The Price Is Right Wheel Simulation

[Eddie W. Shore]

How To Play

This game simulates the Showcase Showdown round of the game show The Price Is Right. The wheel consists of amounts from 5 cents to 1 dollar in increments of 5 cents. The goal is to get closest to $1.00 without going over. On the game show, the winner of the Showcase Showdown advances to the final Showcase round.

The program offers two modes:

2 Player Spinoff: This is a one spin playoff between two players.

3 Player Normal: This is a normal game between three players. Each player may have up to two spins. If the score exceeds 1 dollar, the player is out, and given a final score of 0.

When entering the names, you do not need to worry about entering the quotes.

Bonus Spins

Should a player get 1 dollar in one spin or their score from two spins add up to 1 dollar, then the player gets a bonus spin and wins $1,000. The bonus spin always starts from the 5 cent position. Unlike the game show, all bonus spins are taken immediately. Landing on the green 5 cents and 15 cents spaces wins $10,000, while landing on the red dollar space on the bonus spins wins $25,000. The amount on the bonus spin does not affect the player’s final score.

End of the Game

The end of the game will lists the players and their final scores.
