After five questions, all three contestants advanced to the final round. Correct answers earned three spins for a buzz-in answer and one spin for a multiple choice answer. Their response, along with two other choices, were provided to the other two contestants, who selected one of the choices. The host read a question, and one of the contestants buzzed-in and provided a response. Round two consisted of five questions (four in some episodes) posed to the players. Cash values ranged from $100–$1,500 in round one, and prizes of similar values also appeared. Play continued until all three contestants froze or hit a Whammy. Landing on a Whammy in round one resulted in bankruptcy and eliminated that contestant from further play in the round. After each cycle of spins, additional Whammies were added to the board replacing cash values or prizes, and contestants chose to spin again or freeze with their score at that point. At the start of the game, each of the three contestants was spotted $1,000 and took turns taking one spin at a time on the board. Gameplay remained largely similar to Press Your Luck, with contestants accumulating cash and prizes and attempting to avoid landing on a Whammy, who took away the winnings of any contestant who landed on it. The show aired in reruns on GSN until 2017, and came back on May 11, 2020, up until October 1, 2021.
