The wheel has 24 segments with different cash values, prizes, penalties and others. Players spin the wheel and depending on the segment they are either paid out and get the chance to pick a letter or get a penalty. If the segment is not a penalty one, the player can pick one consonant.
If the guess is correct, then a prize according to the segment is paid. If the guess is wrong, the next player takes the turn. Cash - if the guess is correct, the player gets the amount of cash written on the segment multiplied by the number of times that letter appears in the puzzle. Prizes and Gifts - in order to obtain the prize offered in that segment, the player has to guess a consonant correctly. Usually the prize is added to the wheel at the start of Round 1 and taken away if no one has won it before Round 4 starts.
The cash value of the prizes and gift tags is announced at the beginning of the game. If the player is wrong, no penalty is used and player resumes his turn. Wild card - wild card can be used in two different ways. The first is to choose a second consonant for the same value as the segment he is on.
The second is to use it in the bonus round to pick an extra consonant, if he of course makes it to the bonus round. Million Dollar Wedge - this is a special wedge placed on the wheel for the first three rounds. This wedge is usually surrounded by bankrupt wedges on both sides. If it is not won during first three rounds, it is removed from the table after the third round. If the player claims this wedge, he has to avoid Bankrupt until the end of the game, win the round and finish as the game champion.
Bankrupt - black special segment that costs the player all the money and prizes won in that round, any Wild cards and the Million Dollar Wedge. There is one Bankrupt segment in the 1st round, and 2 in the 2nd and 3rd.
Lose a Turn - white this segment costs the player a go. This segment remains on the wheel for the whole game. The puzzle was a crossword consisting of four words: right, football, left, Sally. When it comes around to your turn, you may feel tempted to solve the puzzle even if you have no money. Not exactly. Remember that you actually need money to advance to the bonus round.
If you have the overall lead, but one of your opponents is sitting on a lot of cash in round 3, you should solve so you can win the overall game. Even if you never get to experience the thrill of appearing on national television, you can still enjoy the rush of competition.
