all of the digits in the Piggy Bank are filled in, the game is over and the Contestant wins the amount in the Piggy Bank. If all of the
digits in Prize #1 (the 4-digit prize) are filled in, the game is over, and the Contestant wins Prize #1. If all the digits in Prize #2 (the 3-digit prize) are filled in, the Contestant wins that prize and the game is over.
• If a total equipment failure occurs which prevents the Contestant from being able to play or to complete playing the game, the Contestant is awarded Prize #1 and Prize #2.
47. Cliff Hangers Game Process:
• The Contestant comes on stage to play Cliff Hangers for a prize package.
• The game is played on a graphic representation of a mountain which ascends to an abrupt cliff. At the base of the mountain stands a mountain climber whose pickaxe marks his position on the mountain. The mountain is divided into twenty-five (25) steps from the base to the edge of the cliff. The Contestant wins the prize package if the mountain climber does not move more than twenty-five (25) steps, and remains on the mountain.
• Three (3) small items are displayed onstage and described by the announcer.
• The Contestant bids on the price of the first item presented. If the Contestant correctly bids the price, the mountain climber does not move. If the Contestant does not bid the exact price of the item the mountain climber must ascend the mountain. The mountain climber ascends one (1) step along the mountain for every dollar the Contestant’s bid differs from the price of the item. If the mountain climber falls off the mountain, the game is over and the Contestant does not win the prize package.
• The Contestant bids on the price of the second item presented. If the Contestant correctly bids the price, the mountain climber does not move from its current position. If the Contestant does not bid the exact price of the item the mountain climber must ascend the mountain. The mountain climber ascends one (1) step along the mountain from its current position for every dollar the Contestant’s bid differs from the price of the item. If the mountain climber falls off the mountain, the game is over and the Contestant does not win the prize package.
• The Contestant bids on the price of the third item presented. If the Contestant correctly bids the price, the mountain climber does not move from its current position. If the Contestant does not bid the exact price of the item the mountain climber must ascend the mountain. The mountain climber ascends one (1) step along the mountain from its current position for every dollar the Contestant’s bid differs from the price of the item. If the mountain climber falls off the mountain, the game is over and the Contestant does not win the prize package. If the mountain climber does not fall off the mountain, the Contestant wins the prize package.
• If an error that would have changed the final outcome of the game is discovered following the conclusion of the game, the Contestant is awarded the prize package.
48. The Big Wheel :
• From among the pool of Eligible Individuals who were not selected to participate in the One Bid Process (and therefore did not have the opportunity to play a pricing game), Producer will select three (3) Contestants to spin the Big Wheel. If any of the three (3) Eligible Individuals selected is not present in the showroom when her/his name is called or is in the showroom but doesn’t make her/his presence known when her/his name is called, s/he forfeits the opportunity to play the Big Wheel and another Eligible Individual will be called.
• The Big Wheel is a wheel with twenty (20) numbered spaces. The numbering system begins at 5 cents ($.05) and increases by 5-cent increments through one dollar ($1.00).
• The Contestant who gets closest to one dollar ($1.00) without exceeding one dollar ($1.00), using one (1) spin or a combination of two (2) spins, wins a prize.
• The Contestants spin the wheel in the order in which they were selected.
• Each Contestant must spin the wheel one (1) full revolution. If a Contestant does not spin the wheel one (1) full revolution, that spin is invalid and the contestant must spin again. If the Contestant still cannot spin the wheel one (1) full revolution, the host may assist the Contestant with his/her spin.
• Before the first Contestant spins the- Big Wheel, the wheel is set to the one dollar ($1.00)space.
• Each Contestant spins the wheel. The amount that the wheel lands on is the Contestant’s score for the first spin. Once the wheel has stopped for three (3) seconds, the spin is considered final, even if the wheel should subsequently move to an adjacent space. After his/her first spin, the Contestant must decide if s/he would like to spin the wheel one (1) more spin. If the Contestant decides not to spin the wheel again, his/her final score is the score from his/her first spin. If
the Contestant decides to spin the wheel again, s/he spins the wheel and the amount that the wheel lands on is the Contestant’s score for the second spin. The scores from the first spin and second spin are added together to be the Eligible Individual’s final score. *Eligible Individual needs assistance with his/her second spin, host may assist the Contestant OR if Big Wheel does not make a full revolution during the second spin, Contestant must spin again.).
• The Contestant whose final score is closest to one dollar ($1.00) without exceeding one dollar ($1.00) is the winner of the Big Wheel game and wins the two hundred and fifty dollar ($250.00)cash prize. If the Contestant’s final score is over one dollar ($1.00) the Contestant no longer participates in the Big Wheel game.
• If any Contestant spins exactly one dollar ($1.00) in one (1) or a combination of two (2) spins, s/he wins one hundred dollars ($100.00) and gets a bonus spin. For the bonus spin, the wheel is reset to the 5-cent ($.05) space. The Contestant spins the wheel one (1) time. If the Contestant does not spin the wheel one (1) full revolution the spin is invalid and the Contestant does not receive an additional bonus spin. If the wheel lands on the 5-cent or 15-cent ($.05 or $.15) sections, the Contestant wins an additional five hundred dollars ($500.00). If the wheel lands on the one dollar ($1.00) space, the Contestant wins an additional one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
• In the event that one or more Contestants have the same final score, a spin-off is held. Each of the Contestants with the highest final scores is allowed one (1) additional spin of the wheel. Spinning order remains the same between the two Contestants. Whoever achieves the highest score on the spin-off spin is the winner of the Big Wheel game. If a Contestant participating in the spin-off lands on the one dollar ($1.00) spot during the spin-off, s/he will win one hundred
dollars ($100.00) and will earn a bonus spin. For the spin-off bonus spin, the wheel is reset to the 5-cent ($.05) space. The Contestant spins the wheel one (1) time. If the Contestant does not spin the wheel one (1) full revolution the spin is invalid and the Contestant does not receive an additional bonus spin. if the wheel lands on either the 5-cent or 15-cent ($.05 or $.15) sections, the Contestant wins an additional five hundred ($500.00). If the wheel lands on the one dollar
($1.00) space, the Contestant wins an additional one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
• In the event that one or more Contestants have the same final score and that final score is one dollar ($1.00), a bonus spin-off occurs. For the bonus spin-off, each of the participating Contestants is allowed one (1) additional spin of the wheel. Spinning order remains the same between the two Contestants. Prior to each bonus spin-off spin, the wheel is reset to the five-cent ($.05) space. If an Contestant spins and the wheel lands on the five-cent ($.05) or fifteen-cent ($.15) space, the Contestant wins an additional five hundred dollars ($500.00). If an Contestant spins and the wheel lands on the one dollar ($1.00) space, the Contestant wins an additional one thousand dollars ($1000.00). If an Contestant does not spin the wheel one (1) full revolution for the bonus spin-off, s/he must spin again. However, that spin is no longer considered a bonus spin, and the Contestant would not be eligible for the cash bonuses described above. The winning Contestant in the spin-off wins the $250 prize.
• In the case of the Wheel malfunctioning in a way in which the Producers determine that equitable play is unable to continue, players who are still competing will each receive $250. In case a malfunction of this nature should occur during a bonus spin, the Contestant(s) will receive the top prize of $1,000.
• Any cash paid immediately on stage to the Contestant is for display purposes only, to be replaced by a cash voucher after the Show. Non-winners will receive a Consolation Prize.
49. Check Out
• The Contestant comes on stage to play Check Out for a prize package. If the Contestant can price five grocery items and come within $2.00 of the total actual price of the five items, s/he wins the prize package.
• Five (5) grocery items are shown on stage and described by the announcer.
• One at a time, the contestant guesses the price of each item. Their guess is shown on the screen.
• The total of the five prices given by the contestant is then displayed.
• One at a time, the actual price of each item is revealed. After each reveal, a cumulative total of the prices revealed thus far is displayed.
• After the actual price of the fifth item is revealed, the final actual total is displayed. If the contestant’s total is within $2.00 (higher or lower) than the actual total, the contestant wins the prize.
• If any errors that would change the outcome of the game are made by the Producers or Show staff, the Contestant is awarded the prize package.
50. The Plinko® Game Process:
• The Plinko® game is played on a tall rod-studded surface that is almost upright and it is played with discs that are dropped one at a time from a position above the multi-rodded surface. Each disc falls, by gravity, and bounces off the rods in its path until it reaches the bottom and drops into one of the nine receptacles. The nine receptacles are worth dollar values ranging from $0 up to $500, i.e. $50, $100, $250, $0, $500, $0, $250, $100, $50. The producers reserve the right to alter the dollar values on the receptacles.
• The Contestant is awarded one(1) disc upon starting the game, and then can win up to four (4) more in a pricing game as follows:
• There are four (4) small items with their prices in two (2) digits apiece. One (1) of the two (2) digits is the actual true number, the other digit is a false number. The Contestant must select the true digit. If s/he is right, a disc is won. If s/he is wrong, then the true digit is revealed and that opportunity is
lost. (e.g., A rice cooker valued at $50 is shown with these two digits: 8 0. The second digit is the correct digit and selecting the zero (0) wins the player another disc. The first digit is false and selecting the eight (8) loses that opportunity to get that disc.)
• Contestants do NOT win any of the items that they price in this game.
• In the event of graphics being incorrectly loaded in the game, if it would change the outcome of game, the Contestant is awarded the disc they would have won for that prize.
• If a chip gets stuck on the peg, the host may use a The Plinko® game stick to free the chip. However, this nullifies the outcome of that chip. That chip that got stuck is returned to the Contestant to be dropped again.
51. Showcase Process:
• Producer will randomly select two (2) Contestants as set forth in Official Rules 26-30.
• Two (2) Contestants, chosen as described above, play the Showcase, competing for a prize package. The Contestants are shown the Showcase prize package that is also described by the announcer. After the entire Showcase prize package has been revealed, each Contestant secretly writes down what s/he believes to be the price of the Showcase prize package. This is the Contestant’s bid.
• Contestants must not confer nor look at each other’s bids; to do so will result in disqualification from the Showcase.
• The host will ask each Contestant to speak the amount of his/her written bid. If the Contestant speaks a different bid than the written bid, only the written bid will be considered valid. If an Contestant has not written down a bid in the time allotted, s/he will be disqualified from the Showcase.
• The host then announces which Contestant’s bid is closest to the price of the Showcase prize package, without exceeding its price. That Contestant with the winning bid wins a prize, preselected by the producer, from the Showcase prize package.
• If the winning Contestant’s bid is under the actual price of the entire Showcase prize package, that winning Contestant shall win a prize, preselected by the producer, as described by Announcer in- Show. If the winning Contestant bid is under the actual value of the Showcase and within One thousand Dollars ($1000.00) of the price of the Showcase prize package, that winning Contestant will win an additional prize, preselected by the Producer. If the winning Contestant bid is under the actual value of the Showcase and within One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the price of the Showcase prize package, that winning Contestant will all items featured in the Showcase.
• In the event that both Contestants’ bids are greater than the price of the Showcase prize package, no prizes from the Showcase prize package are awarded to either Contestant.
• In the event that both Contestants have the same written bid, and have not overbid, they both win one (the same) pre-selected prize from the Showcase prize package. If they both have the same written bid, without going over, and they are within One thousand Dollars ($1000.00) of the price of the Showcase package, they both win an additional prize from the showcase, pre-selected by the Producer. If they both have the same written bid, without going over, and they are within One hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the price of the Showcase package, they both win the entire Showcase prize package. If both bids are within One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) without going over, but different from each other, the player who is closer is the only winner, and wins the entire Showcase prize package.
