So....
After seeing...
this...
I've decided to revive one of my earlier successful game shows...
The Joker's Wild Deluxe.
Now, here are the rules for the 2 rounds of the Main Game, and the Bonus Round.
3 players, with 1 being the Returning Champion, compete for cash and prizes worth over $150,000.
RULES:
Round 1:
The slot machine has 6 windows (2 rows of 3 windows).
The top windows have 5 categories, the bottom windows have dollar amounts from $5-$100 (in $5 increments), but all the windows have Jokers.
When a player spins single categories, questions are worth the value of Any 1 money window.
Spinning a pair (2 categories the same and a single category or 2 categories and a joker) or a triple (3 categories the same, 2 categories the same and a joker, or a category and 2 jokers) will have questions worth the total value of the 2-3 money windows (NOTE: If s/he spun 2 categories the same and a single category, s/he can choose either the single category or the 2 categories the same).
Also when Jokers appear the top window, players can go off the board and choose a category that isn't on the board.
A Joker is worth 2x the value of Any 1 money window, 2 Jokers are 4x worth the total value of Any 2 money windows, and if a player spun 3 Jokers, single categories are revealed and is worth 5x the total value of the 3 money windows.
The round begins with the champion spinning the machine to demand the value and category for the toss up question, and the first player to buzz in with the correct answer is receives the cash value and control of the machine, however if a player answers a question incorrectly the other players can buzz in and steal control by answering the question correctly.
If a Joker come up on 1 of the 3 money windows, questions are worth either $200 (a single category), $400 (a joker), or 3x one or two money windows (2-3 categories).
If 2 Jokers comes up on 2 of the 3 money windows, questions are worth either $250 (a single category), $500 (2 categories), $1,000 (2 jokers), or 6x the value of the remaining money window (3 categories).
If All 3 Jokers comes up on all money windows questions are worth either $300 (a single category), $600 (2 categories), $1,250 (3 categories), or $2,000 (3 jokers).
The round ends when 1 player reaches $1,500 or more. That eliminates the low score player, and his/her money will go into the "Natural Triple Cash Jackpot" (info below).
Round 2:
The two remaining players will now play for the right to become champion and Face the Devil.
Same as Round 1 with the 2 remaining players competing with 5 new categories and a Special Category called Mystery Money, the cash values now ranging from $100-$500 (now in $50 increments), with the "Opponent's Choice" card in 3rd money window along with the "Fast Forward" Cards in the first two.
The player with the LEAST amount of money from the previous starts this round. This time, after the getting the category and its value, the host will ask that player a question for that amount without trying to buzz in. If they're correct, they earn the money. If they're wrong, their opponent has a chance to steal.
After that, control automatically passes to the next player.
This time, a single category is now worth $100 + the value of Any 1 money window, a pair is now worth $200 + the total value of Any 2 money windows, and a triple is now worth $300 + the total value of all 3 Money Windows. If 3 Jokers pop up on the category windows, it's now worth $500 + the total value of all 3 Money Windows.
Also this time, 1 Joker on 1 of the 3 Money Windows automatically double the amounts of the two remaining money windows, and 2 Jokers triple the 1 remaining money window. And if all 3 Jokers comes up on all money windows, questions are now worth either $600 (a single category), $800 (2 categories), or $1,000 (3 categories).
However, if all 3 Jokers comes up on the category windows AND the Money Windows, the contestant has the opportunity to win the game RIGHT THERE AND THEN with one single question from ANY category of his/her choice, but it's a three-part question. If answered correctly with all 3 parts needed, the player automatically becomes champion, and has that total augmented to $5,000. If answered incorrectly by missing at least one part, the game continues.
Whenever Mystery Money pops up, the values are arranged at $200, $400, $600, $800 and $1,000, along with penalty values at -$300, -$400, -$500, -$750 and -$1,500. The contestant selected one of seven numbered question cards in a rack mounted on the host's podium; each card was in a different category, none of which were the same as any of the other five in play.
If 1-2 "Fast Forward" Cards comes up on either/both money windows, the contestant in control can answer as many questions as s/he wants for $250 (a single category/if there is one), $500 (a joker/if there is one or 2 categories/if there are two), $750 (2 jokers/if there are two or 3 categories/if the "Opponent's Choice" card is present) or 10x one or both money windows (2-3 categories/if the "Opponent's Choice" card is not present), but if s/he answers a question incorrectly, s/he lost all the money for that turn and his/her opponent get a chance at that question, however s/he can quit that turn when likes and take the money (NOTE: The value of a single category above the "Opponent's Choice" card is either $350 or 5x the other money windows).
When a player reaches $5,000 or more, his/her opponent gets 1 final spin of the machine to see if s/he can either beat or tie that score. If s/he did and answers a question correctly then the game continues until a player misses or spinning a value that wasn't enough having his/her opponent win the game, keep his/her money, and goes to the bonus game.
Like Round 1, the losing player's money will go into the "Natural Triple Cash Jackpot" (info below).
BONUS GAME: FACE THE DEVIL
This bonus game is in 2 parts.
Part 1: The winning player is given 1 free spin, and can earn up to 4 more free spins by answering 4 True-False questions, and up on the top windows now, instead of categories, there are prizes (4 single prizes, A 3-prize package and A new car) all totalling between $10,000 to $25,000, bonus cash amounts ($20,000, $25,000, $30,000, $40,000, $50,000, $60,000, $75,000, and $100,000), and jokers. After a spin, the player has the opinion of freezing any of prizes on the wheels, but s/he can't freeze a joker. When s/he froze a prize, if a joker was spun then that joker turned into that prize s/he spun.
After the free spins s/he has to choose either to go to Part 2 (where whatever that came up will be on line) or take the bonus spin. If s/he took the bonus spin, whatever that were spun on that spin will be on the line.
If the player spun 3 of the same prize before s/he ran out of spins, s/he won that prize (and the Natural Triple Prize Jackpot), leaving 7 more prizes on the line. If s/he spun 3 of the same bonus cash amount before s/he ran out of spins, that amount will be on the line in Part 2. If s/he spun 3 jokers in 1 spin, all prizes will be on the line.
Part 2: With any prizes and/or bonus cash amounts in the top windows on the line, down on the money windows now are dollar values ($250, $300-$500 in $100 increments, $750, $1,000, $1,500, and $2,000, and in the middle reel only $2,500), jokers, and devils. The winning player spun the machine and continues as long as only money and jokers came up on the wheels. Each time the winning player spun a joker, $1,000 is added to the Joker's Bonus ($2,000 after 5 spins), and that money is kept, win or lose. If s/he accumulated $10,000 or more without spinning the devil, s/he got to keep the money and what was on the top windows. If s/he spun 3 Jokers in 1 spin, s/he won the "Joker's Jackpot", which starts at $25,000 and went up with each cash amount the contestant has lost to a devil, to a maximum of $250,000. If s/he spun a natural triple (3 dollar amounts the same), automatically bring the money to $10,000 and wins what's on the top windows (and the Natural Triple Cash Jackpot). If s/he spun the Devil the game was over and s/he lost the money and the top windows, however s/he can stop the bonus game whenever s/he wants, take the money and choose 1 Prize from the top windows.
NATURAL TRIPLE JACKPOTS:
On my version, there are 2 "Natural Triple Jackpots", 1 is all prizes and the other is all cash.
Natural Triple Prize Jackpot: Like the 1984-86 seasons of the 2nd version, spinning 3 categories the same in the top windows in the front game is worth the "Natural Triple Prize Jackpot" which goes up by another prize each show it isn't won.
Natural Triple Cash Jackpot: When a player loses, his/her money is added to the "Natural Triple Cash Jackpot", which starts at $10,000 (a la "Joker's Jackpot" from the original 1972-75 CBS version). A player spinning 3 dollar amounts in the bottom windows in the front game wins the player the "Natural Triple Cash Jackpot" which is not added to his/her score.
Both "Natural Triple Jackpots" are played in the front game and the bonus game.
Champions stay on the show until defeated or until s/he goes to the bonus game 5 times or until s/he wins the "Joker's Jackpot" or until s/he wins all the prizes spinning all 6 Jokers in the bonus game (3 in part 1 & 3 more in part 2), whichever comes first. A 5-time champion automatically wins a car.
