On the next Wheel of Fortune...

[Bill Skinner]

We will debut a new set, as well as the wheels themselves. First up is the puzzleboard and contestant section that I created myself:



Next are the wheels created specifically for my series:

ROUND 1/JACKPOT

ROUND 2/MYSTERY

ROUND 3/VAULT

ROUND 4+


Special thanks goes out to Frank Sartori (grapebuy789), wheelgenius, MarioGS and darellnonis for their part in designing the wheels above.

Be on the lookout in the next new episode, which will also honor the upcoming 35th season of America's Game itself. Hope to see you then!

Thanks! I can't wait to put them all in action.

I hope you like the wheels Bill. By the way, the set looks absolutely beautiful.

Thanks, Frank! Now I'm going to walk you through the wheels, which were based on actual layouts that the show used in the past, with few differences.

ROUND 1: This is based off the second round when from 1987, as shown by the $2500 space. A gift tag covers the $900 space, $1250 replaces the first $150, the MDW covers the second $400, Free Play replaces the second $150, Jackpot replaces the Free Spin wedge, and Power replaces the last $300.

ROUND 2: This is based off the third round from 1987. Power replaces the first $250, $650 replaces the second $900, the first Mystery Wedge covers the first $200, the first 1/2 Car covers the $550, a Prize covers the first $200 after the first Bankrupt, $1500 replaces $1000 to accommodate the Mystery Wedges, a second 1/2 Car covers $350, which replaces the second $600 after the first Bankrupt, a gift tag covers $700, Free Play replaces $150, the MDW covers the $800 adjacent to Lose a Turn, and the second Mystery Wedge covers the last $400 before the second Bankrupt.

ROUND 3: This is based off the fourth round from 1987. The first prize covers the first $350, $950 replaces the first $900, Vault replaces the first $300, $850 replaces the first $250, Free Play replaces the second $900, the MDW covers the first $200, the first 1/2 Car covers the $550, a gift tag covers the $500 adjacent to the first Bankrupt, a second prize covers the first $200 after the first Bankrupt, a second 1/2 Car covers the first $250 after the first Bankrupt, and Power replaces the $500 adjacent to $5000.

ROUND 4: This is based off the original template from 1996, when the show began to use the same layout for all its rounds. A $2000 space replaces the first $300, $850 replaces the third $250, $7500 is the designated TDV, and Free Play replaces the $400 space that was originally covered by the Surprise.

Double Play, Surprise and the Wild Card may make an appearance eventually (and maybe even the Express), but those are the wheels you'll be seeing for now. Once again, if you need new wheels for your own WOF editions, be sure to talk to Frank!
