(Audience Cheers and Applause) (Play Big Board Spinning Loop at 10:25)

And we welcome you back to the 2nd and final round of the 2024 edition of Press Your Luck with our Big Board, which is filled with over $250,000 in cash and prizes, and as promised, we have some new features up there on the board that I would like to show you, and here it is!







Now first, we have the Whammy Shield near the top right-hand corner, and if you hit that, and you'll get a special shield that'll protect your money from 1 Whammy, and you'll not get a Whammy against you if you hit a Whammy.

We also have a special square called "Whammy Gauntlet or Spin Again". Now, if you hit that, and you'll have a decision to make. You can spin again and continue your turn as normal, or if you want, you can take on the Whammy Gauntlet Challenge. If you decide to do the latter, and any spins you have in the Earned Column will be moved to the Passed Column and you'll have to take those spins, but each spin will Double the value, and you'll continue to do that until you either finish all of your spins from the Passed Column or until you hit a Whammy.

We also got another special square called "$5000 + Final Spin". If you hit that, you'll earn $5,000, and when ALL of the spins have been used up in this round, you'll then have the Final Spin of the Game, and you can either take that Final Spin, or pass it to your opponent with the highest money. However, that will be null and void if you get knocked out of the game with 4 Whammies.

And players, we have one VERY SPECIAL square we have on the board tonight, and it's called The Big 50!



(Audience Cheers and Applause)

That square is dedicated the all-new Press Your Luck surpassing 50 episodes, and the new host, Elizabeth Banks, turning 50, and as such, we have that square on the board, and if you're lucky enough to hit that, and you'll 50 of whatever it is, and nobody in this studio knows what it is, but I've gotten a sneak peek of it, and it's a GOOD one. I'll tell you about it if you hit that square.

And of course, after that special square is hit, we've got...



the HIT IT HERE! space, and it is worth $25,000, and now, we've got something new, ladies and gentlemen! If that HIT IT HERE! space is hit...



...and an all-new Progressive Jackpot square will appear, and tonight, it'll start off at $50,000, and for each show that this square isn't hit, we'll add $5000 to it, and it'll continue to grow until the Jackpot square is hit, and when it does hit, whether it is won or not, the Progressive Jackpot will then be reset to $50,000, and...



...the Golden Grand Prize of $1,000,000 will be available!

(More Cheers and Applause)

Of course, the Whammies are determined not to let any of that happen! In fact, they want to steal all of your money while keeping their own big money safe. That's how greedy those little monsters are, and so far, they've done a pretty decent job at doing just that as the Whammy and his partner-in-crime Tammy and their minions are itching up and ready to steal even more and continue to put all of that into their Big Bank, which by the way, it's currently at...



BIG BANK: $26,965
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT: $50,000
WHAMMY'S BANK: $1,078,109

$26,965, and it will continue to grow if you keep hitting those Whammies. This is where they usually do maximum destruction here, so don't take this board for granted. However, this is now your opportunity to get back at the Whammy by hitting the Big Bank square!



(BIG BANK!)

Once you hit that square, you will then have a 1-in-6 chance of Whammying the Whammy by finding 1 of the 3 Big Bank squares on our 18-square board.

Also available on our board is the Whammy's Bank. If you hit that, you'll get 1 Whammy token, as well as 1 extra spin and some cash between $1,000 and $10,000, and to move one step closer to the Whammy's Bank, which currently stands at $1,078,109, you'll need 1 Silver Token.

And during the break, the producers have rolled a die to determine how many Whammy tokens you need to acquire the Silver token, and it's a good thing that you all have a lot of spins, because tonight, you'll need 4 Whammy Tokens to acquire that Silver Token. And in the process, if you have any Whammies against you, you may get a chance to LOSE THEM ALL!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

But beware players, because we have a "$2500 + Steal One Piece" square up there on the board that can really turn the tide of the game at a moment's notice.

And let's not forget about this; whoever has the most money at the end of this round wins the game, and if your total is less than $100,000, then you'll be able to play the Big Bad Bonus Board for a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. With all of that said, let's check the scores and find out who our winner is going to be...

Danny and Michael, you each have no money and a Whammy against you. The same can be said for Nels, but the only difference is that he has $6400, and as such, he'll be going last into this round.

Which means that we would normally start with the player with the lowest amount of money, but since there's a tie between Danny and Michael, the player to my left goes first. And once again Danny, that's going to be you.

You have $0 and 1 Whammy against you, but you have 6 spins to play with. So if you're ready, let's go to the board and let's make some money!

(Audience Groans) (Whammy SFX)

HOWEVER! It's a good thing you had that Whammy Shield as that was used immediately to protect your money from that Whammy!

(Audience Applause)



BIG BANK: $26,965
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT: $50,000
WHAMMY'S BANK: $1,078,109

So the good news is that Whammy Shield protected you and you didn't get that Whammy against you, but the bad news is, the Whammy Shield is now gone, meaning that you are now vulnerable against the Whammy from this point on, and that goes for everyone else, too.

You still have $4000, but you now have 4 spins left. Press Your Luck or Pass?

I am going to pass.

[dad90]

Ah, you're going to pass those spins over to Nels...



(Passed Spin(s) SFX)

Nels, Danny has given you 4 spins that you must take, but you're going to have to wait for a while, because we're going to Michael first with 8 spins, no money and 1 Whammy.

Are you ready to go to the board, Michael? If so, let's go!

(Audience Groans) (Whammy SFX)

(Sergeant Whammy activated)





(Boing!)

Ouch! It would've been better if a Thwomp took its place, but nevertheless, it wouldn't make any difference to consider the fact that you got Whammied, but if there's any good news, you only lost a spin as you didn't have any money to begin with.

BIG BANK: $26,965
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT: $50,000
WHAMMY'S BANK: $1,078,109

Oh no! Stop at a Whammy!

(Audience Groans) (Whammy SFX)

(Basketball Player Whammy activated)



(Go to 00:32)

(A tall and slim Whammy moves across the screen dribbling a basketball as the basketball destroys Michael's score bit by bit, saying "Look out!", name-dropping Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, then makes a crashing sound off-screen.)



(Boing!)

That's gotta hurt, Michael! All of that loot, as well as that Whammy Token, have been dribbled away by the Basketball Whammy Player, who might have taken participation from this year's Olympic Games, and has slam dunked all of that into the Big Bank, giving it a new total of....

BIG BANK: $53,465 + 1 Whammy Token
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT: $50,000
WHAMMY'S BANK: $1,078,109

(Cha-Ching!)

$53,465! And that includes the Whammy Token, too!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)



Now Michael, this is where we need to have a little chat. You are back down to $0, and you now have 3 Whammies against you, which means that if you get one more Whammy, and you'll be out of the game, and we'll be on the search for a new champion. Remember though, there is a $5000 or Lose-1-Whammy square up there on the board that'll help you get out of the danger zone.

With that being said, you have 4 spins remaining, and if you manage to hit the Big Bank square and successfully win it, and you'll have a commanding lead thus far. So what would you like to do? Are you going to Press Your Luck or Pass those remaining spins to Danny?

[larsonfan1]

I'm going to press my luck! Let's get that money back! Big bucks and no more whammies! Stop!
