SpinJack! premieres New Year's Day on Channel 1 and will contain elements of strategy, general knowledge and luck of the draw.
Our contestants will come from our studio audience, determined by whomever is first to correctly solve the current acronym. Each of the acronyms could be based on anything: celebrities, movies, geography, world events - literally anything at all. A clue is given along with the initials in the acronym and then the first studio audience member to solve it comes up on stage. An example acronym might be this: Clue: One of the original manufacturers of computing systems. Acronym: IBM. In this case, the first person to respond with International Business Machines would become the current on-stage contestant.
Each contestant earns $500 in betting money for every correct acronym and the first time they make it on stage, they are fronted $2,000 in betting money, meaning they begin our game with $2,500 to bet with as they spin our gigantic Card Wheel trying to form the best possible hand of Blackjack.
Once the contestant spins their hand, the wheel is used to spin a hand for the house. Draws go to the contestant, so if they draw or beat the house's hand, the contestant wins the amount of their bet. If they spin themselves a Blackjack (Face Card and Ace), they win double their bet. Of course, if the house beats them, they lose their bet. The Card Wheel contains 54 cards, which includes a standard deck of playing cards along with two Joker cards which can be used to represent any card in the deck.
After each hand, that contestant returns to their seat in the audience, eligible to come right back up on stage should they once again be the first to solve the next acronym.
At the end of 10 hands, the contestant at the top of our leader board becomes our champion and plays our 5-hand Bonus Round where they could walk away with over $100,000 in cash!
