Spin-Off (game Show) - Gameplay

Gameplay

Two couples, one pair being the returning champions, competed. The couples answered questions to spin a series of five "spinners" — rapidly-changing eggcrate readouts that flashed numbers from 1 to 6 at the rate of 17 digits per second — to build a Yahtzee-type hand.

With each correct answer, each spinner randomly flashed the numbers rapidly and were stopped by pressing a button. The couple could keep the hand shown, or reject some or all of the numbers and earn up to two opportunities to improve the hand (but must gain control with a correct answer). If the couple kept the hand, the opposing couple had one chance to better the hand. The couple with the top hand received one of the following payoffs:

Hand Award
One Pair $50
Two Pair $75
Three of a Kind $100
Straight $125
Full House $150
Four of a Kind $175
Five of a Kind $200 + bonus prize

The first couple to amass $250 (originally $200) won the game and advanced to the Super Spin-Off bonus round. Both couples kept their money and bonus prizes.
