Out Of Stock
Description
Players answer questions from categories selected by a makeshift one-armed bandit (the topmost card in three piles) similar to the long running television program. Jokers are wild, and two or three of a kind make for increased payouts. First to collect $500 wins, and has an opportunity to collect $1000 more in the bonus game. Most money over several rounds wins the game.Released in four editions. The first through third were based on the original game and included the 'Jokers And Devils' Bonus Game (used in the latter days of the CBS run of the show), where players must make three 'spins' of Joker-Joker-Joker and avoid any Devil card the first spin won $100, the second $400 more and the third $500 more, for a total of $1000. The fourth edition, titled and based on the children's edition of the game ('JOKER, JOKER, JOKER') used the 'Beat The Devil' Bonus (like the syndicated run of the show) which featured 'spinning' dollar amounts to reach $1000 or more before revealing a Devil. (In both cases, on the show, reaching $1000 won an additional prize package no such accomodation was made in any of the home editions.) - BoardGameGeek
