Bonus Game
The couple was given a choice of two prizes to play for: $5,000, or $5,000 and a car (early episodes gave the choice of just the cash or the car). Both players took separate paths on the archway, with one on the top level and one on the bottom level, and chose which of the two monitors to reveal. One hid a dollar sign while the other hit the bandit. The object was to reveal the required amount of dollar signs before finding a certain amount of bandits. Five dollar signs were required for the cash, while six were required for cash and the car. If the players revealed three bandits while playing for the cash or two playing for the car, the round ended and the players received $100 for each dollar sign they had uncovered.

Famous quotes containing the word game:
“I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive—besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
